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!!
You're actually dumb this is the most informative and many of these effects ain't even on CZcams elsewhere you fool quit tryna put people down cause you are a low life and not the man himself
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!
@@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 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 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!!
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 👍👍👍👍
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!
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.
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.
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.
Really...the hot fog travelling through ice gets cold? Who would have thought? AND the reason the fog hugs the ground after cooling {and is denser) is due to Charles law, which states: "for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, assuming in a closed system." As you cool the gas it becomes denser, and thus sinks.
How about stop being a nob jockey you should know fog cool down and especially the way fog is created using glycerine and distilled water that literally all it is and can cool down dramatically and quickly like anything you add ice to and the fact it bunches up on the cooler gives it time to cool down you need to stop tryna say it's wrong when they is clear proof this works all over the internet you fool
Very good info! Thanks. However, I recommend that you use a different camera or just set that one on a tripod. Pretty much the entire video was out of focus and way to jittery.
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
Thanks for taking the time to show us these fog techniques... I noticed that you created an S shape elbow on your PVC pipe "Fog Blanket" set-up, I was wondering why. If the pipe was simply straight, would it affect the outcome?
The cooler idea I like how is it made. Looks like a metal Coleman ice chest is that correct. How do you make that. I would like to make one for my wife's cemetery thanks
Hi , my name is Dan . I'm a DJ in Montreal . I like your ide about the ice cooler for low lying fog ... Can you send me instructions on how you modified the cooler for this effect , bot the intake and output ...Thanks
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.
No. 4 fog blanket, why the bends in the pipe? Would it be better to have a straight pipe with some type of legs clamped on to keep the pipe from turning? Maybe then a longer pipe with holes spaced further apart. That wooded area would look great with that fogger at night and a bunch of green LED back lighting.
Does fog juice get bad if you don't use your machine often?. I have a Fog Commander that I bought in 2001. I've only used it a handful of times. It doesn't seem to fog up anywhere near what you've got in this video. The fog is in fact very weak.
connect the chiller to your fog curtain and you should be able to hang it will fog rolling down, so you can do fog rolling off a roof or down from the top of a doorway and then cling to the floor.
i love halloween! I love putting on very large Haunted houses free to the public. every year the fog machines stop working before we are done. what am i doing wrong? I know i have been using the wrong type fog solution. I buy them at a big name Halloween store. I think I need a better brand of both. Do you have any subjestions on better product or dealers. I have been putting on these aoutdoor events for almost 50 years. Fog is one of the best effects. I think it is so wonderful of you to share your wonderful knowledge with outhers for free. I is a great way to give back making others happy. I am so looking forward to your reply.
Came for the FOG stayed for the DOG 😃 got distracted watching him play 😁💕
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!!
propably movie producers for sharing the secrets for atmospheric or horor movies
Video could have been 3 minutes long..
@@moegreen4406 And you could have kept your comment to yourself and moved right the fuck on down the line.
@NikosPer It would not be producers. And we could never use any of that in the movies, for example, 1 fan cost me 14 thousand.
Maybe not the slickest but definitely the most informative fog machine tutorial I’ve come across. Thank you
You're actually dumb this is the most informative and many of these effects ain't even on CZcams elsewhere you fool quit tryna put people down cause you are a low life and not the man himself
Love the dog playing around

Dude, I could watch a whole video of your dog playing with that rope. Freaking adorable!
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!
I dont understand the reason.
I love your video. It sounds like you have been smoking your fog but that just makes it better. Thanks, very informative.
Your dog is just having the time of it's life.
Great video! Thanks for the tip on leaving an air gap between the fogger and the first connection. I would have never have thought of that.
I didn't understand the purpose of the ice, but you are the only guy who explained it to me. Thanks, man.
Use DRY ICE it will past longer and way better look, line your cooler with Styrofoam or your cooler will crack.
@@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.
I Love how it's "Caught in the grass" ! I've had a dream where bits of grey cloud were caught in the grass, up on a hill!
Majiic !
That's some very thoughtful fog.
heavenly, some might say.
Relaxed even...
Really cool video! I like effects number 3 & 4 they are really cool and the fact that the woods starts in your backyard is amazing!
Dude, you have just ROCKED my Halloween WORLD with your ice chiller effect!!!! *off to make my own* heehee

Fog chiller + curtain = cool creepy walkway for your yard haunt.

I'm a photographer - this video is really useful. Thanks!
FOR YOUR HEALTH!!!
I just got a fog machine for my photography business can't wait to use it
hmmmmm, a doctor would normally say thanks for your HEALTH not a photographer.
I'm a doctor and I've never said that in my life.
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.
That is a great observation, thank for that!
Thanks man.....I had no idea how to keep the fog down low......very cool effect!!

One of the best at home fog effect videos ive seen.
Thanks so much for this! I love the ice cooler idea. I'm going to use this for my graveyard scene for Halloween.
Thank you! Very smart.. simple.. kind of you to share ... and informative.. This has saved me so much time and energy and money ! You are the man :)

I’m just chilling with my foot in a bath of vinegar and I was thinking “fog machines” and now I’m on this video
Get back to me when the slightest breeze is around
2:55 That dog is hilarious
Yes his dog stole the show.

Are you using a 1000 watt fog machine?
Very Informative, but how did you build your Fog Chiller? I really loved your flow
Really...the hot fog travelling through ice gets cold? Who would have thought? AND the reason the fog hugs the ground after cooling {and is denser) is due to Charles law, which states: "for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, assuming in a closed system."

And it's not a fucking gas it's a vapour idiot
Wow, that is awesome, but I am more impressed with your cgi/animatronic dog, you have talent.
Very good info! Thanks. However, I recommend that you use a different camera or just set that one on a tripod. Pretty much the entire video was out of focus and way to jittery.
lol "it's peaceful, it's not spooky." Nice one!
These tips are gonna be very helpful with my photography thank you very much.
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
Very helpful - well done with your brief descriptions and quick demonstrations.
Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to show us these fog techniques... I noticed that you created an S shape elbow on your PVC pipe "Fog Blanket" set-up, I was wondering why. If the pipe was simply straight, would it affect the outcome?
to adjust to the height difference of the machine & it works on uneven surfaces bc you can adjust it and angle it
......great video....thanks for the info!!!!.....👍👍👍
Awesome video and can't wait to try all the effects.
great fog video. Thanks for the ideas and explanation on how they work
3rd is my fav too:O
Great job you've been a big help
On the vent setup if you throw some frozen water bottles inside the orange tube you will get a great low lying fog.
It's great you combined all your findings into one video :
I just happened upon your video. OMG it is so thorough and easy to understand. Thank you so much!
Very good great job
The cooler idea I like how is it made. Looks like a metal Coleman ice chest is that correct. How do you make that. I would like to make one for my wife's cemetery thanks
thank´s for this amazing demonstration
One question
I can't see the other side of the cooler, is there another hole?
You are a fog genius.🙌
I love it man the whole back yard is foggy
5:14 thats what she said ;)
hahahahaha
Cool Demo!! Good information for the uninitiated like me.
Hi , my name is Dan . I'm a DJ in Montreal . I like your ide about the ice cooler for low lying fog ... Can you send me instructions on how you modified the cooler for this effect , bot the intake and output ...Thanks

Very great ! thanks
Very cool. Great demos !
AWESOME NUMBER THREE IS THE BEST! I WILL BE DOING THIS ONE FOR MY CEMETERY!!!! THANKS FOR THE TIPS SO WORTH WATCHING.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Great video. Thanks for innovative ideas!
What are the specifications of the fog machine used in the video?
Hell yeah brother.
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.
The dog at 3:07, lol....
Good video - Thanks
Great video. Could have been a little more focused and less rambling, but the info was worth entertainment. Dog effects great also.

Great ideas for our haunted house! Thanks!
Instead of leaving the air gap, couldn't your drill a hole at the inlet of the pvc so air gets pulled in with the fog?
excellent vid! this will do nicely for my purposes
I came for the fog but couldn't help but watch the dog lol
very cool thanks

Nice vid dog was cracking me up.
Will this set off fire alarm?
want to do a chiller with a low slotted output.
yes
Great video thanks so much.
Did you ever try propylene glycol and glycerin 50/50 mix for fog juice with a chiller? I'm doing a diy chiller with that for Halloween 🎃
Awesome sadly Halloween is bout 3 months away I'm excited so doing all of this thank you so much oh and I subscribed
Lol the dog in the back
At least your dog is having a good time....lol
Can you cool the fog curtain and have it cascade down from above ? Indoor usage. We do want to walk thru it
This was really helpful, thanks bro.
