A
WITCH AND HER CEMETERY STEW (FOG MACHINE) |
|
|
|
|
| This
prop uses a fog machine to produce smoke
out of a Witch's cauldron. |
| |
|
We needed a big cauldron so we used a large
trash can fastened to a plywood base. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We
used 90-degree L-brackets to attach the trash
can |
| to
the plywood base. |
| |
|
We bought the trash can at a local hardware store. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Inside
the trash can we mounted a spotlight holder
to the |
|
side wall. A red spotlight shines up
through the fog and on |
| to
the witch. We used bolts and nuts, not screws. |
| |
|
We
attached a fake human arm and hand to hang
out of |
| the
cauldron for an added effect. |
| |
|
About
2 inches from the bottom, we cut out a circle |
| and
placed a PVC pipe. The pipe is used to
carry fog |
| in
to the cauldron. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A smaller kitchen sized trash can will be the |
| weather
protector for the fog machine. |
|
We
spray painted it black. |
| |
| We
cut a hole in the bottom of it so the PVC |
| pipe
can go in to the cauldron from it then laid |
| it
on it's side and fastened it to the plywood |
| base
with L-brackets. |
| |
|
The
witch prop is a simple PVC pipe zombie. |
| |
| In
this photo, we pulled back the witch's sleeve |
| to
show how she's made. |

| |
| Notice
the PVC pipe is coming through the |
| smaller
garbage can. The end of the fog machine |
| is
placed inside this PVC pipe to pump fog in to |
| the
cauldron. Be careful not to make direct
contact |
|
with the fog machine because it may melt the PVC
pipe. |
