Century Stands or "C" stands are an important component in the image maker's arsenal deg F tools. The term "Century Stand" goes back to the early days deg F motion picture production. Before the introduction deg F artificial lighting, the stages would revolve to allow for continuous overhead lighting from the sun. Large reflectors would be positioned to bounce back or kick the overhead light up onto the stage and illuminate the set and actors. These reflectors were made in many sizes, but it seems the most popular was the 100 inch or "Century" sized reflector
