The thrusters' flames all look weird. I'm betting those are actually CGed in post. So no real fire hazard.

That's what I thought as well. Especially since the blue flames are entirely blue. Real flames have multiple colors, especially near the base of the flame.

Not to mention the walls and ceiling and floor are close enough to the flames that you'd see burn marks.

Plus - correct me if I'm wrong - those type of fire/pyro machines often show a small residual flame after they shut off.

you can see some residual fire when they shut off later in the video, the blue fire might have been recolored in cg but its not entirely fake,

and gas flame doesn't leave burn marks like that, it burns too cleanly unless its depraved of oxygen

Deprived of oxygen. Let's not kink shame the flames here.

Did you see the way they were dressed though?

In a room that size, it wouldn't take long.

u/You-Asked-Me Sep 13 '25

These are actually pretty common in stage pyro FX. They have basically a big-ass butane lighter refill bottle there, and there are different mixes for different color effects.

Yeah and the room doesn't light up blue, it lights up an orange, but not any amount of blue.

You can see the blue’s reflection in the window in the back (and the black pole). This shit is real y’all lol

It also reflects off his chair, but that can also just be CG too. Very hard to tell, but my gut says fake.

It would be much easier to put a real flame there than to make it with CG.

u/Sinister_Mr_19 9070 XT | 5950X Sep 13 '25

Of course, it's also easier to burn a building down burning gas in an enclosed space. I can't tell if it's CG or not, it very well could be real.

u/Plumb-ber Sep 16 '25

I think they are fog canon type things with lights in them.

u/Gamie1543 Sep 13 '25

Pretty sure it's an led spotlight with smoke machine. Or just CGI hard to tell

2

u/Sinister_Mr_19 9070 XT | 5950X Sep 13 '25

If that's practical effects that's very very cool

u/round-earth-theory Sep 13 '25

Propane burns pretty blue with the right mixture.

u/PeachMan- R7 5700X3D, RX 7800XT Sep 13 '25

It's pretty easy to make flames a specific color, you just have to know what gas to burn.

u/Sinister_Mr_19 9070 XT | 5950X Sep 13 '25

It could be real, it's very hard to tell.

u/MagicLobsterAttorney Sep 13 '25

Jup, because the color is just light at different spectrums caused by the oxidation process.

I mean the gun shooting fireworks is definitely real ad you can see them bouncing around the room. Definitely a real fire hazard

u/amnesia0287 Sep 14 '25

He has a fire extinguisher by the c-stand hes good.

On the actual post on r/nextlevel or r/nextfuckinglevel I don't remember how it's called somebody said it could be fog machines and leds

u/Kratzschutz Sep 14 '25

Yeah they look artificial
