CITC's SnoBiz® is up for consideration for an Academy Award in the Scientific and Technical area.

SnoBiz® ciderhouse ruleshas floated next to many movie stars and worked with many movies, in theatres, TV, and live Broadway shows as a snow dressing and falling snow. Working with Academy Award winning Michael Caine of Cider House Rules, SnoBiz® was a solution. The problem with real snow is the difficulty in moving it, having it fall exactly where you want it, when you want to work and dissolve when the real snow dissolves. In order for the snow to look good on screen, it must be large enough for the camera to see it clearly, reflect enough light to make it stand out, yet be safe for the environment. SnoBiz® mastered all of those and more. By using a biodegradable material that dissolves on contact with water, this organic dry, lightweight material gently floated for the camera like soft snow flakes. Michael Caine

Spiderman, Narnia

SnoBiz® has been on the set with Robert Redford, Sylvester Stalone, Sharon Stone, Tobey Maquire, Kirsten Dunst, Superman Returns and many, many of the great movies and theatre you've enjoyed. SnoBiz® is made to be used over again. For snowy window dressing, this snow has traveled the world.

Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe releasing this month on DVD uses CITC's Little Blizzard® falling snow machine with Super Extra Dry Little Blizzard® fluid. By adding fans to blow the snow produced out of the Little Blizzard®, flakes of snow that would normally just fall because of water weight, become lightweight to float longer and stay airborne. Like magic, the floating flakes fly 2000% further taking up a huge area over 75' x 100'. "When you've seen the snow floating, you've found the magic."

Peter from Atlantic Coastal Effects has worked on many major motion pictures with J.C. Street now doing the special effects on Law and Order. "I think you ought to get an Academy Award for your Little Blizzard® SP (Sound Proof). I can have a few of these machines on a set and not have any mess to clean up, yet the director thinks I'm making magic happen with beautiful floating snow that's easy."

Combining all three elements to make this effect magical is the way to make it float further, last longer, and leave no residue when landing. The Little Blizzard® Dream Team is essentially everything you need to make this magical effect come to life. Featuring the Little Blizzard® SP w/DMX (now lower priced than w/o DMX), 3 - 5 gallon cubitainers (20 liters in a box) of Super Extra Dry Little Blizzard® Fluid, The Hurricane II (the quiet fan that throws the snow 80-100'), all of the c-clamps and safety cables (for hanging all of the items), a Universal DMX controller (for DMX control of the Hurricane II). "When you've seen the snow floating, you've found the magic."
