you could also glue a bunch of clear plastic round tree ornaments from the hobby lobby together and have them dangle down the ship! love your videos! totally awesome!
I bet you could further enhance the illusion of water by getting some buckets of water and putting an ultrasonic mist maker and an aquarium bubbler in them to create the effect of roiling and bubbling water in spots around your ship. Or you could hook up some pumps on a timer to go off and splash every now and then.
Those are some great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I’ve thought about using the misters in a future project for my witch section. But they could be great in Kraken’s Cove as well.
one way to cool the fog and have it lay low is by filling a plastic tub with dry ice. cut holes for the hose that are the same size as the hose somewhere on the tub, preferably the bottom. Make sure the holes you cut are on opposite sides and on the furthest ends of the plastic tub. cut the hose in half and attach both ends to the cooling box where you made your previous holes. Seal the ends and you should have thick low lying fog!
A good way to make your fog lay low and to the ground is by cooling it. There’s lots of videos on how to make cooling chambers and i think there are fog machines that have an option to cool the fog before it even leaves the machine! Id love to see how this turns out when you get the improved fog and lights!!!!
The two things I think could help sell the effect is to have the low lying fog (which you addressed in the video as this was just a test) and it appears to me that the spot lights are interfering with the laser. I was planning on doing something similar this year but my plan was to have a contractor fence around the area to contain the low lying fog some, have the spot lights on the outside lower than the fence to make sure it doesn't interefere with the laser, we will see how it actually works out though. in theory everything always works out.
That sounds like a solid plan. Let us know how it turns out. I was thinking about re-arranging the spot lights this year to help with the effect. We will see if it makes a difference.
Run the fog through a cooler filled with water, and have a 10 head water atomizer on floats inside the cooler. Works so much better than just a regular fog chiller. I even put two, one gallon plastic jugs that I filled with water and froze close to where the fog would exit which helped even more. But we all got to realize that wind is our greatest enemy.
The laser swamp effect is much more convincing if the laser is pointed in the direction of the observer (at low level so it won't blind anyone, usually knee to ankle level). If you point to laser away from the viewer, it washes out (it doesn't hide stuff that is "submerged"). Here's an example of what I mean: ruclips.net/video/IXwfq_PIwTg/видео.htmlsi=TeKLNvKJuYq9ZEqc

Hi! Do you have a picture of this? Very interested to know your technique. Thanks
You can buy fully perforated and semi perforated (one side) drain pipe

Hi do you have any pictures of this set up?
Where did you buy the laser? Can you drop a link?

Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely have to try this
Dress rehearsal.
