How do movies make small places fog up
When somebody is burned and gets put out, you will usually see smoke in small places where you can't get a fog machine in. Or in a Airplane! With the smoking ticket, how do they do that effect?
Best Answer
In the past they probably had to get the fog on it, then film quickly.
My guess on the smoking ticket in the movie Airplane is that they probably had a thin sheet of dry ice inside the prop.
Today, it's probably mostly done with cgi, although some directors still favor physical effects wherever possible, since cgi can get a little boring once you can do anything with it.

Fill a metal or plastic container half full of hot water and add a few pieces of dry ice every 5-10 minutes. As the water cools, you will need to add more hot water to maintain the fog effect. As a rule of thumb, one pound of dry ice will create 2-3 minutes of fog effect.How do you create fog effect?
Sometimes filmmakers are adding fog/haze in order to achieve a creepy aesthetic. But fog/haze will also act as an in-air diffusion, spreading your light and carrying its color all through a set. It also adds dimension to your shot, softening the background and making the foreground subject appear crisp and sharp.Cinematic Lighting Tutorial - Lighting Small Spaces
