Makeshift Gobos?

[tubedude]

Hey, does anyone have any experience making DIY Gobos, separators??
I have a small budget. They seem very expensive to buy.
If anyone has any advice on what material would be best to use.
I want to try and isolate a drummer as much as possible from the rest of the band in a live room, it's not a recording studio or anything, just a rehearsal room. I know it's not ideal, but if I try and reduce leakage as much as I can.
Any tips appreciated...

That will be a tough one, especially if the room is small. What size space have you?

Oh ok... so if I cut up some coke cans and some cookie paper and get the plexiglass in shape with the laser cutter and make sure not to overheat the ERS....wait.......what?????

What the hell are these guys talking about?!

How big is the room?

Anyway, paul...I don't have any set space, I'l be using one of the rehearsal rooms around the city probably, so you can imagine around what size I'd be talking about, but they're all pretty terrible acoustically, but if I can try and isolate everyone as much as possible...

This guy looks pretty nifty, doubt I'd be able to make it as good as that though!

Found this, seems like a fairly simple design, with straight forward instructions.
Maybe I will try this....

If anyone has any ideas, blueprints/designs for anything similar like this like this, I'd appreciate it.

They are reffering to a different type of gobo, the ones used in stage lighting. It's like a tin stencil you stick in front of a light bulb so that the light will project a certain pattern.
