Sam Bignell Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hey Everyone! I have quite a good assortment of gels from party to technical etc etc When people rent or when I'm on a job that requires one the gels to be Cut or modified how do you go about charging for the usage of that Gel? Especially when it's being rented and being cut up from it's good size? Most my gels are precut "Sheets" from Stage Depot for like £7, Is it ok to charge for a new "sheet" of the used gel? Thanks!! -Samuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted March 1, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted March 1, 2020 Generally it's off of rolls, and charged by the foot. Were they sheets, I'd charge by the sheet if it's modified. But you should mention that before hand and get approval from production. If they say no; then sorry, no cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Greene Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 If they use a new sheet, then I'd charge for it, and they can keep it after production if they wish. Of course you should make an agreement on gels before the start of production so there are no misunderstandings. I wouldn't charge for scraps left over from previous productions though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob norton Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 When charging for expendables is there a margin built into the price or is it expected they'll be at cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
