      Thanks to the local fire department for telling you to do something dangerous and then tell them not to come in case of a deadly emergency. Then telling thousands of people to do the same... what happens if a fire breaks out over something else too ? Then what ? Screwed .

    Using the silver fabric was actually a pretty genius move. Not only does it improve the flame effects with the light reflections, but it's also kind of dark on the top, giving the illusion of smoke coming off the top of the fire. : )

    I’m an FX artist and worked for Imagineering for years and this is exactly how the fire effects in the pirate ride is created. The only difference is that they use a transparent plastic wrap, like Saran Wrap instead of curtains. That way the flames are also transparent, allowing props and walls to be see through the flame. Great job though with very good step by step instructions. I enjoy your channel. Try it with plastic wrap next time and see how it turns out. Just make sure the lights don’t contact the plastic because it will melt easily.

  • @russellchevalier3606
    @russellchevalier3606 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    Outstanding effect! Wish I’d have had this info a year ago when we were creating fire effect for a marching band show this would have saved hours of work.
    Suggestion, we use a fabric called Poly China Silk for our flags because of how it flows in the wind. It’s super cheap, about $2.50 a yd. and available in every imaginable color. It would be a flamin’ hot and affordable product for this application.

  • @bingbruce4865
    @bingbruce4865 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Light plastic sheeting like paint covers make for a good substitute cloth and you can see on the other side of flames for additional effect like timbers with glowing embers made with foil partly painted black to allow some of its crinkled surface to reflect the fire light. The plastic tricks the eyes into seeing a smoke filled room with burning timbers which will fluctuate with the dancing light.

    You guys are great! So detailed and precise. This worked well for me. I first tried with a backdrop instead of the silver fabric and that was a bust. I also tried with yellow bulb and that made it look sort of green/yellow. Lastly, I tried exactly as you said in this video and it worked really well. Thank you!

    That's very cool and looks 100% real. I would make one suggestion though, those fan motors are not really designed to be run in the vertical position, because they do not have the tapered type roller bearings to handle the vertical thrust since they're designed to be run only in the horizontal position. It will probably be fine, but I would keep an eye on that just in case. Keep up the great work.

    My local fire department actually saved my cat. I was 15 and I truly had no idea who to call he was way up there in the tree had been stuck two days. I just called the non emergency number to ask advice saying who would I call because the media suggests fire department for cats in trees lol. He laughed and said he understood. He said they had actually never done that before at his location and he's happy I called lol. He said well first just give him a few days and try to lure him down with food "his instincts to eat will override his fear, on the off chance it doesn't work call us Monday"... didn't work, they sent the new guy up the tree and his new nickname was catman lol. They were very kind. I'm sure they didn't have to by any means but they did. He wasn't coming down. I'd call him because he was yowling loud wanting down. When I'd call him and he'd realize I wanted him to come down he'd rub on the branches like ok nm didn't want down bad enough to do it myself lol.

      Sunnie DIY Don’t like the “wait several days” suggestion. Some areas have predators that can climb or fly. Owls, vultures, hawks, possums, raccoons, coyotes, cougars, and foxes, and feral cats can injury or kill the cat. If you didn’t have an a frame ladder than was y’all enough with level solid ground, you could have asked a neighbor for one or to hold a ladder, and then called the fire department for a non emergency if that didn’t work

      @@Maaad-maaan Where I was wasn't an issue, in the middle of town very few predators. Definitely none way way way up there that's the help he offered. None of our ladders went up that high and dad worked in construction. He was fine and it all worked out but I did try explaining to the fire chief that the cat most certainly wasn't coming down. I explained I had already offered food lol. That the cat kept calling panicked until he realized I expected him to come down on his own for it. Then he'd rub the branches. Like "No I'm just fine up here I changed my mind, I don't need down that badly".

      @@Maaad-maaan if cats miss too many meals - as in several days of not eating - they can develop fatty live disease. This can be fatal if not treated. So the suggestion to “wait several days” could have killed the cat! I;m glad it turned out for the better, but helpful reminder, make sure your cat is eating regular meals.

    Why not just roll the material over the curtain rod, and ducttape the material to itself, rather than the rod?
