I wouldn't go that far but thank you!! I am going to get a complete build thread going at halloweenforum.com but it will probably be after Halloween. There is too much to do right now!!! Happy Halloween!!!
I don't have any tutorials per se but I have a couple of build threads going here and there. www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/190066-fogscreen-ii-electric-boogaloo.html and a lesser informative one here: www.photonlexicon.com/forums/showthread.php/25850-Fogscreen-II-Electric-Boogaloo! They aren't easy to build but they are not impossible to build either. They require time and patience depending on the route you take for building them (straw honeycomb or prefabbed honeycomb).
I hope you are still monitoring comments. I want to build the new screen design with the misters but my vision is poor. I can't see how you are moving mist into the fog chamber.
What about the fan speed ? Are you making the center fan running faster than the exterior ? Or just having a larger mass moving be better.. Like could you had better result with larger fan, like 140mm vs 120 ? Thanks
The fan speeds are variable. The center fans are variable, independent of the outer fans. The reason is because the speed of the center fans controls how dense the fog is in the screen e.g. more dense increases the opacity and vice-versa. I use a DMX controller to adjust the speeds. The outer fan speed affects a few things. It counteracts the effects from the surround air movement (wind and such). It also affects the look of the fogscreen. A slow moving air mass makes it look like a smokey waterfall. Faster makes it more of a solid sheet. For the diameter of the fans, I think makes sense to have more smaller-diameter fans than fewer larger ones. More sources acts more like a laminar air mass which makes smoothing the air easier. Even using 24 fans, I have to filter a lot before the air even enters the honeycomb. I use window screen and fiberglass A/C filter to smooth it out. There is a caveat to smaller fans though. Smaller fans need a higher RPM to achieve the same volume of airflow. Higher RPM means more noise and more turbulent air. The 120mm is probably right in the sweet spot. Keep in mind, I am not an engineer so, I may be incorrect. I am speaking from a point of experience, not education! I really appreciate your questions. You have a good understanding of what is going on here! It's refreshing! I appreciate all the comments I receive but yours is not just "Tell me how to make this."
@@absolom7691 hehe How you made this ? hehe. I've order 1 10x and 2x 6x diffuser block. And for the control. I plan to used a esp8266 to remote control from a phone. And on the android just adjust 2 slider for inner and outter speed , with a diffuser on/off. I will do the on-off via an ssr. The real ssr Crydom, not the cheap chinese one, as the internal resistance is what is needed and Crydom is low. And i will do a bottom unit, like more your first unit. I might go directly and build the whole thing in fiberglass/ to cut weight at same time and get proper shape. Thanks for the explanation on the 'outer' air effect.
@@absolom7691 Hi So actually, i did order couple of 253cfm fan of 1.41 air pressure. highest on both value. But i haven't think of the controll speed. How do you control those 4 pin pwm fan ? As being more powerfull, it need a bigger controller, but how to know the difference with a light ctrl.. Do you have a pwm ctrl that is plug to your dmx or a dmx handle that all... for fan running at 48v. I might found something like this perhaps ? : www.aliexpress.com/item/32812744457.html thanks again.
Very great! And as from your version 1 with 5-6 single unit fogger.. Is those can be enought or the unit with multiple piezo are still the best approach ? I was planning for one, but a floor version. Can it give the same end result or because you hang it at ceeling you need 'more' fog ? Thanks
The reason the multi-transducer units are better is because per piezo, the price is probably cheaper but the other reason is cable management. One cable per 6 piezos... Which isn't bad. Also PSUs. Unless you plan on using a large PSU to drive all the single units, you'll have however many wall warts as piezos... The bigger units were just easier. Good luck on your project!

Hope this helps!
Thank you! Surprisingly, only two iterations. The first one was built out of wood, using drinking straws. This one is primarily out of aluminum with an aluminum honeycomb. To be honest, there really isn't a lot to these. I'm not an engineer or anything like that and if I can build these, anyone could!

I need to put this in the description video description! My build thread for this fogscreen can be found here: www.halloweenforum.com/threads/fogscreen-ii-electric-boogaloo.190066/ It's only a general build thread. I don't provide specifics or detailed information because it's not supposed to be a "how-to" thread but is shows how everything was done.
I apologize but don't send out designs. You can see the build here though: www.halloweenforum.com/threads/fogscreen-ii-electric-boogaloo.190066/#post-2375562 .
Outstanding. Better than any “pro” fog screen Imagery I’ve seen. Well done.

absolom7691 Awesome. You too!!!
@@absolom7691 How bout this year? lol
One word. Yu-gi-oh
Imagine falling asleep in you room then waking up seeing one these hologram 😂😂😂🤣
Oh yeah definitely gonna play dark souls with this method
This is awesome, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your comment!!
Amazing 🤩
Any tutorials you could recommend for the did fogscreen, I'm an art student and would love to work with this setup

absolom7691 awesome thanks for the reply
how did you make it? like to use this effect for a shot in a movie im filming soon,thanks

can you please make a video on how to make it?

This is fabulous. I’m planning on building one this season. Not a video expert though. Are you able to share the source content?

so how did you create this fog screen? been wanting to do this for the kiddos

Is that a transparent sequence?
Hi, which Halloween video did you use? Where is possible to find it?

Thanks a lot!
can you tell me how did you do that ????
Awesome bro it's made in Hollywood movie like ghost but I can't find it movie name but not in fog they made it smoke is it know you which movie is it
Awesome! You're the internet king of fog screens. How many iterations have you gone through?

what was the type of air you used to project the video
mist, water intensifies light great
Where did you ger the footage

You don't show how you did it

HOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW! do you have blue prints?! Or anything?
I don't have anything available but you can see it being built here: www.halloweenforum.com/threads/fogscreen-ii-electric-boogaloo.190066/
can you send me a design or something
