Snow, not risotto
Sat, 18 Aug 2001, 10:53 pmDoes anyone out there know where I can get hold of fake snow, you know the type they use in shopping centre christmas displays, the kind that sticks to you and your still finding the stuff on your clothes until the next christmas. Well thats the cheap and nasty version I guess, but any version will do.
Any ideas. Needed within the week.

RE: Snow, not risotto
Mon, 20 Aug 2001, 01:43 pmMany years ago I used to make artificial snow using a CIG bottle of liquid CO2, hospital grade as it had a tube that ran down to the bottom of the cyclinder so that liquid CO2 came out and not the gas, and fed that through a bunsen burner nozzle with a large gas flame size. The end effect was snow flakes made by the liquid CO2 causing the air vapours freezing and coming down as seperate flakes. It is a noisy process but I was using it for effects lighting for bands so we had something coming down. Usually used with a high powered strobe or chasers.
It wont work for dressing a set and we did not have OS&H in those days (mid 70's in Newcastle).
What about the spray cans of snow used for xmas decorations or do you need a snow drift?
Connections magazine Nov 1997 had fog machines reviewed but I cant access it with my web browser.
Oswald Sealy Visual Concepts used to supply an artificial snow but don't anymore. It was made by shedding soft plastic bags, crumpled to look like snow.
