I'm posting this here instead of in the special effects forums because to me it relates directly to lighting as that's why I'm using haze.
Like most shows, we run throughout the summer. And like most in the US and elsewhere, we're fighting a pretty strong heatwave right now which requires us to run the air conditioning and air exchange at all times, even on and above the stage.
This is creating an issue for our shows that use haze as the air exchange just sucks it straight up above the stage. I've pretty much had to keep the hazer running on full the entire show, but the effect isn't working out as it looks much more like smoke than haze since it's going straight up.
I'm sure other people have had to deal with this issue and was curious if anyone had any tips they might be able to pass along to help out in this situation.
Once it cools down outside we can turn the air over the stage off and that usually helps quite a bit, but that's just not an option right now with temps hitting 105+.
Thanks in advance.
