[just.do.something]

you know it when you see it and feel it...

Thanks for this video. It was great to see how worked with the haze before the shot. Two questions: 1) what is that Beamer light? That changes colors with music? And 2) how does fog compare to the haze?

That was fantastic, man! Funny, this morning there was some natural haze, the sun was out and there were some horses in front of my property with the sunlight behind and that natural haze... so I came back from my daughter school, grab my camera and went out to film... when I finished I realized I hadn't attached the cable from the camera to my T5 😭. That's why having the cfast card inside helps a lot! Thanks brother! great video as always!

Nice video and great visuals! What was the "beamer" you were referencing towards the end? Is that a projector or something similar?

[SteveEdmondsTV]

Could you elaborate on the "Beamer"?

[MariusIhlar]

This look AWESOME! I'm gonna buy a hazer now. Are you happy with this one?

[Dudekay]

Love this Sjoerd! I bought a projector last week for this exact type of shot :)

[AndreCorreaNow]

I'm sorry if this was already asked but what's a beamer? And, where do I get one? I love the effect it created. I really appreciate any help you can provide. Warm regards!

[hidraos]

Damn, now I need a hazer....it never ends!

[dankeykang]

Maybe I’m oversimplifying it, but to me, something cinematic looks intentional.

Nice video. Personally, with haze, I think less is more but again, cinematography should always serve the story. Hope to see more vids from you soon (:

Cool demo and 16:9 format for emphasis - effective music, too.👍 Thumbnail and multicolored effect in vid work well — like a third dimension. Ironic how digital vids are trying to create “cinnematic” look whereas current movies make heavy use of digital technologies to create effects and mood. Agree? IMO “cinnematic” means “retro” color, mood, perspective, and story w/live actors and little outlandish computer generated stuff. For occassional use, would dry ice/water “fog” generator work as well to get the haze effect? BTW, is Sjoerd a gourmet chef, too — at least an ace w/that knife😁.

what is that beam light called? looks stunning!

[joelarvidsson]

I'm looking to buy a hazer, but I heard that they don't use oil anymore due to its bad for the health. And slot seams to be using water based haze fluid. What are you using for haze fluid, nd what does it contain? Thanks for showing the brand of the hazer. This modell is a third of the price if those I looked at.
Also, I'm not a fan that oil leave resedu in set and gear.
