I am looking the name of this item. There are several designs that you can put in front of lights to give amazing shadows on the wall. They are made out of cardboard. You can buy a set but I dont know the name and I have been looking all over the place for them...please help.

thank you
 
Cookie or cookaloris.

Edit: Also gobo if you are putting it inside a focusable light (like a leko.)
 
I have never seen ones made of cardboard for sale. I could be wrong. It seems there would be some liability with fire hazard.

Matthews makes them of wood and wire, your choice. In a pinch, I have made my own from foam core or black wrap.

I also have several different patterns for Source4 Lekos. I really like this soulution the best.
 
I think (cant see a link) that you are talking about Gobos

FYI you only get a clean shadow if the light has a lens $$$$
 
Why buy them? Make your own with cardboard and a pair of scissors.

But phudsontx is quite right re fire hazard - if you need to mount the cookies/gobos near to your lights, use something fireproof - thick metal foil is often the easiest option.
