Theatrical gels

Theatrical gels are thin almost clear pieces of plastic, normally with color. Theatrical gels are used to bring color to a puppet in a shadow puppet show. In the Lonley Robot, we used theatrical gels to bring color for our puppett show. In one of the scenes we had a christmas tree. For ornaments, we used the gels as color for ornaments. When it was behind the shadows, it looked great! Roscolux is a very popular theatrical gel company.
