Hey guys,

not getting enough hits on my thread so i figured I would get a much better attendance and support here.

Plz throw in your two cents. I just really need something affordable and that will get the job done. I suggested one model and have yet to get any responses to my original post.

thanks!
 
I thought you got some pretty good information? Maybe no one responded to the model you're looking at because no one has used it...might be an answer in itself?

I'd still suggest a cheap fog machine ($40.00), test it out and if you can't get the effect you're looking for, sell it to a local band!
 
Forget the Fazer. It´s a cheap fog machine with a fan. A bit better than a fog machine alone but you will hate it pretty soon. Believe me. Bin there done that.

If you want a real hazer you got to fork out about $1000 for a Le Maitre’s New Radiance Haze Machine.

My advice is:
For small rooms haze out of a spray can.
For larger rooms, longer shooting and outdoor. SAFEX Smoke powder.
Cheap, longer lasting, good looking, good mileage.
Lot´s of film productions use the smoke powder today.
Try it out. I bet you love it.

Same company, different product.

I know only a place here in Germany where I can get it.
Don´t know where you live, but google my be your friend.

Is there any residue from these products, whether it be the canned stuff or a hazer/fog machine? A couple of locations I'd like to shoot in, it'd be sketchy enough fogging the place up if someone saw me, but if I could get away with it with no traces that's a different story.
 
Depending on the amount of smoke that you put out and the quality of the fog liquid used, you may end up with a thin oily layer noticeable to the touch. But to get to that point you have to put out lots of smoke. To get that effect I had to fill a whole room to the point of not seing the walls of the room (15sqm room). anyway, if you are going to use lots of smoke ask for permission, because even if you don't leave traces someone may see smoke and call the firemen, and that has happened before....
 
Canned haze works great, depending on how many shots... and how long you want it to last... plus, you gotta' turn off the heat/AC and keep the set closed, or you'll quickly lose the haze you just put up. (1) 12oz can will haze up a 20' x 16' room a few times.

It's kind of expensive as an expendable... but it's a lot cheap than a real haze machine... which, if I shot as much as I do sound... I'd buy in a heartbeat. Haze is another great difference between amateur and cinematic... and you can use a little or a lot. If you shoot a lot of narrative stuff... man, I'd have a machine as a permanent part of your kit.

Does canned haze leave any oily residue at all?
