Haze In Spray Can

Published :

Hi,

Anyone familiar with haze in a spray can? What is your opinion?

Not considering it for filling up a ballroom or anything of that sort. Looking for a name or a supplier. If anyone knows where to find in Germany even better.

Don't know about Germany but I use it for various small effect on table tops and sometimes with people. Works great!

I recall the product is called 'Magican'. Not that impressive if you want any really dense haze, but okay for light diffusion.

Hi Walter,

Any chance on a name? I need a lead so I can do some research. Made some local calls but no success so far.

Thanks.

The stuff is called "Diffusion in a Can" (or the brand name of what I used was called that.

It has pretty good hang time - can't do a big room - it is NOT fog, more like light smoke.

Fairly colour neutral.

I vaguely remember that it uses a flammable propellant, so I think you do NOT want to use it in a campfire scene.

That's what I use. It has amazing hang time. As long as the air is still it stays there a long time. I'd use the word "haze" over "smoke". And a 20 ounce can will do a large area if need be, but it's best for small area effects. More like what an atomizer does in the end result.

Great. Appreciate the help. Thanks very much.

Sponsorship of CML

CML is maintained mainly by sponsorship, this sponsorship enables us to continue to grow and provide a continually expanding information service to all those involved in cinematography.

JPB of Aaton came up with the original suggestion of basing sponsorship on $1 per member per year. We have now outgrown this as we are too big now to justify this level of support and it's been fixed at $2,400 per year for the last 5 years.

For this a sponsor gets a logo on the web-site header which appears on all 3,000+ pages and a tag on every message posted via CML.

We sent out 33.4 million email messages in the last 12 months. They also get access to private mailing lists that we can set up for their specific requirements.

Our current sponsors are listed below please mail me if you want more info.
