Rural Saw Mill

12/2/2016

Trying to decide on the next video is nearly always a struggle!
I've got a few ideas and on the main page of this website I have a pole where you can make suggestions which is a big help.
At this stage I'm planning to film a video and add live smoke to a building, the building of choice at this stage is the Woodland Scenics Rural Saw Mill.

It's only a very small kit, which makes it perfect for filming a tutorial on. I'm yet to do a commercial kit tutorial but with the added effect of live smoke I think this will turn out quite good.
The plan is to add this detail to the "Realistic Scenery Vol 4" diorama and have it protruding out of the shed slightly with the smoke emanating out from the small chimney.

I'm still throwing ideas for the smoke around? Of course it has to be safe and contained to prevent igniting the rest of the layout!
Thus far I'm working with incense sticks contained in a heat proof container and I'm also looking into the dry ice option however dry ice tends to act like fog and sits on the ground rather than dissipate into the atmosphere.
I guess well have to do some experimenting! I'm looking forward to this tutorial and I'm hopeful that it works as planned.

Future plans:

In the upcoming months I'll be working on a new eBook about getting the most from static grass.
It's only a short 30 page eBook but it will be packed full of tips on using a static grass applicator to get the most out of you scenery!
Once complete this book will be available to purchase or if you become a patron it will be available to read depending on your level of support.
In the mean time, if you want to learn how to build your own static grass applicator and make home made static grass tufts you can check out the tutorial here:

Automation Setup

Iron's “Automation” feature allows you to easily change the video background of the “Iron” page layout and the 3 text elements that lay on top of the video background.

Video Background URL

To change the video background on the "Iron" page layout, add the URL of a video to the input box below. You can use the URL of a video hosted on another server, or upload a video to your Weebly site by going to “Theme>Edit HTML/CSS>ASSETS>Videos”, click the gear icon, and then select “Upload File(s)...” to upload a video from your hard drive (e.g., /files/theme/videos/paint.mp4). The video format must end with “.mp4” and make sure to set the Theme Option "Video" to "Custom" to use your own video.

Video Background Text Input

To change the text that appears on top of the video background, add your text to the input boxes below.

Note: You can hide this box under "Theme>Theme Options>Automation [Editor Only]".
