The Snowcel System
Applying the snowcel with our specialized equipment
While snowcel is more stable than Snofoam which we offer as well (and lasts much longer) and can be used for detail dressing. It allows for advance dressing of large areas and makes good background white out. As it is a micro fine layer of white it registers as snow on roads, stone etc. Plus its washes away clean with water and brooms or ground covered is needed to have a membrane under the snow. On set it can be used to simulate falling snow, the dust content making it particularly good for 'heavy' blizzards.
Hollywood Movie Snow - A Christmas White-Out - Our Three Dimensional Display Flakes Snowcel, Which We Spray and Blow Into Place
Snowcel applied to an wooded area
We use biodegradable, recycled cellulose paper called snowcel to create a winter wonderland; this had been the standard for the Motion Picture industry. We have a variety of material that can be used to make Special Effects Snow look as you require. Snowcel paper snow of different particle sizes can be used on snow dressing for drifts, roofs, walls, windows, foliage, gardens, pathways, roads, cars, people and around any action. Snowcel can be colored to simulate beach sand, desert, areas damaged by fire, volcanic ash.
We can spray snowcel onto the top of automobiles, a building sidewall, a pitch roof or awning, really any surface can be designed into a winter snow look.
We blow this snow product into place using a blowing system that employs a pressurized mist to apply to the snowcel with just plain water as it’s only bonding agent. This makes the custom produced paper snow very stable and weatherproof. Which allows the snowcel spray to cover everything and can be bulked to show snow drifts or 4-8 inches of accumulation on car tops, roofs.

This ‘wet head’ is fitted to the end of the hose which sprays that fine mist of water onto the paper as it emerges, killing the dust for studios and creating adhesion. The snow is sprayed to give the movie set the look of winter is actually a fine mixture of paper and water called snowcel. We can create winter scenes in temperatures above 90-100 degrees.

For a Christmas white-out our product can clean up 98% with a hosing down and then a heavy rainstorm will remove the rest. On the left is after a wash down and right is after a rain storm.
The artificial snowcel products will ‘disappear’ when it rains, or more durable half cell / full cell fakes snow products that IS more weatherproof will stand up better to rain, but harder to washway. We can lay over the top of lawn or area Snow Blankets Membrane that is a thin white layer to spray on to guarantee to leave any location as found, like it never happened.
We use a very fine powered non-chemical cellulose snowcel product, is usually applied to rooftops, fields, buildings, roads, streets, trees and shrubs in the same blown and spray mist fashion to bond the snow. It can also be used directly on grass to give a frost look for close-ups or snow in the distance. Once applied, this product holds up extremely well to foot and automobile traffic and only needs occasional touch up and freshening. This product is often used for easy application and cleanup. Snowcel is quickly and easily removed to be recycled or disposed of safely, without the risk of creating toxic waste or biodegradability problems.
Snowcel Full size
is ideal for simulating settled snow and is designed for creating deep, heavy
drifted snow for areas where interaction is required, whether it is for tire
tracks, footprints, or a snowball fight. When larger areas are required for
coverage and a smoother surface is required, mixing SnowCel Half Size will
improve the texture.
The main factors that affects price is the area to be covered, the depth of snow required and the number of shoot days. Reduce any of these and you reduce the cost of the snow effects proportionally
