Tucked into a venue’s attic, sorting through a lifetime of gel (literally, I found some that is from a manufacturer that went defunct in the 80s) whilst the sweetheart preps for plot and tech rehearsal
Solid use of a rainy Sunday when I’m still too sore for anything that requires big concentrating.
And! Bonus! I get smooches whenever he takes a break ^^
if there’s anyone in Aotearoa or maybe Auzzie that’s like “I would love and cherish these weird colour plastic pieces” for crafts or shenanigans, I am open to sending a few envelopes out. I have another fucktonne to finish sorting through here, and a bunch more at my warehouse that also need a sort through.
They can make real cute shaker or window cards with a bit of patience
or if you (or someone you’re close with) is a wee indie lighting designer, who’s still using mostly tungsten or wants to play around with it, I will happily send a chunk of gel their way
Just coz it’s not tidy enough for a full season here, doesn’t mean it’s no good at all. And playing around with gel off cuts at home is a great way to dick around with colour theory and gel combinations without a heap of time pressure
