== History ==
Cinematographer [[George J. Folsey]], [[American Society of Cinematographers|ASC]] thus recounted the history: 
<blockquote>While shooting a scene with an actor who was wearing a white shirt, he wanted to separate the skin tones on the actor’s face from the hue of the shirt. Folsey told a grip to hold a stepladder in front of a key light to create a shadow on the actor’s shirt. The closer that the ladder was held to the light, the softer and less defined the shadow became. The grip eventually tired of holding the ladder, so he cut a grill with the same pattern in a sheet of light wood. One day, Folsey visited [[Hal Rosson]], ASC, who was shooting on another set. In the scene, an actress was lying on a bed swathed in white sheets. Rosson used Folsey’s wooden grill to create some shadows, which made the scene more dramatic. Later, while shooting a similar situation, Rosson asked Folsey, “Where’s that kookaloris thing?”.<ref>[http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Education/Publications/Essential_reference_guide/index.htm?CID=go&idhbx=referenceguide Kodak: The Essential Reference Guide for Filmmakers]</ref></blockquote>
