It gets tricky using a smoke machine.
You want to have the smoke, but you want to maintain the sharpness of the scene.
So every time we filmed a take with the smoke machine, and he mistakenly said something wrong (as it always happens when filming) or to film another take for safety, we had to clear the smoke.
How are we doing it?
Sometimes, with the hand, as you can see in the video below, Kalani creates a fan while looking at how it looks on the big screen!
(This was beside all the fans.)
Every single frame is much work, and that's why The Slingshot Guys videos have such a significant success rate because we do the work!

At The Slingshot Guys, our videos focus on ensuring people are watching them.
I've included below the screenshot of one of our videos that shows that more than 60% of viewers are still watching the video at 0:35.
Because when we write a script and edit and structure everything, we're focused on the end viewer; how will he watch it?
We bring for our clients results!

😊“Well… at least he tried!”
📌In 2018, we produced “Date Night”, a 3D animated commercial, for DISH Network.
✨This 3D animated video shows a happy couple enjoying a lovely romantic date night. Still, when they sit together to watch a movie, the TV stream cuts out at the most romantic scene, and their date subsequently gets a lousy ending!
Please share your thoughts with us in the comments below!👇

🎥💫 Demonstr.Eight // Behind every great advert is a great plan (and a few coffee stains on the storyboard). We loved getting detailed and considering every frame for the Emmerdale Experience TV Commercial. Warning: May cause sudden appreciation for meticulous planning.

This is an interesting overview of high frame rate filmmaking. I have a lot of experience with high speed shooting, having helped bring the Phantom cameras to the cinema production world. In my early days working with the Phantom I developed some software for converting the Phantom’s raw files for finishing and color correction since there weren’t any good tools back then. One of the things I built into the software as part of some experiments I was doing was the ability to selectively merge and omit frames from the conversion so that it was possible to shoot at a high frame rate but convert to a lower frame rate in a programatic way and to be able to control the amount of motion blur in the images. Around this time I heard that Doug Trumbull was wanting to resurrect ShowScan as a digital format as was considering the 65mm Phantom 65 camera to do it with. When I met him I let him know that he was going to need my software to do what he wanted and I ended up working with him for the duration of the project. One of the things that Doug wanted to do was to be able to selectively use different frame rates in a project - not just between different shots but actually within the frame. The idea is that the whole film would live in a 120fps container and different fragments could be at 24, 30, 60 or 120 within the frame. We did a lot of testing and experimenting, and produced a few short films — enough to learn that the use of high speed projection in a dramatic film would end up being used pretty modestly to not lose the actual feel of watching a movie. Ultimately nobody wanted to pay to do a major project in the formar. Maybe if we had kept at it a little longer Jim Cameron would have considered it, though I can’t image Jim and Doug working on a film together!
For those who are fascinated by storytelling and technology, I think you'll enjoy this video essay I put together over the past month about our relationship with frame rates, and the challenges filmmakers have faced with trying to push beyond 24 as the standard, often to negative if not mixed results...
It's wild to think that we've spent almost 100 years with movies at that same framerate, and it's interesting to think of how they may change, and what that might mean emotionally for us as audiences.
This is my first attempt at a YouTube video essay and I hope you enjoy!
