Atlanta Special FX and Cloudvertise® Alter The Skyline for Alabama SEC Football

 

 

August 31, 2013 Atlanta GA: Once again Atlanta Special FX has partnered up with Chick Fil A to show the world an exciting new aerial special effect.  This incredible visual effect is not only stimulating, but it is an amazing form of aerial advertising...and the best part is 'Its GREEN'  That's right this whimsical use of 3D helium filled bubbles is completely eco friendly and can be used for indoor and outdoor venues.  According to David Larsen of Atlanta Special FX "The foam just simply evaporates once it touches any surface leaving no residue."  These amazing man made clouds provide hours upon hours of fun for stargazing fans as they watch their team logo or corporate brand hover around on the breeze.  We caught up with Shane Durrance a well known local photographer (who captured the famous "Atlanta Tornado") and is now working with the Cloudvertise® team and this is what he had to say.  "I have been in and around sporting events all my professional career and I have never witnessed the excitement in kids, and adults, eyes as they gaze at these amazing forms of aerial artwork." We also asked Durrance what intrigued him about this company that made him want to be involved and he remarked "All my life I have watched for the next BIG thing, the next cutting edge idea, and I believe I have found it with Michael Willett and Atlanta Special FX."  

     Our team followed the Cloudvertisers from install to breakdown and it goes without saying these guys never stopped handing out cards and fliers.  Fans were walking all the way down from the nosebleeds just to catch a glimpse of this amazing machine and get more information on how they could utilize it.  We even heard a lady ask about doing weddings and owner Michael Willett said "We can customize this machine to any event no matter what the size."  Seems like the applications are endless and with such a unique and catchy name this product does exactly what its name describes.  We later caught up with owner Michael Willett and asked about his relationship with Chick Fil A and here is what we learned "Chick Fil A was one of the first major companies to reach out to us and we knew from the beginning our ethics, morals and business models were an instant mesh.  They are a company that loves to be on the cutting edge and we are a company that continues to forge along that same edge of technology.  I am extremely happy to have the opportunity to work with such a great staff year in and year out." 

     This is truly a couple of exciting companies to always be watching out for and if you need more information on this HOT new trend of Cloudvertising call 1-888-664-0097 or visit the website www.Cloudvertise.com

Atlanta Special FX Spotlights First Neon Paint Cannons For Sale In The Industry

Neon Paint Cannons at UV Neon Paint Party

Atlanta Special FX is once again blasting its way to the front of the pack.  This time with an ingenius way of splattering kids with UV neon paint.  ATL FX launched its new product line this month with a proprietary CO2 powered neon paint cannon for propelling paint into crowds of cheering teens and adults during high energy EDM paint parties.  CEO Michael Willett said "We have watched the popualarity of these shows grow over the last few years with companies like DayGlow and Life In Color and we have provided them special effects, such as CO2 jets and CO2 confetti cannons, but we are always challenging ourselves to stay on the cutting edge.  I believe we have done it again with our Neon Paint Cannon"  After seeing this product in action and how it blasts over a gallon of paint in just one second to distances up to 60 feet you will see why Atlanta Special FX filed a patent on the technology.  The cannon utilizes compressed gases and multiple launch angles to propel the paint up and out in to the cheering audience.  The cannon also has a loud blast when it goes off signaling to unsuspecting fans to prepare to get spattered.  Willett also informed us "We currently sell the cannons in 6 of the over 50 countries we service and looking at our order list you will soon see these in all those countries"  Another recent partnership has people talking and I am referring to the alignment of a paint party entertainment company named Neon1X Entertainment and Atlanta Special FX has really generated a lot of buzz.  CEO of Neon1X Ent Craig Wallace told us "This new relationship with ATL FX was aligned in the stars.  Its rare when two people meet that share a passion for what they do, but our two companies have it."  Wallace also went on to say "When its not all about the money your show will be bigger and better.  We don't cut corners and our two companies put heart and soul into making every show bigger and better, with more paint, more surprises and even custom made man made clouds shaped like stars and corporate logos floating around in the venue."  Did he just say custom clouds?  After digging some more we learned Wallace was referring to the Atlanta Special FX division of Cloudvertising.  Atlanta Special FX has perfected and trademarked the art of Cloudvertising.   Cloudvertise® as referred to experienced members as the art of taking foam and injecting it with lighter than air gases, then forcing it through a mold to produce shaped foam clouds that come out every 40 seconds and float on the breeze for up to an hour before just evaporating into thin air.  Unbelievable to think that you could be seeing RedBull, Monster, and other envogue corporate sponsors getting involved with these popular paint parties and using this cloud producing technology.  So be sure to keep your eyes on these two companies as the next few months take shape.  Wallace closed by saying "We have already booked parties well into 2014 and have new ideas, and FX equipment being custom made for each show."  Below is the contact info for both companies if you have further questions.  Very exciting stuff!

CO2 Cryo Jets Rock Philips Arena For WNBA Atlanta Dream.

On Saturday May 25th at Phillips Arena in Atlanta Georgia fans witnessed Atlanta Special FX and East Coast Pyrotechnics blasting some cool special effects as the Atlanta Dream took the court for their WNBA season opener.  The special effects team used a combination of the dual nozzle co2 cryo fog cannons (Seen Left) manufactured by Atlanta Special FX and air burst to announce the Dream players.  Just before the national anthem, the special effects team rolled into place two 12 foot co2 cryo towers that served as the pillars for the women to run through.  As each player ran through the gateway, 1-3 pyrotechnic air burst would fire and co2 cryo fog would be blasted from tops of the towers.  If you notice in the video the dual nozzle cryo jet fog blasts make a perfect W signifying the Women's National Basketball Association.  This was the first time the Atlanta Dream had utilized the co2 cryo jet systems and management thanked us after the effect and said it was exactly what they wanted!

Cloudvertising Meets Cloud Computing - 3D Floating Logo Clouds

For years now people have wondered just exactly what the "Cloud" is in reference to the world of computing.  For many this is still tough to grasp, but as time goes on it gets easier and easier to understand.  Much like the phenomenon of man made clouds, this gray area of "What is Cloud Computing" and "What is Cloudvertising" has been on the minds of many for quite some time.  Over the last few weeks Atlanta Special FX and CBeyond have begun to bridge the gap between Cloud Computing and Cloudvertising by physically Cloudvertising a Cloud Computing celebration.  As you now know both of these "Clouds" have taken time for the mainstream to get their heads around, but take a look around, and you will see that this exciting machine can physically advertise in the Clouds.  Cloudvertising is offered exclusively by Atlanta Special FX and can be done indoors, at events such as: Tradeshows, College Football Games, Professional Sporting Events, Motocross, X Games, and much more.  They are also ideal for any outdoor guerilla marketing or concert venues and can be seen for miles.  This stunning effect can be controlled by the operator to hover at pre set heights and a new floating logo cloud is produced from the machine every 30-45 seconds.  This makes for a sky full of fun.  So over the next few months be watching for other great Cloudvertising....Cloud events from companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.  This is an exciting time to grow in the Cloud.  For more information on how to rent a Cloudvertising machine for your event, contact Michael Willett at Atlanta Special FX 1-888-664-0097, or visit www.Cloudvertise.com

What Are The Differences Between All The CO2 and Cryo Labeled Products? FAQ

When talking about a CO2 Jet, you may have heard many names used before or you may have not. Whether you have or not, we will clarify some of the confusion here and get the nitty gritty on what each of the names means and how they relate to what you has become the focal point of todays special effects industry for both DJs and Nightclubs. When searching for a Cryo Cannon online you may have seen "CO2 Jet Blaster", "Handheld Cryo Gun", "Cryo Jet", or "C02 Jet" and have instantly become confused as to what the difference is between them.

First off, there is a difference between each one and therefore some things should be taken into account before following through with a click on that link titled "CO2 Jets For Sale". Essentially you have two categories, mounted and non-mounted jets, otherwise called handheld units. The handheld cryo gun falls into this category as by its name and of course its build since it is more like a fog sprayer than anything else. The mounted category contains the rest of the names mentioned above, Cryo Cannon, C02 Jet, CO2 Jet Blaster, Cryo Jet, and CO2 Jet. As a side note, all the units here fall under the special effects category and are used for special fx only.
So now onto the difference between the 5 names that sound so much alike. To start, a CO2 Jet, mistyped C02 Jet with a zero before the 2, is merely a piece of equipment that sprays Liquid Carbon Dioxide out of it to create white fog that is very cold. CO2 is the proper abbreviated name which has to do with the checmical makeup, therefore displaying the 2 in the name (ex. CO2 Cannon). A CO2 Jet Blaster is simply a CO2 Jet, but can be a higher output model, hence the "Blaster" at the end. For Cryo Cannon and Cryo Jet, these are names which have come to attention as the word "Cryo" means "Cold" or "Of Low Temperature". So when used in names such as Handheld Cryo Gun, Cryo Cannon, and Cryo Jet it is referring to low temperature output of what the unit will be spraying.

Having clarified the nomenclature of the names, we have a better understanding of what means what. With this said, and to get very technical with it, a CO2 Jet would be different from a Cryo Jet in the sense that the first deals with CO2 only and the second deals with anything cold. The same would go for Cryo Cannon and CO2 Cannon as well. We've already covered the mistype of C02 Jet so that's handled and out of the way. The CO2 Jet Blaster being a higher output model of a regular jet covers that name. The Handheld Cryo Gun name suggests it can sprray anything cold, but should only be used for spraying liquid carbon dioxide and not Liquid Nitrogen or anything else as it could ruin the machine. Another pointer to be made about this name is a Cryo Gun is also used in the medical field to freeze skin defects such as warts. You will want to make sure you are getting a special effects model such as the one pictured here at http://www.atlspecialfx.com/collections/co2-cryo-fog-smoke

How To Install A CO2 Cryo Fog Cooling System - Easy Install Techniques

If you have never installed a CO2 cryo jet system it may seem like a daunting task.  After you read through this short paragraph you will know all the ins and outs of installing your own CO2 cryo system with either high pressure tanks or low pressure Dewar tanks.  All the pros in the special effects world understand it doesn't take years of experience to install the CO2 cryo jets manufactured by Atlanta Special FX.  These cryo blasters are engineered to save you time and money.  They can be mounted in a variety of positions allowing for easy setup in all types of venues. 

If you notice on the photo to the left the lower, and back, mounting plates are designed to use screws for mounting to the floor, wall, and ceiling.  The multi mounting points allow the CO2 units to be installed right side up, lefts side, right side and upside down.  It also includes a pre drilled hole for easy mounting to a truss system using a J-clamp or C-clamp.  Once you have decided on your mounting the next thing to do is consider the location of your tanks in relation to your cryo nozzles.  Ideally you will want to keep your tanks as close to the CO2 jets as possible and always use tested and approved cryo hosing.  With that in mind, here are some general guidelines (NOT REQUIREMENTS) you will want to follow with your hose lengths:

1. Do your best to stay at 50-70 feet or less from your tanks when using low pressure Dewar tanks. (Closer is better)
2. Try to keep a direct line between your cryo jets and your tanks.  (The less 90 degree turns the better)
3. When using high pressure tanks you can use longer hoses (But if the CO2 sets in the hoses for extended periods of time between shots you will experience the noise before the white fog comes out)
4. It is optional to use T fittings and attach multiple jets to a single hose.

Now that you have decided the location of tanks and the location of cryo jets, you will need to distinguish between the cryo hose ends to determine which hooks to which.  The brass end is a standard CO2 fitting and attaches to the liquid CO2 bottle and the silver end attaches to the cryo jet.  Once you have attached your hoses you will now need to determine how you will power the jets on and off.  Most industry professionals use a 4 channel DMX dimmer / switch kit. (Sold Separately).  Others use items such as foot switches, push button firing systems, and even as manual as a surge protector.  The cryo jets only need a simple on off signal.  When the jet is on, CO2 plumes of fog will shoot from the nozzle and when they are off there will be no noise or fog.  The last things you will want to do are test fire the jets, without the gas on, listening for the clicking on/off sound.  Once you have tested the on/off it is time open your CO2 bottle.  Be sure the cryo unit is off, open the valve on top of the CO2 bottle all the way and the line will pressurize.  It is always good practice to leave the bottle closed until just before you need the effect.  This will ensure a nice, instant plume of fog when you power the CO2 fogger on.

CO2 fog is a great way to entertain your guests as well as provide stunning visual and audible effects while cooling the room down.  This is why CO2 foggers are a popular item for any nightclub venue.
