My apologies if I am asking stupid questions. I am fairly new to all this and never bothered looking into fog machine’s safety topics as I was mislead by the term water-based and most sources speak of “harmless”. Ironically I avoided oil based for the same reason, thinking it must be bad. But if...

I am sorry but I am not familiar with those terms. USP? Japanese grade? I read the Rosco evaluation on health effects. But it doesn’t help in my case. I read oil based juice is made from mineral oil. Are they all food grade? If not what are they? Especially the ones from Antari. I worry a bit...

So I was using water-based almost daily to test my setting. On New Year’s Eve I felt sick and It turned out it was a viral infection. After a week it cured but I got a bacterial infection in my lungs. It was treated with antibiotics but didn’t heal completely so I had to take more antibiotics...

Thanks for your interest. I am now working on the Patreon integration so that when someone becomes a Patreon my light situation will change. It’s a mix of Streamlabs OBS and DMX lights. I am using DasLight to control the lights with a midi pedal which is controlling the vocal sound effects at...

haha, aye matey,Yeah that parrot.... A friend of mine is making animal puppets which look super real. I might ask her. But the. I also need a cage which are not easy to cheaply come buy here in Japan. Already had bought some sticks to try and make one myself, but I kinda put that aside. I am...

I start to feel happy with this. This could be a candidate. My close up shot works pretty well with this light set up too. I did not wear a shirt so I hesitated to post it :)for the close up shop I wanted the spotlight behind me which is then visible in the wide shot. I am thinking how explain...

yes Macsound, I am still trying to find the best angles. It’s tricky as I want to have 2-3 angles with the light working in all of them. Plus because I don’t want to put my monitor on the desk I was thinking to have the voodoo corner where I would go to show stuff on the PC. In the future I want...

Thanks, I am using a camera with two native ISO one at 400 and one at 1250. I did indeed stop down and could easily use ISO 400 if I open my lens. I do want high depth of field in the wide shot and low depth of field in the close up shot. So there I am using an ND filter. Will experiment a bit...

Today I tried the Dedolight 400D ( daylight) . I put it outside and got a satisfying result! for this test I did set my camera to 10000k ( liked the warmth of the tungsten desklamp The dedo400 is 6000k. Is that the reason why the window illumination turns greenish? Or is it indeed the slight...

i am thinking how to do it. I once had the idea of using my old video projector but quickly discarded the idea :)

thanks a bunch! This forum is pure gold :)

Haha

ThWow this is getting very interesting for me now. Thanks so much. As I am totally new to real lighting, I am still confused ( probably over complicating things) about this whole matching temperature topic. I have read it a hundred times and although I understand I should avoid mixing...

Hey folks,a little update. I did make the windows more medieval as I didn’t like the Japanese style windows. Overall there is still a lot to do especially with the side-walls.The light is pretty bad and in the photo above I used too much fog. Still wondering how to maintain an even haze...

Any chance to move the whole thread over?
