Just to let everyone know, the best solution was to turn the hazer
to face the wall offstage and then put a couple of fans on the
backside to direct the haze on stage. Running the fan at about 50%
and the haze low helped too. I think the wall caused the haze to
disperse faster so it was more even by the time it got to where
people could see it.<br>

<div>A trick I've sometimes used is to put it as far off stage
as possible with a fan behind the hazer shooting it either
directly upstage or dowstage. This helps to dissipate the haze
a bit before it makes it to the stage.</div>

<div> I use DF 50s so there isn't a level, but I do try to get a
good base level of haze preshow and then I'll run an effect
with it on for 1 min, off for 3 mins for the duration of the
show, turning it on to run for the entire intermission.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've read about people putting the hazer right next to the
cold air return and allowing all of the haze to be sucked into
that so the HVAC gives you even dispersion as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, back in the day, I'd put the hazer up as high in the
theatre as possible filling the flys with haze before it
slowly fell down into sight.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to add haze to my current show and
it's been a struggle to get the right balance of fan speed
and pump speed. I figured the might be some collected wisdom
in the group I could take advantage of. We're using a Rosco
V-hazer on a fairly small stage, 36' opening and low fly
space. The hazer is sitting off stage left since there's an
exhaust vent stage right that seems to be creating some flow
across the stage.

</div>
<div>Whenever the hazer is on it looks like the building is
on fire. I've tired low haze/high fan, low haze/low fan,
medium haze/medium fan. I have a small fan in front of the
hazer to direct the haze and spread it more. Nothing seems
to get that nice even feel I've seen in other (mostly
Broadway) shows.

<div>Thoughts/suggestions? What has worked for you? I
think what I really need is a much finer mist entering
the stage area but I'm not sure how to get it.</div>
