When somebody is burned and gets put out, you will usually see smoke in small places where you can't get a fog machine in. Or in a Airplane! With the smoking ticket, how do they do that effect?

  • Are you sure they can't get a fog machine in? Film and television crews can get pretty ingenious with stuff like that.

    You can pipe fog or smoke through pretty small tubes.

    This is a fair question, even if the answer seems a but obvious to some. The use of dry ice, fog machines, or other practical effects should be recognized within the context of this question.

In the past they probably had to get the fog on it, then film quickly.

My guess on the smoking ticket in the movie Airplane is that they probably had a thin sheet of dry ice inside the prop.

Today, it's probably mostly done with cgi, although some directors still favor physical effects wherever possible, since cgi can get a little boring once you can do anything with it.
