<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I am doing research for the posiblity of buying a haze machine. My alto-ego asked this question on the FB side, so I will ask here as well go into more detail.</p>
<p>One of the theatre group I work with is gearing up to a production with a rock concert vibe (Rock of Ages). In in effort to create the lighting effects from a (good) concert, I came across the topic of hazer machines. No one in the group that I know about, has any experince with Hazers. So I have a few questions.</p>
<p>1) What are the best brands to look at on a shoe string budget? From the research I have done so far, I think I would prefer a water based one. HAs any one tried the DIY versions I have seen on youtube?</p>
<p>2) The artist director asked about reside? Will it make the stage slick or sticky at any point in time? From what I have read, water based will not at anytime, oil based might if you had a rock concert playing in the space every night for a week or more. What is you experince?</p>
<p>3) Any concern in regards to placement with a live band or lighting?</p>
<p>4) Has it been know to trigger breathing problems? (Like a patron with asthma)</p>
<p>We have a small space, around 140 seats. Concerns about setting of the fire alarm have already been dealt with.</p>
<p>I look forward to responces.</p>
