Finally after all those years. I found Gavin.
Really liked the light blaster when rays went through her arms.
Just hearing the sound of Gavin's voice saying "In this video..." fills me up with anticipation. This session is mind blowing as usual. Thanks Gavin for this. Appreciate it :)
Great tutorial, as always. The model is gorgeous and looks like she have an on and off switch.. Hahaha! She knows her stuff well. Very impressed.
I've worked with Meg both as a model and photographer. What a professional
Another great tutorial and good advice on the smoke solution types. Love the way that Meg just 'turns on' the modelling - excellent work!

Thank you Gavin for the tricks and tips brother. I needed something fresh to work on. Appreciate what you are doing everyday. Take care...I am always watching...lol
Brilliant as always and a beautiful model too! I bought a small smoke machine for my own " small home studio " but I've yet to try it out. I didn't realise there were different smoke types, I'll have to stock up on the various fluids 😊

Awesome video. I’ve done some smoke shoots, but not with a model yet. And I’ve been trying to figure out how to get light rays. That light blaster is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Awesome totally....

Gavin ur creative person & great teacher
Great teaching video. I just started shooting smoke today. I had about a 30% success rate. So, I went to the University of RUclips and found your video. Great advice!!!!!! I will be using your info, hopefully, to great success soon.
More more and more 🤙🏼👏🏼

Круто спасибо за видео
Second best video on smoke! First one goes to Jason Lanier
Model wow :)
good as usual gavin do you not do any outside work now landscape etc
Great video Gavin, love your work. Although I'm a bit disappointed on the way the "Light Blaster" worked on your video. I just recently purchased one and could not get the results you achieved, had to return it.
Gavin, thanks for all the videos. Does the 1200 set off fire alarms?,
Gavin what flash star device did you use behind her it looked awesome. It was not the Savage starlight I have that device. You used some kind of star device that was on the flash unit behind her ?
Where could i find that second light??? Awesome looking
Love your videos. Would you ever consider doing a video that shows your "Small home studio"? I would love to have a home studio. If i did, it would for sure be a "SMALL home studio". I would love to see yours in detail.
Not done a video as there's really nothing else to see. My studio wall is at one end, my PC is at the other. Lots more details are here scottkelby.com/guest-blog-wednesday-featuring-gavin-hoey
Great video my friend, what was the name of the (light blaster?) accessory that lights the background? This video is just what I was looking for today, many thanks I loved it.

Great video Gavin with very useful tips. My home studio is also our TV/Living Room with soft furnishings, carpets and curtains. Does anyone know if these smoke machines leave a residue?
This type of smoke machine uses water based fog fluid and doesn't leave any residue.
I know this is an old video, but maybe Gavin will still see the comment - I just acquired a fog machine and came acros this video - super content, and a great model! I have a LightBlaster and tried it with the fog, but couldn't get the sharpness of the lines you got Gavin. I was using a 3D printed gobo which has good edges that projects well onto a background. 50mm 1.8 lens wide open. I tried varying the focus distance on the lens but didn't see a lot of diference. Am I missing something?
I have that one
What were those 2 lights you were using towards the end of the video??
where can we get those led light in the background?
I want try a this, but diy, flash and colander/sive ....
Gavin which light blaster kit is that light from ?
I am curious on where you got your light blaster and if that is the actual name of the light? Thank you.
@thegavinhoey - Great video. I do have a question, the first set you indicated that CO2 was being used but it looks like she is using the Hurricane 1200 Fog Machine for all 3. I understand about the light and heavy fluids but how do you setup the Hurricane 1200 for CO2? Thanks.
It's CO2 effect smoke, not real CO2 )which is VERY hard to come by in the UK). It's called various names as mentioned at 2:28 :)
what you gave in front of the backlight at 5:05? Is it a gobo?
What was the last light modifier you used?
Where can we get that light blaster???
What was the name of the LED light you used? I can not find it anywhere.
Gavin, thanks for that video. I wanted to have a go at using a smoke machine in our work / office studio. Was told by our landlords NO as they were unsure if smoke alarms would be affected. Any idea on this ??
I took professional advice on this a few years back. The upshot was it probably won't set off most domestic smoke alarms but might set off optically triggered detectors.
Great as always, I make my own fog fluid so much cheaper.( ask if you not know how to make it) One point is to watch out if you have Smoke Alarms.... I found out the hard way LOL..
Hi Chaz. From my non-scientific experiments, different smoke machines and different smoke fluids have very different effects on household smoke alarms. Some set them off, others don't.
Hello, what kind of modificator you used behind the model?
here is a daft question - could you have someone vaping behind the model and backlit to produce the same effect?
which portable power supply do you need to run this outdoors?
great! i will do this for Interviews
Can you post a link to the light blaster adapter you used?
Joseph D'Anthony Here you go :) www.adorama.com/sglb.html
Hi what is the liquid that are suitable to this machine ?
For the problem of focusing with a lot of smoke, wouldn't it be easier to use a manual lens, with no autofocus at all, while staying at the same distance from the subject?
It might if you're happy to do so, my eye sight isn't that good ;)
Hi Gavin what’s the size of your studio
Very hot model!
Plzz add editing part also
