Welcome to steam special effects, a microsite about steam effects for film and tv. For cups of coffee or steam locomotives, we create realistic steam vapour effects with a mixture of safe steam systems. Our other microsites cover atmospherics, dry ice, fog, pyrotechnics, rain, smoke, snow, wind, practical and physical effects. Need more info? Just phone and ask! Jason Troughton 2011.
The Way Back directed by Peter Weir.Steam special effects for movies and television
Creating steam effects with a traditional boiler has many safety issues, including hot hoses and jets of scolding steam.
Traditional boilers are useful if you require a large volume of liquid such as a pool or a tank to be heated, but if there is action close by or actors are physically involved we use our cold water MEE steam system.
MEE uses filtered water pressurised to 1000psi to create steam special effects, which we sometimes combine with liquid CO2 or a quick dispersal smoke fluid. We used MEE extensively in the mine scenes in Peter Weir's 'The Way Back', and it gave fabulous results.
Not quite sure of how to achieve the steam effect you want? Ring one of the numbers at the top of the page and ask to be put through to Jason, who will be happy to talk through options and things you should consider.
At Agog we are extremely resourceful, creating imaginative special effects with attention to detail that is second to none.
