Breakup Gobo inventory

[propmonkey]

We are about to order a dozen or more breakup gobos for general specials and effects. what breakups do you all use and recommend that look good and that will last.

[moojoe]

glass or metal? or both?

[propmonkey]

metal

why dont you save the money and make your own break up gobos are really simple.


take a pie plate and a hammer and nail and i think you can figure out the rest

are those really worth the time?

[moojoe]

yea, some of the time, if all you need is some holes in a plate that wont last to long, then yea, its fine, but if you want tree gobos and such, you need to buy them. unless of course you have a laser cutter.

I would suggest the following when it comes to rosco, I dont have my other catalogs next to me, so ill only do rosco for now
R77805
R77811
R79660
R78221
R78217
R79100
R77863
R77721
R78219
R77530
R77527
R77951
R77787

these all can be fairly useful, but of course, it all depends on the show.

we have 2 rosco vortex 360 gobo rotators, we would like to get a collection of gobos to create effects with them. as of now we have the gobos for the water effect but what gobos will we need for a rain effect? a fire effect? and what other effects can we create with them?

[moojoe]

ohhh thats what you want. should have specified that. i dont have my catalog so i cant help right now, but ill look later.

though, working with rotators, ive noticed that you really can only get so much with metal, though nice, but if you guys can even get jsut two glass gobos, your set.

[propmonkey]

we want a good slection for just gobo washes and we also want some for our rotators effects.
