Chad's Crappy Corner & his third gadget for his new October Theme.

For Chad's Cheap Corner our October Theme the Patreons picked “Spooky Decoration Gadgets”. (No surprise there, it has the word 'spooky' in it!) Chad's third spooky gadget is the 14 Pack Colored Overlays Transparency Color Film Plastic Sheets.

Okay, so by themselves they're not spooky, but watch this week's show to see how Chad is using them to make the outside of his house look more spooky. The set Chad bought was suddenly 'no longer available', but there are lots of other companies selling “Correction Gel Light Filter Sheets”. One of them, the Mogu 14 sheet pack of 8.5 by 11 Inch,7 Assorted Colors, seems very much the same. It contains 14 pack transparent colored plastic sheets, 2 of each of 7 color, just like the pack Chad bought on Amazon.

 

Chad's take: Chad liked these plastic gel sheets because they are protected by a thin film on both sides, which should be removed before use. They're great to use for lighting effects as you'll see. Chad notes that the sheets are thicker than other gels he has used in the past and he didn't think they would have trouble standing up to the halogen bulbs he's using them on outside his house. Watch this week's show to see how Chad changed the outside lighting for these Halloween nights.

 

https://amzn.to/3dDFAbG $13.99 (As on 10/15/20) There are many other choices there too that all seem the same. As an Amazon Associate Giz Wiz Biz earns from qualifying Amazon purchases. You pay no more.

 

UPDATE ON THE FILTERS CHAD DEMONSTRATED ON LAST WEEK'S SHOW. Don't buy them. They melted! Maybe that's why they are no longer available. But just in case other companies are using the same supplier for the ones Chad bought, use caution when placing gels on lights.
