COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Wybron and Apollo Design announced that more than 1,300 Apollo gobos have joined the Moiré Gobo Library, and 150 Apollo gels will be integrated into Wybron’s Gel Swatch Library. The updated version of the gobo library, available now, also features 500 gobos from InLight Gobos.
With the addition of InLight and Apollo, the gobo library now includes more than 3,300 different patterns.
“We are pleased to be working with Wybron on adding Apollo gobos and gel to their iPhone apps,” said Joel Nichols, president of Apollo. “They have taken a leadership position in apps development, and adding Apollo should strengthen that by giving our industry more access to the tools needed to bring productions together on a daily basis.”
Wybron said its updated gel library with the Apollo gels should be released by mid-May.
Scott Longberry, Wybron engineer and developer of the iPhone apps, said customers have been requesting Apollo gels and gobos for some time.
“We take customer suggestions seriously. I personally read and respond to each feedback e-mail we receive,” Longberry said. “We want to make these apps as practical and useful as possible.”
“This allows designers to have the tools they need at their fingertips,” noted Rick Hutton, president and founder of InLight Gobos. “We thank Keny [Whitright, Wybron president] and Wybron for the great opportunities they bring the industry.”
Wybron’s Gel Swatch Library offers more than 1,000 gels from Apollo, GAM, Lee, and Rosco, with SED graphs and CMY/RGB percentages for each color and the ability to compare similar and complimentary colors.
The Moiré Gobo Library features more than 3,300 A-size gobos from Apollo, GAM, InLight Gobos, and Lee, with the ability to spin or blur each gobo, or overlap and spin two different gobos with the TwinSpinTM feature.
