More commonly spelled http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/g...cukaloris.html, or http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/g...kukaloris.html. A device for casting shadows or silhouettes to produce patterned illumination popular in lighting for TV and film. They are often called "cookies". They are similar to gobos, but are used further away from the lighting source, are much larger in size, and do not need to be used with a lighting instrument.
