So two questions here:
I currently use Apollo gobos and Rosco gels. We had bought the gobo toolkit from Apollo about a year ago and use all the gobos in it constantly along with many other gobos from them and I think we have thrown away three, and it was because they burned. My point is that in my experience Apollo gobos have lasted a lot longer than the gobos I bought from Rosco. There are a couple of gobos we still have from Rosco that are burnt a little that we keep because Apollo does not sell anything like it.
Then my Rosco gels I feel like my skin tone gels I am placing in my 8' fresnels I am always having to replace, I usually have R02 or R05 in them and I have to get new ones for every show. With my red, green, and blue gels we use in our Altman Cyc lights I usually have to replace those around every six months, give or take.
So which company have y'all had the best results with? Should I switch my gels to Apollo? Would they last longer?
Then my second question, what is your favorite gobo, whatever company for just a general breakup for a scene or to have on hand?
