makn Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 i was if you have read Game of Thrones you know about the red priestess. You know how she can throw sparks and colored flames and do all theses tricks. Well how exactly do you throw sparks and make colored flames? What other cool tricks are there like this?
Mumbles Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just to point out, Game of Thrones is a fantasy novel and not always entirely based in reality. Typically this is done with a little handheld device. You can see a couple videos here: http://www.lemaitreltd.com/c/HAND-HELD-EFFECTS/25JKKXEKTpw It's a little electronic or flint striker device that lights up a small amount of flash paper. Flames from flash paper can be colored. Actual sparks would probably be done by adding a little bit of titanium or coarse mesh Al flake. If you actually pursue this, please do the testing from an isolated device. If something goes wrong, burns on your hands are some of the most painful and difficult to heal.
taiwanluthiers Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 It's entirely possible the effect is all CGI...
Arthur Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The stage pyro effect called a "Robotic" will throw a small jet of sparks, Le maitre do coloured flame jets. The clever/risky bit is getting them body worn. ALL burns hurt, career changing burns on stars cost a lot too. The cost and risk of failure is probably a good reason to go CGI.
BrainDamage Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 here is another place that sells the same type of stuff http://www.theatrefx.com/index.html
