Fiona Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Anyone know of some kind of smoke pellet that can be held by an actor to look as if their hand is smoking......sure I have heard of something that would do this over the years, but can't think of what it was or how it works??Any takers??

Matt Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I have seen "smoke in a can" you can usually get it from party shops or maplins... dunno if that helps or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 have a look at some magic shop websites (cant think of any off hand) they somtimes have a smoke pellet that is dropped to produce smoke, if this is squeezed hard it doesd the same thing. out of interest, why do you want the hand to smoke?

Fiona Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 out of interest, why do you want the hand to smoke? Written in the script that one of the characters holds their hand over something and their hand starts to smoke.......director would really like it in the perf if possible - can't think of a way round it at the moment!!

Matt Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 have you ever had a chimney sweep around your house?they have a "smoke in a bottle" which they use to test the updraft of the chimney, what I was thinking you could do, is run a little tube from it to the wrist and then when the smoke is required have the bottle somewhere on the actors body where they can squeeze it without being seen???? only an idea... open to modifcations of course Matt.

Ben Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 if you can use the smoke in a bottle then you could just use a mini fogger and then you can operate it from the remote, less for the actors to do that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 "smoke in a bottle"I have used this before and it worked quite well (no budget so could not afford a better solution) but be aware of COSHH regulations regarding it. Some of these products contain some quite nasty chemicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
