A Tube of Death can spread fog and haze evenly across a film set or send atmosphere climbing through a concert rig. The idea is simple, but airflow, condensation, wind, structural support and touring logistics are not. Explore how the system works, where it succeeds and what can go wrong.
After a long stretch in storage, your FX machines may need more than a quick dust-off. Join Sam and Ryan for a spring-cleaning rundown, from cords, vents and fluid lines to fogger, hazer and snow-machine maintenance, so every unit is ready to hit its cue.
Whether it's for Halloween, concert season, theater nights, or fire training, fog effects can make or break your event. Turn your idea for an effect into the result you want with Ryan's tips for choosing the right machine, fluid, and settings for the job.
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, BUT... you have options! Join Ryan for a quick tour of ionization, photoelectric, hybrid and heat detectors, plus practical ways to choose, position and test fog or haze effects without turning your show into a fire drill.
A perfect haze should make your lighting pop, not leave the room blotchy and damp. Join Vince and Ryan as they work through the winning combination of machine, fluid, placement, airflow, pre-hazing and output settings for a smooth, even atmospheric canvas.
Water or oil: which haze takes the crown? Ryan puts both contenders through five rounds, comparing appearance, hang time, cleanliness, breathability, and cost to help you choose the right atmospheric effect for your production, venue, performers, and budget.
Fog or haze? Ryan clears the air by putting these effects side by side. See how each is made, what it looks like, and where it works best, so you can choose between bold clouds and a smooth lighting canvas for your next production.
More than a decade in the making, Genesis began as a vision for a better low-lying fogger (one with no need for added consumables, no water, no CO₂). Follow the trials that led to its patent-pending FrostFlow cooling technology, customizable output, high-volume fan, and effortless performance, all engineered to make spectacular low fog easier than ever.
Load the tube, plug it in, and fire. See how Master FX turned a simple idea into a compact, road-ready confetti system. The Impact pairs serious power with flexible positioning, an adjustable ball joint, multiple control options, and no external CO₂ or compressor, delivering dramatic shots without bulky hardware blocking the audience’s view or cluttering the stage.
What began as a six-month fan project became an eighteen-month engineering challenge filled with plywood prototypes, assorted motors, and even metal trash cans. Discover how a dozen designs shaped the Force 8’s quiet, tour-ready motor, rugged lightweight propeller, variable control, compact mounting system, and enough airflow to push atmospheric effects up to 150 feet on demand.
In 2017, we launched the Prodigy Series Fog Generators, the first machines designed and manufactured by Master FX. It was a big step for a small company, but here we are 5 years later with the best-selling Fog Generators on the market. To mark the milestone, we interviewed the brains behind the project to learn how it all started.
Born from napkin sketches in 2016, the Atlas began as an ambitious attempt to pair an LED upshot with the Prodigy platform. See how that idea evolved into a compact, stage-ready powerhouse with an advanced fog engine design, cryo-like output, and no residue.
