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 TH-cam 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!
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!!
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.
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!
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 👍👍👍👍
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_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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Great info I put A big EDM show on every 4th of July I would like to add lasers My stage is set up above the crowd I think that perforated pipe method would work Well with the laser show Would you recommend the regular fog or the thick one
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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. Truly awesome video. I am a photographer and I think this with the thick mist juice will do the trick. Question, I'm at the hardware store as I type, but....(hoping you can respond), on the fog CURTAIN...do you HAVE to have the PVC elbows? Can it be just 1 long straight tube?
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.
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 bought a smoke machine not too long ago, turns out it was made for large venue or outdoor use, was supplied with high density smoke fluid that took me 2 hours to get the smoke out my house.... It is a BEAMZ S2000 has rgb lights, dmx etc and a 530m3 per minute out put x.x

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 TH-cam elsewhere you fool quit tryna put people down cause you are a low life and not the man himself

Came for the FOG stayed for the DOG 😃 got distracted watching him play 😁💕
Dude, I could watch a whole video of your dog playing with that rope. Freaking adorable!
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 would do the fog blanket for the which

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.
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 👍👍👍👍
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
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.
Dude, you have just ROCKED my Halloween WORLD with your ice chiller effect!!!! *off to make my own* heehee
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!
Get back to me when the slightest breeze is around

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
One of the best at home fog effect videos ive seen.
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 !
......great video....thanks for the info!!!!.....👍👍👍
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!
Very Informative, but how did you build your Fog Chiller? I really loved your flow
great fog video. Thanks for the ideas and explanation on how they work
Your dog is just having the time of it's life.

Very helpful - well done with your brief descriptions and quick demonstrations.
Thank you!
Very cool. Great demos !
Very great ! thanks
Best damn fog video I've ever seen.
Good video - Thanks
You are a fog genius.🙌
AWESOME NUMBER THREE IS THE BEST! I WILL BE DOING THIS ONE FOR MY CEMETERY!!!! THANKS FOR THE TIPS SO WORTH WATCHING.... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
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.

One question
I can't see the other side of the cooler, is there another hole?
lol "it's peaceful, it's not spooky." Nice one!

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 🎃
If you take the fog blanket and the chiller then put the blanket above the doorway would the smoke fall down and cover the opening?
It's great you combined all your findings into one video :
Thanks for the great tips!
3rd is my fav too:O
Thank you for sharing this! This is awesome 👏
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.
Great tips, thanks!
For the fog chiller could you add dry ice to make it last longer?
I know it's an old video, but thanks for taking the time to do this. Awesome knowledge sharing.

Are you using a 1000 watt fog machine?
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
Good Video, what did you make your fog Chiller out of Thanks
Great video. Could have been a little more focused and less rambling, but the info was worth entertainment. Dog effects great also.
Can you cool the fog curtain and have it cascade down from above ? Indoor usage. We do want to walk thru it
My dude, great video.
Nice vid dog was cracking me up.
