Query: How do you store your filters after you cut them?

Hi Lady Revan, when I was working as a lighting tech I used to use a photograph album. I used the type that had a sheet of saran wrap style plastic attached to each page. You place the photo on the page then flatten the plastic over to hold it in place.

This worked well as the page was white so you could easily see the colours of each filter sheet /disc and of course you could write on the page itself and add tabs to categorise each colour section.

You might still be able to buy albums like this. Failing that maybe a ring binder/folder with plastic divider pockets would work.

I think I actually have a couple old albums of this type lying around. I'll have to look for them. Thanks for the tips! Cheesy

You're welcome. I was taught by a London West End theatre lighting director (who designed the lighting for Phantom of the Opera) and he used this method. Obviously for larger lamps the sheets were rolled up and stored in cardboard tubes.

Very nice! Cheesy Phantom is my favorite show. My best friend and I do a Leroux style Erik/Christine cosplay, though we've done Webber Version before also. Seen the US Tour several times, the Broadway show, and the Las Vegas Spectacular (won tickets actually for both the Las Vegas and for the 25th Anniversary on Broadway; two tickets both times so best friend came both times also).

For my filters I bought a dollar store binder and several packs of hockey card sheets. These are clear sheets that go into any three ring and have nine pockets on each page so I could slip the identity card in with the filter.

I saw this in another thread on filters, someone had taken a ring binder and had each set of cut filters with its backing sheet that gave name and number and stats in a ziploc bag which was then hole-punched and put into the binder note-book style.  Awesome idea...

Well whatever works for you.
I was looking on amazon and there are some 1" hole punches for scrap booking and such, I have been thinking of trying one out.

That's cool, I've yet to see the show on the big stage. However I did get to examine the original drawings and scenery schematics for the show as the Designer brought them in for us to look at. They were mindblowing to put it mildly.

I had a friend on another site that tried one these hole punch machines too and she really liked it. The disc edges are really clean and so you can cut holes much closer together saving material (meaning you might squeeze more filter discs from a sheet)

Still liking the AS with filters? I’m getting ready to order two sabers and debating on FO and PO LEDs or going AS with filters.
