Joey Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Did any one else see the Fogscreen at plasa this year, made by Fogscreen Inc. Well I thought it was pretty impressive so I thought I would try find a price on it. I would say it was worth 15, 20 meby 30 grand but not much more than that. The Grand total is nothing short of 60,000! I couldn't believe it, I could by a small flat for that! Has the world gone mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert morley Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 What do you get for your cash? I don't think any effect is worth that.Besides it will probably go down in due course. (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I hope)I doubt the price will change much. There was nothing "software" in it, and a huuuge number of fans!! As far as I could see it was all mechanical, so the only potential savings will be in scale manufacturing, and at that price it is unlikely! I would have thought it was a bit uninspiring in a 2m effect, and you'd need several to make it really go WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The thought that sprang to my mind was how the hell do you focus on it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 I'm not convinced is that clear, I cant remember what it looked like at plasa but looking at that pic it looks pretty blurred to me. Also how much use is 2m x 2m! Good for things like musiums I suppose and small scale presentations things like that but for the stage (or atleast the productions that can afford it which are Large scale productions) Its way too small I think. I'm a big fan of all these effects that can make imaged float in mid air! Like what they did at the Olympic games in Athens with the DNA strand. I thought that was incredible. There is another fog screen out that can do a similar thing and comes in customisable sizes but I cant remember where I saw it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert morley Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 looking at the pic, you said the screen was blurred well so is the person in the background witch makes me think that it is photographers error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 The two people who aren't moving and the structure holding the device up aren't blurred. It's not a stunning picture, but that is what it looked like. Good for what it was, but as the OP writes "£60,000!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
