Enhance Your Stage Productions With Gels for Lighting and Rosco Filters
Special lighting for a stage production enhances the performance and adds a sense of place and mood to a set. Whether the event is a professional theater production, concert, or even a school play, the stage lighting designer can use gels for lighting and Rosco filters for special effects and artistry.
Color brings life and vibrancy to the stage. Rosco filters and gels for lighting can create setting illusions ranging from a storm on the high seas to an intimate candlelit room.Lighting designers use these tools to give the audience a sense of location, time, or mood, or to enhance particular scenes of a production.The right lighting can evoke emotions like excitement, sadness, tension, fear, joy or more just by color alone.There's an extensive palette of interchangeable color gels for lighting for designers to choose from.
Rosco filters and gels for lighting are actually colored plastic sheets.These thin sheets of polycarbonate or polyester are placed in front of a lighting fixture in the path of the beam.They work by subtracting certain wavelengths of color; a red filter absorbs blue and green, allowing only the red wavelengths to pass through.The light source under the filter must emit a full spectrum, because filters work through a subtractive rather than additive process.
Gels come in sheets, rolls, or tubes to suit your lighting specifications.They are also available in various sizes depending on your needs. Gels fade or melt over time, some colors more quickly than others, so it's essential to replace them regularly. Dark green and blue lights typically burn out fastest because they absorb the most infrared energy.The life of a Rosco filter or lighting gel depends on the color, the instrument and lamp used, the dimmer level a filter generally runs at, and the amount of time the light is running.
Manufacturers provide swatch books that contain a small piece of each gel color available. When it is necessary to replace gels, a color code allows you to reorder. These books provide you the opportunity to choose between a wide variety of colors to find the perfect combination for your stage production.

Understanding Gels in Filmmaking
Gels really are nothing more than sheets of polyester that have been dyed certain colors. The term gel came from, gelatin. Back in the days of early theatre, they would dry colored gelatin and cut it into sheets. You are unable to use these now because they would burn up, thus, "tough" gels were born. Tough Gels are commonly used in lighting today.
When working with video and film there are three types of gels. Color Conversion gels, Color Correction Gels, and Color Effect Gels.
Just a quick misconception on how gels function. Most people believe they add light, this is untrue. What they actually do is absorb certain colors and transmit others, they are filters really. Gels actually remove certain colors , they doesn't add colors. Let's explain each gel category to fully understand.
Color Conversion gels are used when shooting a scene indoors but a large window is in the scene and you can see outdoor lighting. You can handle this in two ways. You can place a CTB(Color Temp Blue) gel on you indoor lights to match the exterior. But this isn't the best way. The best way is to get a large sheet of CTO(Color Temp Orange) gel and place it over the window to change the light coming in.
Color Correction gels are mostly used over fluorescent lights to offset the large amount of green the light throw off. You would place a Magenta(minus green or plus green depending on the light source) over the lighting structure.
It is important to apply both of these gels to the light source then manually white balance the camera. Why? Because you want to create light which the camera sees as white.
Finally, my favorite gel, the Color Effects gel. I use these constantly. First set your manual white balance then throw a gel over the light source. Depending on your scene. For a night mood, maybe throw on a blue on for moonlight. These gels set the mood of the scene.
I would also like to make a brief mention of Neutral Density Gels. I have two ND filters on my camera so I use these more than the gels. However, you would use these gels to absorb all light equally. It doesn't change the color of the light at all, it just reduces the light level. I usually use these when working on interior shots. Well, that's it for now. Happy gelling.
