Fog and Mist

[Luis Otero]

Hey,

I need to know were I can buy mist cans. I heard they are great solutions to avoid fog machines. Any help will be greatly appreciated! :help:

Luis,

Why wouldn't you want to use a fog machine? Is there an advantage to using mist cans?!?!

Luis,

I never have use them, but I have been told that the two main advantages are better control of amount of fog and spill, and is more "friendly" for the talent.:unsure:

Are you trying to fog a room, or a haze it? Is it outside or inside??

If it's inside you can get a hazer, which just adds a nice diluted atmosphere effect. If you're outside you can burn walnut grindings in film cans on the ground (hiding behind things in shot).

So, can you point me out where I ca find a hazer? Thank for the advise!
