Welcome to fog special effects, a microsite about fog and mist effects for film and tv. We create realistic fog, mist or smoke laden atmospheres with high pressure water mist, foggers, hazers and smoke machines. Mist and fog special effects are often described as atmosphere or atmospheric effects, and are almost always created by pushing smoke or haze particles into the air. We create general foggy and misty atmospheres inside or out using a variety of foggers and smoke machines produced by Look Solutions and Concept Engineering. Both companies manufacture (expensive) machines that produce exceptional results in almost every environment they’ve been worth every penny!
For Peter Weir’s epic The Way Back however, we developed our MEE system, to combine high pressure water mists with regular atmospheric effects to create something ‘extra’. It was used extensively in the interior mine set. Using filtered water pressurised to 1000psi, MEE creates a variety of mists and fog special effects by changing the droplet size, and it can be used standalone, without the need for other costly products.
