[@MrNasexD]

Finally after all those years. I found Gavin.

[@oshi4542]

Really liked the light blaster when rays went through her arms.

[@mithunpandit8647]

Just hearing the sound of Gavin's voice saying "In this video..." fills me up with anticipation. This session is mind blowing as usual. Thanks Gavin for this. Appreciate it :)

[@reynaldomercado]

Great tutorial, as always. The model is gorgeous and looks like she have an on and off switch.. Hahaha! She knows her stuff well. Very impressed.

[@dreadnoughtphotowerkz]

Great teaching video. I just started shooting smoke today. I had about a 30% success rate. So, I went to the University of KZbin and found your video. Great advice!!!!!! I will be using your info, hopefully, to great success soon.

[@LucasPitcher13]

Another great tutorial and good advice on the smoke solution types. Love the way that Meg just 'turns on' the modelling - excellent work!

[@viviana154]

Love it ,excellent explained

[@selawetingwe5342]

[@JulieBoehm]

what you gave in front of the backlight at 5:05? Is it a gobo?

[@moto67e]

Meg is really good at her job.

[@dab7963]

Gavin what flash star device did you use behind her it looked awesome. It was not the Savage starlight I have that device. You used some kind of star device that was on the flash unit behind her ?

[@michaelhill692]

I really enjoy your tutorials. They are always entertaining and informative. Thanks Gavin!

[@Shivraj-Bharat-Patil]

Amazing man....❤

[@blacheatTv]

Where could i find that second light??? Awesome looking

[@martinsmith6049]

Gavin, thanks for all the videos. Does the 1200 set off fire alarms?,

[@arthurcoon7901]

Never disappointed!! Thanks!!

[@MotionMedia7]

[@MarkAKathurima]

Superb! Great tutorial, great results

[@charliethebubbles]

Another informative video, thank you Gavin.

[@russellallan8564]

here is a daft question - could you have someone vaping behind the model and backlit to produce the same effect?

[@brianpage7569]

Amazing work as usual Gavin, Great model as well.

[@zavoina]

Great video as always. Thank you and Adorama.

[@zahidkhanyousafzai3399]

[@zeusfloreus]

which portable power supply do you need to run this outdoors?

[@michelledonovan286]

I am curious on where you got your light blaster and if that is the actual name of the light? Thank you.

[@promokator]

Hello, what kind of modificator you used behind the model?

[@tedebaer1]

Thank you!

[@antoinernb9398]

As always a great vid loving it ;-) also great model

[@AngelaPerez-ie4gy]

What was the last light modifier you used?

[@renekelleway9343]

Great vid as always Gavin. Looking forward to trying this tomorrow :-) Your model is amazing, she really knows how to make shapes

[@mostakduwrc]

Gavin Hoey is the best

[@jgillylikesbudsalot7436]

Damn that model looks on point with that setup

[@damionrowe9763]

Awesome

[@waynebernier6829]

Gavin, which way is the lens on the Blaster facing? The backdrop or on her back?

[@GavinHoey]

Wayne Bernier it's facing Meg's back :)

[@AussieKaton]

Great video Gavin! I particularly liked the shots with the light blaster so I went out and bought one for myself and also the creative slide kits. I was disappointed though the creative kits didn't include the slide that you used. That was the reason that I bought the package as I wished to shoot the same style images. Where can I purchase the slide that you used?

[@twizzle1952]

Mate, you’re a star. Great model!

[@Ken_Poe]

I want try a this, but diy, flash and colander/sive ....

[@Fitografo]

Hi Gavin what’s the size of your studio

[@rickhamiltonpa]

Love your videos. Would you ever consider doing a video that shows your "Small home studio"? I would love to have a home studio. If i did, it would for sure be a "SMALL home studio". I would love to see yours in detail.

[@GavinHoey]

Not done a video as there's really nothing else to see. My studio wall is at one end, my PC is at the other. Lots more details are here scottkelby.com/guest-blog-wednesday-featuring-gavin-hoey

[@blacheatTv]

This was great

[@LORDOFDASITH]

Gavin which light blaster kit is that light from ?

[@theapocalypsechronicles3]

He he, Meg Biffin. She's changed a bit since being bitten by a vampire. Good tips. Thank you.

[@PeterBielack]

Gavin, You video is great! Now I know I need a Light blaster!

[@rgreeneish]

Awesome video. I’ve done some smoke shoots, but not with a model yet. And I’ve been trying to figure out how to get light rays. That light blaster is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

[@sfayers3361]

Great video Gavin with very useful tips. My home studio is also our TV/Living Room with soft furnishings, carpets and curtains. Does anyone know if these smoke machines leave a residue?

[@GavinHoey]

This type of smoke machine uses water based fog fluid and doesn't leave any residue.

[@dunnymonster]

Brilliant as always and a beautiful model too! I bought a small smoke machine for my own " small home studio " but I've yet to try it out. I didn't realise there were different smoke types, I'll have to stock up on the various fluids 😊

[@angelmccoy4884]

awesome!

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

Where can we get that light blaster???

[@markburger9784]

What was the name of the LED light you used? I can not find it anywhere.

[@maverickdesigns3761]

great tutorial..thank you very much Gavin!

[@MarcelinoNogueiro]

@thegavinhoey - Great video. I do have a question, the first set you indicated that CO2 was being used but it looks like she is using the Hurricane 1200 Fog Machine for all 3. I understand about the light and heavy fluids but how do you setup the Hurricane 1200 for CO2? Thanks.

[@GavinHoey]

It's CO2 effect smoke, not real CO2 )which is VERY hard to come by in the UK). It's called various names as mentioned at 2:28 :)

[@vinniemac58]

I know this is an old video, but maybe Gavin will still see the comment - I just acquired a fog machine and came acros this video - super content, and a great model! I have a LightBlaster and tried it with the fog, but couldn't get the sharpness of the lines you got Gavin. I was using a 3D printed gobo which has good edges that projects well onto a background. 50mm 1.8 lens wide open. I tried varying the focus distance on the lens but didn't see a lot of diference. Am I missing something?

[@bonnierovere7157]

Fun stuff!

[@gadgeteer57]

Awesome!thanks :)

[@esinnejstudio]

Thank you

[@massimoraffaelefavaloro4354]

hi Gavin, I would like to buy a smoke machine but I'm afraid of ruining my camera and lenses !! What kind of smoke machine should I buy? In water, oil? I'm a little confused.

[@GavinHoey]

Sorry for the late reply. Look for water based smoke machines every time ;)

[@ScottRadfordChisholm]

Gavin, thanks for that video. I wanted to have a go at using a smoke machine in our work / office studio. Was told by our landlords NO as they were unsure if smoke alarms would be affected. Any idea on this ??

[@GavinHoey]

I took professional advice on this a few years back. The upshot was it probably won't set off most domestic smoke alarms but might set off optically triggered detectors.

[@brunocs182]

Amazing! Just amazing!

[@FsquareTv_]

Plzz add editing part also

[@mariocarranza573]

Great video my friend, what was the name of the (light blaster?) accessory that lights the background? This video is just what I was looking for today, many thanks I loved it.

[@bellacavachon7510]

[@runmorebenelux940]

Second best video on smoke! First one goes to Jason Lanier

[@TheWaspist]

where can we get those led light in the background?

[@BlackWindPro]

Can you post a link to the light blaster adapter you used?

[@GavinHoey]

Joseph D'Anthony Here you go :) www.adorama.com/sglb.html

[@MrIweegin]

Great video Gavin, love your work. Although I'm a bit disappointed on the way the "Light Blaster" worked on your video. I just recently purchased one and could not get the results you achieved, had to return it.

[@aleksvei5981]

For the problem of focusing with a lot of smoke, wouldn't it be easier to use a manual lens, with no autofocus at all, while staying at the same distance from the subject?

[@GavinHoey]

It might if you're happy to do so, my eye sight isn't that good ;)

[@forgewire]

There is no link to LED lights and light blaster he used

[@GavinHoey]

forgewire Here you go... LightBlaster www.adorama.com/sglb.html Spekular www.adorama.com/sgspka.html

[@chazM6116]

Great as always, I make my own fog fluid so much cheaper.( ask if you not know how to make it) One point is to watch out if you have Smoke Alarms.... I found out the hard way LOL..

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Chaz. From my non-scientific experiments, different smoke machines and different smoke fluids have very different effects on household smoke alarms. Some set them off, others don't.

[@SatinMediaDetroit]

I have that one

[@TheMightyAtomm]

More more and more 🤙🏼👏🏼

[@melomanAndrei-mb4zc]

Круто спасибо за видео
