Snoot and a gobo?
Make a snoot out of some cardboard or construction paper, you can slide it over the flash head. Make it about 12 inches long to start. A shorter snoot will give more light spread, longer will be less.
You can make a cutout in the shape you want and put it over the end of the snoot. As long as you are not too far from the flash, you should have a pretty sharp cutoff. Show us the results!

Thanks - I was working up to something like that. So far I'm looking at:
- Using paper/cardboard to make a shape that transitions from the rectangular-ish shape of the flash head to something like a 6" x1/4" long rectangular shape to form a sheet of light. In a attempt to collimate the light output I may make the 6" x 1/4" rectangle have two mirrors forming the 6" side so that the light bounces through a narrow channel
- Using a fiber-optic bundle (hundreds of fibers) to transition from the flash output shape to a single line of fibers
- High power LED head that generates a 60 degree light fan/sheet and putting a high speed switch on the DC power supply to make a 1/10000 sec or so light pulse (usually green or red in color). I will be in B&W mode anyways
Thanks!
