Color Glass Gobos are stupidly expensive(and fragile). A friend has ordered two different ones over the last few years for two different clients(they paid for 'em) and they were about $800+ each, if I remember correctly. One was used for ONE interview for a private museum video and the other was used for the majority of interviews on a network special.If you have a multi color log there are some companies that can put it on a glass gobo. It's a lot more expensive though. Rosco is probably one, there should be others.
That's true. Inkjet transparencies are designed to hold up to having high wattage overhead projector lamps hitting them. They won't last a long time, but they also aren't as expensive and replacements can be printed as necessary. It's a pretty ingenious add on for the ETC lights.If I recall correctly Nino talks about an attachment for the source 4 that allows you to print your own on transparancy media for one time use type things.

Yeah when I get around to adding an ETC source 4 to my kit this attachment will be one of the things I insist on buying along with it.That's true.
