A Precision Battery Fog Machine
SmokeGENIE mini fog machine is not only the first pocket-sized handheld hazer, it is also the first portable haze machine that allows precision hazing.
SmokeGENIE is a battery hazer and is lightweight enough to easily operate one-handed. What’s more, thanks to its coil-based technology, the SmokeGENIE small fog machine can produce a large amount of haze with ZERO boiling time.
Combining those 2 features, SmokeGENIE portable hazer can create haze precisely where you need it, when you need it. Not just hazing up a whole room, now you have the option to just haze up the background (so it will not cover the actors’ faces), just the foreground, just part of the room, and even top/bottom of the scene. With the SmokeGENIE mini haze machine, it is all under your control.
When we researched about who usually handles the haze on set, is it the light designer? prop designer? art director? or perhaps the set designer? Ironically, the answer is - whoever is unlucky. If you have worked with large or small hazers on set, you will understand the pressure. Each adjustment can take 15-20 minutes to show, the haze keeps changing, and it just takes forever to get right. The pressure is enormous when everyone on set is ready to go, just waiting for you to haze up the set.
When we first introduced the SmokeGENIE mini hazer to film sets in Hong Kong, not only the crew were impressed, but because our SmokeGENIE handheld haze machine is so effective and intuitive to use, that the directors often ask if they can handle this portable fog machine themselves and create the scene. It is always difficult to communicate the exact level of haze directors wanted, and there is just no better haze reference than the scene created by the director.
