Felt Sound Dampening Furniture Pads (Black, Brown, Grey, Tan, White)
Felt Sound Dampening Furniture Pads are a versatile and inexpensive tool used by video and film grip and set decoration departments for protecting locations, dampening sound practical effects.
Protecting Surfaces: Sticking them to the bottom of furniture or equipment legs (like C-stands or light stands) prevents scratching expensive location floors avoiding costly damage. They also reduce friction making it easier to quickly rearrange set pieces between swings.
Practical Effects: The reduced friction also aids in practical special effects. The felt pads can be applied to objects allowing them to be pulled smoothly and silently across a floor using nearly invisible fishing line, while the actors react in real-time to "paranormal activity".
Muting Noise: Felt is excellent for sound dampening. Pads can be placed under items to stop rattling or scraping noises that might otherwise be picked up by the production sound mixer, ensuring cleaner audio.
