Special effects equipment: fake snow, artificial snow

The fake snow, artificial snow and liquid snow are all part of the Special Effects Equipment CITC manufactures. The Little Blizzard snow machine is the most popular snow machine in the world. It has the ability to last longer, make bigger and better snow, and be quieter than any other snow machine on the market today. The liquid for making this snow is shipped all over the world.
Also the fake snow flake called SnoBiz® comes in 3 varieties: SnoBiz Closeup snowflakes, Snobiz Regular snowflakes, Snobiz Fine snowflakes. Each snow flake box is either a large compressed 10 cubic foot box or a smaller 5 cubic foot box.

Fake snow flake with the Little Blizzard

Our fake snow flake is designed to look, fall and even melt in your mouth. Made from rice and wheat gluten, it is safe if stuck in your mouth and melts just like snow. It’s also been tested and approved for use in forests by USDA.
Used on many feature films, this fake snow gives the best show. It shows up on film better than real snow that is falling due to size and color. A combined fake snow flake and the Little Blizzard snow machine with liquid snow for generating a falling snow flake has been hailed the “best I’ve ever seen.” By Tony Roberts, Director.
30 of CITC's snow machines, fans and extra dry snow fluid were used for this year's Snowflake Lane show in Bellevue, WA. Generating excitement with all of this floating fake snow created energy for tired shoppers and merchants and increased crowds for business.

Special effects for shows

Gary Crawford worked on many motion pictures making special effects for shows like E.T., 2010 A Space Odyssey, Highway To Heaven with Michael Landon, Friday the 13th part 7, Halloween III, and so forth. The Crawford’s' company, CITC Special Effects Equipment in Everett, WA, USA also is believed to be the only firm that makes fake snow that is biodegradable, as well as more realistic than some competing products. 30 of CITC's snow machines, fans and extra dry snow fluid were used for this year's Snowflake Lane show in Bellevue, WA. While providing snow machines and fog machines for films such as "Narnia," "Spider-Man 2" and "Lord of the Rings" is the glamorous side of the business, CITC's products are used in a range of other places. Their snowflakes used in shopping centers dissolve on contact. Another of CITC's snow products is a special wheat and rice gluten-based flake that's been deemed environmentally safe by the U.S. Forest Service. Unlike older plastic flakes, CITC's snowflakes won't harm actors if they are accidentally inhaled. They're also easy to clean up with water. That's unique among snow makers. TheEdmonds couple recently went to a multiplex to check out their product's look in "Narnia," which was filmed in New Zealand. Their verdict? Stephany Crawford said she is biased, but she was impressed as she watched the white

Special effects in movies

Gary Crawford, who grew up in Southern California, had years of practice with special effects before launching his own business. He learned the special-effects trade through an apprenticeship program with Hollywood's movie studios. He tells stories about being on the set of 1967's "Camelot" with leads Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave. From there, he worked on many movies through the 1970s, and met Stephany while working on effects for "Raise the Titanic." One of his biggest breaks came a couple of years later when he was summoned to work on "E.T.""I originally was called to make the finger glow," he said. He ended up helping on a range of the movie's "physical effects," from making E.T.'s heart glow to making young Elliott and his friends appear to fly above the trees on their bicycles. The Crawford’s' inventiveness hasn't stopped.

The Hurricane II Wind Machine creates the largest wind effect, carrying snow from the Little Blizzard or Snobiz product almost a hundred feet without exceeding 120vac. Amperage. Fast, quiet and adjustable, these fans create the big wind where you want it. Hurricane II is focused wind at high speed.

The pump can be placed several hundred feet away, yet feed 25-56 nozzles to create great fog that is precisely controlled with the power on/off quick response. Instantly starts or stops on cue, and can be powered on and off repeatedly. You can request regular, fine or super fine nozzles.
