What is a Wind Machine fan?

A fan or wind machine is a mechanical device designed to direct and control airflow within a production environment. These machines are available in various formats, including:
- Stage fans, which create movement in hair or fabrics for live performers
- Axial and centrifugal wind machines, used to simulate strong gusts or storm effects
- Low-noise fans, ideal for use on camera in film and television
- DMX-compatible models, enabling precise control through cue-based operations
Widely utilised in concerts, touring events, theatrical productions, and studios, these tools enhance scenes by introducing dynamic energy and visual realism.

Why and When Should You Use a Fan or Wind Machine?

Wind machines are essential when your production calls for naturalistic motion or enhanced atmospheric visuals. Key use cases include:

Live concerts and music videos – Create on-stage motion or highlight costumes
Theatre and immersive shows – Simulate wind, storms, or magical effects
Film and studio shoots – Add gentle breeze or dramatic blasts of air
SFX setups – Distribute fog or haze more evenly across a scene
These machines are especially valuable when used alongside fog machines or haze units to maximise the spread and direction of particles, helping fill the space and increase the impact of lighting.

How to Use a Fan or Wind Machine in Your Setup

Fans and wind machines are essential tools for creating dynamic, immersive effects in professional productions. Use them to:
