"gobo"の定義と意味

What is a "gobo"?

A gobo is a stencil or template used in lighting to create patterns, shapes, or textures in the light projected onto a scene. It is placed in front of a light source, such as a spotlight, and allows the light to shine through the cut-out areas, projecting the desired pattern onto surfaces. Gobos are commonly used in filmmaking, theater, and photography to add visual effects, such as shadows or decorative designs, and to enhance the mood or atmosphere of a scene.
