Hey, all! I'm doing Seussical this year for our fall musical, and have picked up a couple of fun effect lights for the show. Now I'm looking at picking up a hazer so the beams of light can be seen. Normally, if I was doing a DJ gig or a rock show, I'd just use a fog machine and disperse it with a fan. Unfortunately, for like theatre, the hissssss from the fog machine would not be functional. So I'm looking for a proper hazer, but there are so many to choose from, and my budget is pretty much nil. I have heard about DIY oil based hazers, but I've also read a few places that claim the oil fog is unhealthy. Your thoughts and/or experience would be extremely helpful! |

Why not use dryice in water & fan away the fog.
However unlike smoke, the fog will find the lowest level.
I have used this from a fly floor to great effect.
Further here in ocker Land, the Australian Opera have restrictions on using cracked oil smoke machines.
Disclaimer - Always handle dry ice using gloves & with care. as it is not a workers play thing.  ------------- [western] Gondawandaland "Hear the light & see the sound! TOI TOI CHOOKAS {may you always play to a full house!} |
