mineralblue Member Registered: 21/09/01 Posts: 6539 Loc: Downtown Houston, TX	Does anyone have any experience with a gobo machine? Click HERE for an example of what a gobo is... For our wedding, we are interested in getting our hands on a gobo machine, and would be very interested in having a custom gobo design made. _________________________ You should listen to your heart, and not the voices in your head. - Marge Simpson

Mobycat Member Registered: 12/09/00 Posts: 8374 Loc: the hue of dungeons and the sc...	Custom gobos can be pricey. For a decent one, expect to pay minimum $100 just for the first cookie (should include the setup fee). Just be sure you have the right size made for the machine. _________________________ "Nature has constituted utility to man the standard and test of virtue.

Anonymous Unregistered	I never thought that I would see this topic here. Gobos is what I do. We sell gobos and lights to put them in. What are you trying to do? Where are you located? PM or e-mail me for more info!

Anonymous Unregistered	Mineralblue, your PM box is full and I can't message you back. There are company's in Houston that you can rent lights from. I can have the gobos made and sent to you to put in the rental lights.

Anonymous Unregistered	If you were getting married in Austin, I would loan the light and gobo tray, to you... the gobos can be cut at several companies, but Rosco has a laser-cutting outlet in Round Rock which makes it super convenient for me to get stuff done on quick turn-around. remember that distance and placement are key to doing it right... in other words... these babys get RED hot and you don't want anyone touching it... and where you aim it, needs to be within a reasonable distance and perpendicular(mostly) to get the desired result.

Sorry, now back to your original programming. _________________________ -Jeff "May the Force be with you...for me to poop on." "Russell! Somebody gonna get a hurt real badddd."
