hey guys, i'm wondergin if there was anywhere in brisbane that sells theatre lighting gels, for use on an external flash. i know of a place up the north coast that apparently sells theatre gels in a square metre sheet, and am wondering if there's a place locally that does similar,
thanks guys

You can ask for sample swatches which fit on small flash heads so you can experiement..

Good luck - I tried that a few times, with no reply, or result. I ended up buying some from the local agent.

Cheers

i found the dealer of rosco gels in bundamba today, and picked up a swatch book of e-colour+ gels, which i don't think will work with a flash, as i noticed warping in the plastic after the first flash fire! and i also grabbed a swatch book of Rosco SuperGel, which looks pretty good, and no warping yet, so they might be a goer.

i've also got onto a Rosco rep via their site and they should be mailing me out a swatch book of the "storaro" collection of colours, which to my understanding is just the primary colours or something. and if the swatch request thing on their site worked correctly, i should also have a swatch book of the cinegel range coming in the mail as well.

hopefully it'll work out all right :D
