Hi, I just wanted to see if there were any good tips for making a room hazy / musty so that it appears dusty and stale and also so that light coming in through windows will create slashes in the atmosphere...
Better than a Fog Machine is a Haze Machine... but they're more expensive. A Fog machine tends to give a "smoke" look, not the hazy look you seem to be after. You end up having to pump a lot of fog in and then break it up, and then pump some more, and then break it up... and on, and on. Haze Machine puts out a fine haze that allows the light beams to show up nicely.
