In my neighborhood, I currently rule for halloween. Easy to do, since no one seems to know or care about lighting and other effects--the bar is low and I can easily raise it. I'm betting my green laser vortex alone will be a big hit in 2010.
However, my wife's been wanting me to do something for christmas, but there are some pretty elaborate displays--can't compete there and don't want to.
But I can add one thing that others don't have--snow! I'm in central North Carolina, and we often don't even have flurries around then. I've seen DJ snow machines for ~$130 USD. Evidently it's not real snow like those made by snow machines at ski resorts. So I'm wondering--what's in the snow fluid used by the DJ versions?
As for halloween, perhaps someone could use a snow machine to make a wicked "snow maze" ala The Shining.
Anyway, does anyone here own a snow machine and if so:
1) How does it work?
2) How do you like it?
3) How have you set up scenes with it? (another good post out there on actual uses for the green laser vortex)
Also wondering how much a *real* snow machine is--e.g. least expensive--is and what it's like running one. And if anyone here has used one.
Thanks.
