ESTA Makes Revised Fog Effects Standard Available for Public Review

Stage Directions: "BSR E1.23 - 200x, Entertainment Technology - Design and Execution of Theatrical Fog Effects, is available for public review at http://www.esta.org/tsp/documents/public_review_docs.php through 9 November 2009. The BSR E1.23 project is a revision of the existing ANSI E1.23 - 2006 standard, which offers advice on the planning and execution of theatrical fog effects using glycol, glycerin, or white mineral oil fogs or mists in theatres, arenas, and other places of entertainment or public assembly. The revision project is (1) to change the list of fog chemicals in the scope to better match those chemicals normally used in theatrical fog effects, and (2) to better define the qualifications of those in charge of designing and executing the effects."

i am happy that esta is re-looking at there standards on for effects. i think since they lest did there standards on fog effects the equipment has change and goten better and easer to use and i think that they should have to do this type of thing every few years because the theater is always changing and new technology is all was be invented and brought into the theater and make the experience better and if esta re looks at the standers then the theater will get better and better.
