Okay this is not really part of the current conversation, but I just got custom gobos for my VL2500's and I would like to know if there is a video somewhere on how to replace the gobos in the light. Please let me know if there is!!

Hi, I'd like to thank all of you for the help you have given me. We do two shows all year and the Winter One Acts (but in that, we just use stuff we already have). I will, in the end, have to talk with my other people to see what they think. But I agree that perhaps you are all correct!!!!!!-LM

I agree, but most of our money comes from the booster club and what we can get from shows. So, its not always for sure that we will have that amount of cash. The TD and Director are also hesitant I think to try to purchase moving lights. Could be because our theater is only 2 years old.:?:

Well, we don't own any moving lights, but we have around 16 scrollers and a budget that generally gets us 6 moving lights (around 600$ for rental each). So, yes it would be rental.

I understand all of your opinions and they all make sense. Thank you for all of the imput. This is really going to help me when we get closer to the show. :):):):):)

Well, I am pretty intent on using them, because our spotlights would have to be spot on when turned on. Also, if we used our SL's we would have to map out exactly where Eugene would be. And on our lightbord (Strand Pallette Classic) I belive we can change things instantly if there is an...

I just got my Rosco gel book that I ordered from Rosco three months ago on monday.

We generally rent our lights from Atmosphere lighting. Do you think two studio color 575's or Studio Spot 575's would do it???

Well, then I suppose a star curtain would not work, our director likes more depressing realistic shows. Hmm... We might have a god light on Eugene each time he speaks to the audience. Do you think the best solution would be to rent moving lights for this??

Hello! My school is doing BBM this fall and I was wondering if anyone has done it, and if they have, do you think that using a fiber optic curtain would be a bit much?? I lean more towards artistic lighting and very colorful bright scenes. Since this play is very realistic, I wondered if a...

The numbers were in the 800's and they weren't matching up with any GAM numbers or another gel company numbers. Also, the gel was of a thicker plastic-y consistency. Our TD told me it was Roscolene, but I tried Rosco and the site doesn't have a "request roscolene gelbook" at the bottom like the...

Thank you so much for all of your support and for being so welcoming. (both of you)!!!!

Hi my theater has a TON of Roscolene and I really wanted to see if I could find one. I've tried Parlights (local store) and ebay. Any ideas???

Hi I am a highschool student who lives and breathes sawdust and dusty catwalks!!!!!! I LOVE lighting and I literally cannot go a day without thinking about a cool gobo or gel color. I am going to be the light co-crew chief at my highschool this fall for Brighton Beach Memoirs and I joined so...

High School Theater Experience.Well, I suppose I am spoiled in my high school tech experience. Our theater was just redone and we have a spiffy Strand Lighting Pallet Classic Light board and JR Clancy fly system. Its never really been the cheep way. Will Collage differ much in this? As far as...
