A common photography tool that is relatively uncommon in the film/video world - the beauty dish. This modifier creates quite a specific look that is very fitting for certain scenarios, like the one demonstrated in the video.

These are tools designed with photography flashes and strobes in mind, not high powered, constant lights that kick off a lot of heat - I would think twice before shooting one of these with, for example, a 1200 watt unit at full power - you may melt something, you may be fine, it's not something I've tried! But I've used them with lower powered lights quite often and they've been solid.
