Applications of MA0510-PURPLE purple smoke

The MA0510-PURPLE Smoke Canister can be used during legal photo shoots, film productions, advertising campaigns, automotive sessions, outdoor events, artistic projects, staged scenes and special-effects productions.

The purple smoke cloud works well as a standalone visual effect or as a contrasting background for a person, vehicle or product. It can add depth, mystery and a modern character to fashion, automotive, artistic and night-time projects.

Purple smoke or a purple flare – what is the difference?

The MA0510-PURPLE is designed mainly to create a larger purple smoke cloud. A flare or signal flare produces intense light and a flame, while smoke is only a secondary effect.

If you want to fill a larger part of the scene with colour, choose the purple smoke generator. If you mainly need a strong point of light, explore the flares and signal products available at PiroHiT.
