    Do you prefer using FOG or HAZE?

      I prefer haze.
      Would love to see a video about the extra little things that can be done to lights such as skirting a light. I believe Justin mentioned, "diapered it off" stuff like that and how they effect the light!

    A tip that i got, that might help someone else out is if you have a cheap smoke machine but wsnt haze, mix your smoke liquid with 10-50% distilled water and put a fan in front of the machine (helps to break it up, and a lot of haze machines have a fan at the end).
    Used this a lot in a pinch and works great

    You should do a video on the overuse of haze in movies. I just watched "Mary Poppins Returns" and every scene, indoors and outside, has some sort of haze. It's one of my pet peeves especially when it is not needed or overdone.

    not sure if you've already done this video. but a great quick video would just be using different lenses at different distances and angles showings us the differences between wide and long lenses. like using a long lens from far away over the shoulder makes us feel like were spying and the difference of that shot vs a wide lens close up.

    What happened to the moonlight after turning the 300d on.. wasted your time and energy.. should have reversed the lighting setup.. instead of 120s for moonlight 300d.. and instead of overhead 300d a 120.
    If you really needed that moonlight..that you end up jeopardising.

    If you want haze, but you only have a smoke machine, rent a haze machine. Or you will be wasting a lot of precious time on set to get the smoke right. Don't follow into false economy advises. They are not as expensive to hire, and will make your films much better. Smoke machine are more for FX, Haze for atmosphere.
