  color gels

  Posted by Justin L. on April 12, 2011 at 3:16 am

  Hey guys!

  Any reccomendations for a color gel for my light? There’s like a lot of options out there and I can’t decide so I need your help! I’m looking for a gel under $50.

  Thanks!!

  I am a fan of the Rosco packs, like their “Jungle Book”, which pre-selects the most commonly needed correction gels for typical shooting conditions…

  Not a gel, but I also suggest some diffusion material, like Toughspun or opal tough frost or Rolux.

  You weren’t very detailed in your request so that’s the best I can offer for now…

  Those color gels are nice to have if the light is meant to splash a wall. To light people and scenes, I think you want to start out with something more prosaic and to the point: a color correction kit like this:
