Curious which smoke grenades you're using here...have an affiliate link I can use to give you guys the credit?

[azdigbee]

Tried it but anywhere you do it - seems the cops show up and harass you about "illegal" or "permit" "fire danger" crap 😤

Those are smoke grenades used in Airsoft and paintball we have been doing photos and videos for years like this but your wife is really good at making the smoke look like its dancing around her and never seen photos come out so good 👍

Can we breathe this colored smoke ? It isn't toxic? And about clothes, does that stain ? Thanks

Hi.Science Filmmaking Tips.
Excellent scenes with the video and the photographs.
Great use of the reflector, lamps and lighting.
I manufacture special smoke pumps for photography and video.
In search of photographers, cameramen, including short films, to understand the motive of some scenes with these products, it is difficult to find. The effects and pumps are manufactured for indoor and outdoor scenes.
I have different needs, long duration, medium duration, short duration, low intensity, medium intensity, high intensity. many intense colors, even in pantone tone, I count a palette of colors for more options.
I also make special effects, colored lights, flashes of colors, flashing lights (strobe type), sparks, different effects to combine with the bombs or just between them.
I hope that some day you will know my products and you can try them yourselves.
Thank you .
Greetings.

Where can I purchase the smoke grenades? Does anyone have a link?

[oskargebel]

In Germany, there is a good seller on Amazon. I will definitely try it!

Hi can I just ask did they stain the wedding dress at all, many thanks

"Just to see what will happen" LMAO

This is super cool, did you ever try it with a smoke machine? Was there a reason to do grenades over a machine with coloured fogs/smokes? I'd imagine on a nice still night with a long exposure you certainly could do a really cool creeper shot. Sets that I've worked on we never used grenades, sounds fun though! :-)
