I'm curious as to what you all think about the adventure I might be going on in the near future...
Basically, I'm interested in having the ability to create custom glass gobos for moving lights. I've found disks of glass from McMaster that can stand a max temp of 445° in the right size, and plan on essentially screenprinting a design on with grill or engine block paint (something high-temp and opaque). I'd love to know if it seems like I'm a crazy person for doing this, what issues you might see with this thought, and any other comments or questions anyone might have. This isn't show critical by any means, but it seems like it's much cheaper to spend $95 for 12 pieces of glass than potentially that amount for 1 custom made gobo. So, what do you think?
