They should carry it at camera stores. I think they're called gels, and they use them for lighting effects. Or if you know some kid thats in the audio/visual crew in high school, I'm sure he could swipe you some.

look up "theatrical supply"

here is a link to a manufacture of theatrical gel.

http://www.rosco-ca.com/products/fil...Roscolux#Color

if you look up a place in the phone book, they will carry somekind of gel, either rosco, or Lee are 2 of the big manufacturers of it. When you go in there, ask to see a "swatch" book and pick a color, the sheets come in a 20 by 24" piece, for under $10

for a nice true blue rosco #80 or #84 is nice. I have some scraps of 84 if you want me to send you a piece. (pm me an address)

Sounds like a good idea, I would go with the theatrical stuff too.
