So for a show in a couple of weeks we're going to be using custom gobos (bean counters yet to decide if they'll be actually customs of what we need of the closest stock pattern we can find) in moving lights (I believe 4). My question is do we give the gobos to the hire company and have them take care of swapping in and out, or do we do it once we have the fixtures onsite? I've done it both ways on shows I've worked on, but this time I'm ME and have to figure it out. And yes, I know how to swap moving light gobos. The reason I'm not sure is some shops are really picky over anyone doing ANYTHING with their fixtures. But I'm also concerned about the fact that the shop has been know to lose/forget/screw up on small details... so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they lost/forgot the custom gobos.
