You're actually dumb this is the most informative and many of these effects ain't even on RU-vid elsewhere you fool quit tryna put people down cause you are a low life and not the man himself
Great informative video. Dont know why there are any haters, I learned more about fog machines and set ups in under 15 mins here than anywhere else. Keep it up!!
Thank you for posting! I used a hose to direct fog through a suit and up to the head, where it was released. The heat melted the tube and there was little effect...now I understand why. Thank you for mentioning that there needs to be a little spacing between the machine and the tube/fog distributer. Good video and your dog is such a sweetie!
The most helpful tip that's not super obvious is to leave a little space or "air gap" between your machine and the pipe so it has a chance to pull air in with it. I had been making a tight seal to the fog machine so it didn't leak but this works LOTS better!
Thank you sir for all the hard work that you did to show the fans something new! Much appreciated....i plan on checking out the rest of your videos.....thumbs up!
thanks for such a complete approach to fog fx! im planning to combine the fog blanket and chiller. ill use a projector pointed at the fog as it drops from the elevated fog blanket tube making it a screen. hopefully i wont need to add fans and fins to make a laminar flow screen. it gets windy so i may need to tube sideways so the fog flows with the wind instead of trying to fight nature. thanks again! your video answered most of my questions and gave me a solid foundation from which to begin! Keep up the good work! I'm curious to see the body of work created and offered by your critics. It seems that critics cant produce anything but negativity.
Love the fact that you showed several options & effects in one video . I have two small fog machines and a small porch..plenty of pvc from other projects so I'm going to try the one w/the holes and turn the holes in opposite directions. Tried the ice one year but it was too much trouble for me once the ice melted .Great time to get the machines back out the attic practice the new alternative .Thank you SOOOO much ;) for the motivation & ideas. Have a Happy Halloween & a great weekend.
Very much appreciate you doing this for all of us. Very helpful...some of these options I had never thought of, but, especially the tube...exactly look I was looking for to do photography work. Excellent! Thanks again.
Hi! just get the mister kool from adj, or just add a little bit of glycerin to the fluid. Look up how to make fog fluid and you can experiment with the ratios! Or just add ice.
Excellent, versatile, and combinable ideas. Inexpensive too. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to create the affect I'm looking for by using the chiller + the curtain tubing to roll fog off my screened porch and into the yard without filling the porch itself.
Thank you for sharing. You explained a lot of what we can do with these effects. The blanket affect seemed more like a curtain, but it was still very cool. I did not think the pipes would change the fog output like that. I want to combine the chiller with the holed pipe to see what it can do. Thanks!
If you mount a small fan to the lid of the ice chest, blowing INTO the cooler, it will push much more low lying fog out. About 150% more. Also, it’s staying low because of the coolness of the ground. Fog from a traditional machine (with no co2 mixed in) will ALWAYS rise again. Especially in an indoor venue where the lights and people inside make the environment much warmer than your lawn in winter here.
@@The_Original_Nosferatu That's a good point, because the temperature outside fluctuates. I've used this mechanism for Halloween props, but dry ice would be the way to go because it's colder.
Thank you for sharing. So helpful for people like me that just want to totally creep out their yard because we love Halloween. Of course I didn't have all this cool stuff when I was younger. Lol
Thanks SO much for posting this. I really want to use a fog curtain for my production of The Wizard of Oz, and this is the best example I have seen. I also appreciate the other effects as well, as I also want to direct fog underneath the Wicked Witch when she appears (along with lights etc.). Wow thanks again!!
The fog becomes thick when chilled because the molecules compact and become denser as energy is lost in the form of heat and the molecules become less excited. This increase in density is also what keeps the fog low to the ground.
Awesome, love the chiller used to make a dry ice effect 👍👍👍👍 I'm definitely going make one soon depending on if this stupid Corona Virus disappeares 👍👍👍👍
Good video. Thanks for the cooler tip. I am going to rig up four coolers for Halloween now to flood our school commons area during their morning break. Four Hurricane's using your cooler technique and one Cumulus. Seriously, I was wondering how to maximize the fog from the Hurricanes, and you taught me a lesson. Thank you. Keep the vids coming. Fog life, baby.
One of these days I'll get around to making a chiller. I want to have one set up on each side of my yard. And maybe after a few years I'll get really ambitious and make some for my neighbors at the end of the streets. Have all 4 corners and my house in the middle blasting fog to cover the whole street.
wow this helped me a lot. I was having problems with the wind blowing it directly and the fog was just not really showing up. I def believe my problem was placed up hig and I had no control of direction.
Were is your video of making the cooler? You opened it too fast, lol. I'd like to make this cooler you are showing. It looked like you have the input hole cut high on that side, and the output high too. Then it looked like you had some kinda shelving on the input side forcing the fog underneath the ice? Then I think you said were was grading underneath the ice? Do you have a video of the construction of this cooler?
That was very helpful especially letting us know that we need to leave a gap. You are right, I have never seen that part on a video before, they always connect so I connected it also. Question - Can you combine the cooler with the blanket effect? Have you done that before? Thank you for the video.
I made my own chiller for my band using a 5 gallon bucket with air tight lid . I drop a block of dry ice in it and blow the fog thru that . You get super low dense fog and no backlash leaking
