Thomas Vs Brewster Part 2 - Smoke & Fire Effects

[@TylerBenney]

It’s hard to believe that this video is 9 years old now. But it’s still full of great information.

[@leokimvideo]

@TrainzXtreme the aldi smoke machine is designed for indoor use only..! i have been in film studios filled with smoke, yet to see it strip paint off the walls

[@22Tesla]

Dude, these effects are the best! CGI is all well any good, but this is the best

[@jakepatrickgan879]

Possibly, one of my favorite things in every Thomas related videos of yours Leo, is when Thomas says "Thomas PPPPPOWER!" in some scenes. Why? Well it is to show that Thomas is the No. 1 engine of Sodor and he is a great tank engine.

[@LegionOfWeirdos]

Very interesting tutorial... We had an Aldi grocery store in my hometown three decades ago or so... I never realized it was an international chain. I thought the only one was in my hometown. It closed maybe years ago and I've never seen another.

[@leokimvideo]

@Lumpyrox1412 i have worked in the film industry for too long and tended to witness much silly stuff over the years, this little video only skims the surface on things to do with smoke it's strangely a fairly complex art

[@FindMeInKurume]

wow that's really cool how you made the smoke effect @ 1:00. Interesting video about smoke machines, but I would stay away from sniffing it lol that low lying fog after making your cloth wet is a really neat effect too!

[@leokimvideo]

@ToaCelon549 the lego police station here in Australia is $149, and that price is far too high

[@leokimvideo]

@TrainzXtreme no, because it is mounted on the outer cover of the outlet..!

[@TFdragon64]

A dying art form? I'm actually tempted to use these effects! :D

[@kkehoe5]

These behind the scense and how to videos are by far my favorite videos you produce. You should do a comparison video of the el-cheapo smoke fluid doing the same effects as the good stuff. Like low smoke and the fire scene. It might help people decide if they need to upgrade to the premium fluid. Thanks again for the great videos.

[@leokimvideo]

@Nfuego5 well the Aldi one is so cheap, considering I bought a small Gem smoke machine a few years for $1500 it makes the Aldi one seem like a steal

[@leokimvideo]

@TMRReturns you have to be careful shoping at Aldi, i have had some serious lemons there as well, one classic was the recent 8GB USB drives which were actually 1GB, seems someone in China did a sting on Aldi, there is a bit of web chat about this if you know where to look

[@JustBeingKyleJBK]

Great video, very entertaining and informative. Not going to lie, I always get a little excited when I see a long tutorial video in my sub box.

[@leokimvideo]

@tridentlayers100 i have just done a string of lego videos, so why do you ask for more..??

[@leokimvideo]

@tridentlayers100 the lego videos have been a bit of a fail for me, i tried to connect to some high ranking lego tubers and failed, the lego audience seems to be very picky who they watch and there seems to be very little return for doing lego videos, not sure why

[@leokimvideo]

@FindMeInKurume thats explained in the video, is this a trick question

[@Britishrailwaystories]

Wish I'd seen this before my Day of the Diesels video - greatly informative Leo, brilliant stuff.

[@OwenConcorde]

Awesome effects video! I really like how you threw that Thomas in your homemade "wind tunnel".

[@martin0mac2000]

@TrainzXtreme yes its fine to completely smother your items in smoke. You may find a residue afterwards though. and dont get anything plastic to close to the output! its very HOT!!!!

[@pLacepartay]

great video, these videos are very fun and interesting

[@martin0mac2000]

@CalleyFan If you use small amounts like Leo, no it wont set off a particle sensing smoke alarm. But in large quantity it will.

[@leokimvideo]

@kkehoe5 these sorts of videos seemed to be enjoyed by viewers BUT tend not to be that popular overall as it's starting to focus on a single theme i did some looking around at the price difference between el chepo and gem smoke fluid and the difference in price is not that much ( depending where you live ) as usual the pricing where i live is far above what i see say in the USA i would assume with the cheap smoke fluid your basically buying watered down smoke fluid, thats my gut feeling

[@leokimvideo]

@spyfox14 that aldi smoke machine is designed for indoor use only, and film studios get pumped with this stuff all the time lets hope it's safe..!

[@leokimvideo]

@cubeproduktion i was waiting for Adli's Halloween smoke machine to arrive, hence the delay

[@leokimvideo]

@ChristopherMast ok, how's scary dave, he's the key to all this..!

[@leokimvideo]

@johncolesuk i'm afraid in camera visual effects will become a lost art, i have a feeling thats already happening

[@leokimvideo]

@TrainzXtreme i have a link in the info area of this video, BUT i don't want to look like i'm sending people there, generally good props and effects shops carry quality fluid

[@leokimvideo]

@tridentlayers100 yep loads of unsubbing glitches going on, just as the tuber FRED

[@MiniatureCharacters01]

I love these special effects videos Sad you can't do these anymore

[@leokimvideo]

@Trackmaster14 because it's Thomas

[@lucaslikesthomas]

I love to do this sort of thing but when i tried the 'keep the smoke down' I attacthed the pipe but it over heated and burnt out :( Luckily I was still under warrenty but I'm not anymore :O

[@JamesFan1991]

Very good. But I would like to know about computer effects for my Thomas and Friends Animated series. Can you help?

[@leokimvideo]

@martin0mac2000 ummm, well I do have a large GEM smoke machine as well, and guess what it works exactly the same..!

[@trainguy111]

Cool! I might have to try this on my train layout.

[@TheSudrianStoryteller]

those are some cool idea things with the fog Leo. especially the Fire effect Idea with two lights and orange & pink jell. I'll think about doing somethig like that in one of my videos one day, if I do have a chance. : ) but you are Incredible and amazing by the way you do your vids. but, I think my father keeps an old Fog machine with him, perhaps I can use it from him and use it with some effects you shown. ; )

[@TheNoogaRailfan]

I wonder if there could be any of these for sale here in America I could possibly use for my future model railway series.

[@Trackmaster14]

@leokimvideo no the creativity behind the effects too! more so even! its fascinating!!

[@JedAnimationStudios]

thanks leo i better get down to ALDI to see if they have one of them machines, bye :)

[@spyfox14]

Very intresting, however, is smoke fluid dangerous in a closed enviroment?

[@martin0mac2000]

You have a very nice combination there. Your effects using the smoke machine, will just about only work with this Aldi machine, due to its tiny size, and the small size of the pump. Anything larger and I would expect it to put out 2-3X as much smoke. Also just to note, the brand name is Jem, not Gem, just in case people try to search for it. But a nice informative video as always! (Now just to see if I can upscale things)

[@martin0mac2000]

@leokimvideo No clue what the Livingston smoke fluid goes for, but I know the Jem/Martin Pro Smoke Super (ZR Mix), which is what im guessing your using, is arround AUD$50 for a 5lt bottle.

[@Lumpyrox1412]

Howd u learn all about these filming techniques, was it pure trial and error or are you skilled in this area by nature?

[@ToyFan]

You have a gas powered soldering iron???

[@leokimvideo]

@thomas9012 i steer clear of strobe lights due to the problems this creates to some viewers who have certain medical conditions strobe lights in a video is a no, no

[@PizzamonkeyFGC]

I WANT MORE LEGO VIDEOS! not to be mean, to be excited, and to tell the truth, ive been pacient since ur last one

[@FindMeInKurume]

@leokimvideo erm.. no questions at all, just a statement. I thought it was very cool how you did it.

[@smashkiller64]

@leokimvideo When you get enough money you should buy a large scale bachmann Thomas and slowly build up it will be worth both you and your kid's time and you will enjoy it so much. AMAZING job on the smoke and fire just woooooooooow!!!

[@mcfrdmn]

Nice video.

[@CrisisOnACanoe]

Does it set the fire alarms off at all? I'd love to use a smoke machine.

[@22Tesla]

@leokimvideo Okay. I guess I'll have to use your guide here and use fluid that produces thick smoke. And, once again, really cool videos! They are wonderful.

[@Trackmaster14]

simply amazing

[@BiPolarExpress1225]

Can you use a humidifier for smoke?

[@jakepierson6208]

What would be the best way to create an overcast sky that you can move with a fan

[@JesusBlack14]

thanks for the video. :) Kind regards

[@leokimvideo]

@CalleyFan no

[@22Tesla]

And, are you sure you spelled Gem right? I searches and all I can find is Jem smoke fluid.

[@cinderhella]

I would do all of this IF I HAD A SMOKE MACHINE!

[@leokimvideo]

@22Tesla do you remember my little tutorial about the red and blue duck, dare say we have a red duck here at least i can't be accused of advertising a company here, nothing worse than the creepy in video ad's you see everywhere now on the tube, gem are not paying me for me dropping their name thats for sure i dare say every one of my uploads has a fail of some sort, keeps the viewers on their toes

[@Blur4strike]

In my part of the world smoke machines come out at Halloween and prices tend to vary.

[@ToaCelon549]

How much was that Police Station when you got it? It retails for 99.99$ U.S.D. in America. Probably like 170 dollars.

[@leokimvideo]

@pLacepartay well done being first

[@shortround551]

when does he results come out/?

[@BritanniaPacific]

The fog reminds me of snow and at one point a scene of the thunderbirds episode "danger at ocean deep" do you or does anyone agree with me?

[@gwsr55]

Great Video Leo!! You have well and truley enspired me to pl,ay with effects and am considering getting a smoke machine now! so if you see any new smoke vids on my channel i will give you special mention thank you!!

[@tomhuggs3]

[@SUPERMARIOJUSTAN]

[@mariceliscolon4062]

[@WarlordSh4Dow]

Aww, I was hoping to pick up a nice smoke machine like that Aldi one you have. Too bad South Australia doesn't have Aldi stores! I'll have to see what we have around here. Also wondering what happened to your maggie friend? Haven't seen any videos about 'him' for a while. Has he left?
