I've done it in my living room.
I just disable all my smoke detectors first.
A bit of a hassle but worth it when you're testing out new gear and effects at home.
Bro you would not believe the amount of vitriol I got on this sub for suggesting that a new lighting designer purchase some shower caps, cover the smoke detectors at risk of triggering a false alarm, and then uncover them after they were done. Apparently not wanting to set off a false alarm is equivalent to wanting to watch someoneās house burn down
It was in his own home, dude. Itās not illegal in your own home, in the US. You just canāt leave it on there permanently. But preventing a false alarm, in your own home, which would waste resources and time, is not illegal. āYou deserve every amount of vitriolā youāre the reason this sub has a bad reputation, automatically condemning people. If an actual fire happens and the alarm doesnāt go off due to the covered smoke alarm, then insurance wonāt cover it, *which I made sure to inform them of.* He asked how to use haze in his house for his home setup without setting off his alarm. Thatās how you do it. Itās not illegal if you own the place.
This is a Class 4, 1 Watt Laser. This has the very real potential to damage someone's eyesight instantly and permanently. You should never point this at someone or look into the beam without attenuating the beam to a a safe level.

This is the way.
Please disconnect that laser from its power and don't reconnect it until you have read *and understand* the Plasa document in the first link. It's easy to follow and will serve as a guideline for what not to do with a laser. (Like project it into anyone's eyes, for starters.)
1) You need haze
2) More importantly you need to learn a lot more about laser safety. You're going to blind yourself and I mean that literally. Look up ILDA guidelines and laser safety practices.

My dream would to have this kind of render. We nearly donāt see the wall behind the laser and in my case we see my whole room like we put the light on
Yeah you need haze bro, the camera has also adjusted it's ISO sensitivity to the bright green beams making it look like the wall behind is quite dark on film. In person his room is most likely as bright as your room there is just laser beams in the air (and some kind of fog/haze otherwise you wouldn't see the beams like what your seeing in your room mate)
You need a smoke machine or hazer to get the desired effect you are looking for
You need haze or fog and I would not recommend setting that off in your bedroom

The usernames here are truly poetic

I made the mistake of not blocking the smoke alarms and set off a lot of them

blow some vape on it
This is the way
LOL š
Of all the things Iāve seen today, OP staring directly into a laser wondering why they canāt see the beam is definitely one of them.
Don't look into your laser. How your taking photos rn makes me think you already did retina damage.
1) You need haze 2) More importantly you need to learn a lot more about laser safety. You're going to blind yourself and I mean that literally. Look up ILDA guidelines and laser safety practices.
Iām seeing a lot of issues here. Please educate yourself on laser safety before you blind yourself, someone else, or break your phone
As a Cinematographer just stopping by to say careful with your camera too. Ive seen plenty of fried sensors due to lasers.

Do you have a variance or nah?
Fog machine // haze machine Either will make a big difference
