POLLEN PROBLEM :)

[Neil_D]

Hello all,


Perhaps you've seen a shot in a short film or a feature of a field in the summer during magic hour. Often in these shots the filmmakers were either able to emulate or actually capture airborne pollen.

I want to do the same. Any ideas how??

here are my ideas so far:

1. I've acquired a large quantity of sawdust, I could somehow get it airborne…
2. I buy cotton…like the kind you'd use to fill a pillow or stuffed animal…"break" it up into thousands of little pieces and hope for a windy enough day for the wind itself to loft them…

Really what I want to create is a haze that is sort of coming out of the ground…preferably a yellowish one. I think the sawdust idea may work but, any ideas on getting it in the air??


Thanks so much!

Neil

Shiiiiiiiiiiit, that sawdust is gonna get everywhere because you're gonna need a truck load of it and a big d@mn fan.
Don't do cotton. Fugedaboudit.


Ask WheatGrinder about his fogger experience. One of those and some lighting may be a better option.

When do you have to shoot this?

You could get a fogger for less than $40 bucks around Halloween. They sell them at Walgreens....
