    GamFuel alternatives

    I did! They work exactly like the GAM fuel, they're just slightly smaller. So I used 2 of them in 1 torch and it gives the same torch flame you're looking to accomplish. I recommend it as an alternative for anyone who still use GAM torches but can't find any GAM Fuel anymore. These Weber...

    flying scenery vertical AND horizontal

    I'm unsure what you mean by spot lines. Are you referring to the handline you'd use for a traveller type curtain rig?

    flying scenery vertical AND horizontal

    Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster.We have a production coming up in a few months where we will need to fly a couple of clouds side to side as well as up and down. I've been involved on the flyrail in a production where we've had this effect before, but I was not part of the...
