Special Effects: Smoke Tube of Death - Photography & Video Tutorial
Вставка

- From Jay P Morgan,
Today on The Slanted Lens we are going to show you how to make a smoke Tube of Death and then how to use it in our Cemetery Grave Digger shot. We will look at the camera settings and lighting we used to create our image. Finally, we will show how we created a low angle look from inside the grave. In our image we are going to want smoke all over the grave yard and be able to place it where we want it. A single source smoker emits from one place but a smoke Tube of Death allows us to place smoke in specific places. We brought in tomb stones for the shot which were placed in our back yard. The Tube of Death wove throughout the stones and created a curtain of smoke behind the scene.

The only way that from-inside-the-grave shot could have been cooler would have been to put a sheet of transparent plexi over the top and get a shot of him with the lantern by his feet, with him tossing a shovel of dirt "on" you.
This one has to be my favorite of all your tutorials, for those images alone. :)
Love the smoke tube of Death, I will have to try that out. That chill box is really slick too.
I like that low angle shot inside the grave.
Great video, Jay! I love the idea for the smoke tube of death, I'm going to use it this Halloween with my smoke chiller. Always look forward to your videos, thanks for making them!
Great photos love the grave shot,excellent video
Very cool! You have become one of the most definitive photography sites on youtube.
Wonderful, it's perfect. Great lighting, fog, and I'm sure the old timers would say, wow! Thanks!
I watch this at least once a week. It's my fav video you have done.
wowie! that's awesome to hear, thank you for watching!
Hey Thanks for following us. We love making the videos. Any topics you want to see?
Very creative use of lighting and gig machines! Great tutorial!
The shots from the "grave" we're great!
Great stuff!
One of my favorite shoots on your channel; the cinematic effects are awesome! :)
+pscully1969 Thanks so much!
Impressive work, like always! This would be so much fun and it's done with good solid photography that isn't easy to replicate.
i've been wanted to do a VERY similiar shoot and this video just gave me the motivation and ideas to get it done. I created my chill box for my smoke machine, got access to a cemetery that will allow me to use their grounds and my model! we shoot aug 31st!
very cool idea. I'll have to try this closer to Halloween.
Great video and fantastic shots. Thanks for sharing.
i will say this..... that was bad ass. I am gonna try a few ideas from that vid. Thanks
Brilliant, very creative.

Now this is a freaking awesome tutorial, thanks Jay!!
You are the master man! I love your videos.... greetings from Peru.
Really love the from the grave ones!
That grave digger looks really great! ;)
Awesome results! great vid. Thanks for share!
Awesome as always!
No Problem. Go for it!
very cool thanks so much for sharing
Amazing work, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
That was fantastic!
Excellent Photography Techniqus
Gave me the idea to use both in once. chill the smoke trough the smoke tube and it would make a perfect sea shore upcoming mist (cause now you can give it a direction instead of let it fall and spread out it will come from left to right in a deeper span) and use a heater tube on shore so the mist will rise up again. and then maybe a evil mermaid ore other sea monster coming out ore going in to the sea water.
Enjoyed the vid's
super work
LIKED for the "smoke tube of death". cool idea
+Hoan Lee Thanks Hoan!

Totally Awesome!!!
Glad you think so! Some great pointers for Sci-fi or Halloween!
Absolute fantastic!!!
Great video, I really need to have a go at this!
nice tutorial
Thank you
Hi. First I want to say I love your videos. They are actually so helpful and inspires me to try things like this at home. I just had one question for you. With all those lights and gels on set how are you adjusting the white balance?
Kewl JP. Getting prepared for a graveyard environmental in a couple weeks.
That should be really fun, Jason! Good luck with it!
Is there "smoke in a can" you can buy? A simple aerosol thing for small jobs?
thanks for sharing
Excellent video thanks for posting
RaNdmRoK You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching
Good!!!
Amazingly inspiring :D
Please share what BRAND 'PISTOL GRIP' you're working with to manipulate your camera. Thank you. I enjoyed watching your video.
Just wow!
was wondering why tamron 24-70?
right on
hey jp.. i would like to know where you got these plastic tombstones..
thanks
nice........................
Darn. Just finished up shooting a lot of woods stuff that I wanted to have fog that looked like this. We got okay results but I wished I had seen this earlier.
Dan Francis Shooting with fog in an outdoor location is always tricky. I just did one last week and it was a struggle. Hope you were able to learn something from this tutorial for your next shoot.
Sos un capo
so fuckin dope
I am gonna try this.
Raymond Isbill Awesome, it is getting to be that time of year for this sort of shoot. Good luck.
Thanks. The biggest issue i have had in the past is with the smoke getting too dense and you just get a bright blob instead of wispy smoke/fog.
You might be using the wrong type of fluid with your fogger, or just need to fan it a little more. I did a comparison of three different kinds from Rosco in this tutorial: Continuous Three Light Setup with Special Effects Lighting - Photography & Video Tutorial . Hope that helps.
Jay P Morgan, Would you mind telling us what kind of companies want these kind of pictures... What product/service are these pictures marketing... What's the income in shooting such pictures...
Can you tell us where, exactly, you got the Disposable Duct Tube plastic roll and the squirrel cage fan? "Home Improvement stores" are yielding no results for either and online sources are shockingly more expensive than seems necessary.
What size / HP squirrel cage motor did you use? Thanks so much in advance
It is a small one horse power motor from Granger.
Do not cut into smoke tube, you run the chance of having the small hole turning into a large once. Simply use your propane torch to melt small holes in it, now if you want to close the hole, just shove a empty small disposable water bottle into the hole, I’ve even went as far as cutting slots in one side of the bottle making a directional nozzle, pull it and put a cap back on it and it’s now closed. Once the tube runs for a while it will get slimy and tape will not stick
hey rob, thanks for your insight!
I wish you would have used me on this one also!!! :-(
people watching this remember that most fog machines will create a lot of heat and will melt plastic tubes so start with a metal one to dissipate the heat
Great thought. The nozzle of the smoker is very hot. You either need air around it in the transition or a metal pipe.
Not the AE-1!!!
I've just "found you" and I am so excited! I have purchased some smoke bombs and I want to play with kids & skateboards, "Hot Babes in Stilletos" and some Bad Bikers and all the smoke. Think the smoke bombs will be cool enough to place inside the tube once it is inflated? at $25 per bomb (Enola Gaye www.enolagaye.com/cool-cold-burn-smoke-grenade/) I can't waste to many figuring this one out. I think I would rig a cage to prevent contact with the plastic. Thank You for all these terrific videos! Learning a ton!
