GOBO PATTERN STORAGE
I get CD storage pages for binders. Each disk pocket gets up to five of the same gobo. Labels are created with the gobo number (or numbers in Rosco's case), gobo name
and the quantity of gobos in the pocket.
This allows designers to flip through the binder to see their options for standard breakups,
windows, etc.
We also took a page from Syracuse stage and made an excel file with each gobo's name,
number and image as an easy way to send the list to designers.
Gobos/Patterns/Templates are stored in a 4x6 card file box with a labeled card separating
sections labeled "windows", "Foliage", "break-ups", etc. rather than by #; But I also usually choose the gobos as I need them, live and in person. In designs for other venues I will spec # and name.
