DRY ICE + LOW FOG

Dry ice special effects are often called for but seldom asked for, especially in shots for low fog for movies and tv.

Machines for Low Fog: JEM Glaciator and Look Solutions Cryo-Fog
Low Fog Machines: JEM & Cryo-Fog

When we create these low fog effects we occasionally use our aging Londoner and Pea Souper machines, but we often prefer to hire in other machines. We favour the JEM Glaciator, a self contained unit that supercools smoke vapour to create a low fog, or the Look Solutions Cryo-Fog which uses Liquid CO2. Both create great looking but slightly differing results, and are extremely practical and cost-effective over traditional dry ice.

For an example, see Sade’s video of ‘Soldier of Love’ where we used the JEM to create a dry ice effect that dissipated as the camera tracked across to reveal Sade!
