Gel Frames

[Teddy]

I'm going to have to ask a moronically simple question :( and one to which I should know the answer

 

I need 12 Par 64's,

6 in Lee 013

6 in Lee 103

 

How much Gel do I need to order for standard par64 gel frames??

The answer to all your questions is here, http://www.stagepoint.co.uk/Lantern_Guide.htm, amongst many other places.

Cheers

I've found that you can squeeze in 5 cuts (240mm wide rather than 255mm wide) across a roll (1200mm?)of Lee or CJ gel - the gel sits slightly inside the frame but never had an issue. Means rather less wastage than cutting 4 cuts and throwing the rest.

 

For what it's worth

Just to tidy this up, I assume David means 5 x 2 as, yes, you can get 10 cuts of PAR64 out of a sheet of Lee IF you cut them a little small. Or 8 if you cut them full size.

Yep, we seem to have rolls over here rather than sheets - so I base anything on that :)

 

By my maths, 5 across gives you 20 cuts per meter.

 

Anyway :)
