CONGRATULATIONS

Back when I used to regularly use youtube as you know a social networking site (in elementary school mind you, thank god those days are passed) I would subscribe to random people who had no videos just to encourage them to make videos so its not that outlandish BrickStory

alsop what ever happened to that software development "Biscuit"

Serious brickfilming related question:
Does anyone think that it might be possible to put a consistent atmosphere of fog in an animation studio?
If possible, it could be an interesting way to add depth, atmosphere, and realism to certain shots.
Of course, keeping that layer of fog consistent frame to frame might not be possible.

Ooo, I just thought of something:

If you had the fog pouring onto the set, the fog would be ever changing in its exact shape, so taking pictures would resulting in the general shape fluctuating from frame to frame.
Now if you put your hand in, this would also mess it up, but after you took your hand away, you could wait just a moment to let the fog even out.
And to deal with the first problem, you might be able to fix it by setting your camera at a longer exposure like maybe a second or so as to let the shape pf the fog even out and you could get a general average shape wich would stay more consistent frame to frame.

I'm a bit late, but congrats!

I recently thought up a new method for adding mist which is remarkably easy, and yet yields surprisingly realistic results which can be seen here: https://flic.kr/p/mw69za

It's done by waving around a tissue for a really long exposure.

Another Flickr user also used my new technique in a recreation of a scene from the Lord of the Rings:

Unfortunately, it's mostly horrible for animation because it's dreadfully inconsistent from frame to frame.
Though, I made a test were I used it in specific part of the frame for having a character appear in a puff of smoke, which does actually work rather well.
But, as a consistent haze, which is what I want, it's only good for stills.

Thank you!  That's some interesting stuff.  I'd never seen that before.
It's a horrible shame that I don't have a container suitable for underwater shots.  I would need something with smooth and very clear sides.  I should get one.

A problem Smèagol mentioned in that old thread was that the surface of the water might cause strange lighting effects.
However, if you set the exposure relatively high, the slight rippling in the water might even itself out.
Alternatively, one might light the set from the side rather than from above, thus the rippling wouldn't at all be a problem.
Another person mentioned that the milk might settle over time.  Though, with one's hand entering the water and moving something approximately every 30 seconds, that might naturally mix it a little bit and keep it even.

Animating like that does sound awfully annoying, but for certain specific shots, it might be worth it.
