A test I made for Scarecrow's Fear Gas in I Am The Night.
Unfortunately, the nightmare part turned out kinda badly. 
I did this mainly to see how the gas effect worked.
I'm open to other suggestions on how to make the gas better.

i thought it looked good, my only complaint would be it seemed he flew back to far.
Yeah, I thought so. I wanted him to get scared and fall, but it ended up looking like he got pushed back by some green goo.
xD
I loved it, far better than anything I could do!

It will have a better feel to it when the sfx are placed. I'm sure it'll be a gassy sound from the gun rather than a thud lol
Looked a lot better then adding the gas on afterwards in post production.
Nice.
Do you, by any chance, mean "tear gas"?
Nevermind.
How did you color the cotton ball? Was it a green light?
Just a simple tool in photo shop I can quickly use to add the colour in a few seconds.
(Though, I would rather have actual green cotton, since it would look slightly more realistic, but I don't think anyone would sell that)
The only thing that needs some improvement is how the gas moves. Cotton can work really well for smoke or gas if animated right. The main thing to remember is that a light gas moves up and disperses. If you do that, then it'll come out really great.

...gas always moves up...
It depends on the gas. Some gasses are heavier than air, and thus sink. This is what makes Chlorine gas so dangerous.

Oh, right.
Well, to animate a gas like that, you would make it go strait out and slowly sink to the bottom and disperse to the sides. It doesn't just drop like a rock.
And another thing; gas moves slowly unless propelled out of something or something is moving air towards it rapidly. So once it's shot out of the gun, it would move forward fast then slow down.
Wow, that looks wonderfull. I like that is's green.
