So, you have the gig planned out, the customer has accepted your contract, and you begin trucking in your equipment for the mobile setup. The "Facility Rep" then tells you you cannot run a fog/hazer because, "it will set off the smoke detectors."
I can understand the point from a major brand-name five star hotel not wanting to explain to their guests that "no there isn't a fire, just a wedding in our main hall"
Is any one else as frustrated as I am with this? I have never set off smoke detectors when they have been there because I don't "over-Fog". I have considered a hazer, but if they say no to fog, they say no to haze.
Any solutions? Normally, it is not feasible to pre-test the venue to see what will happen, and if you ask in advance, they don't know the answer, so they just say "no fog".
