    Helium can be so much fun! We used to use heliox, a mix of O2 and helium at work for people with respiratory obstructions to get the O2 past spasms. We nurses would always take a little sip. We were a warped bunch.

    Have really appreciated your videos and tips!

    Happy Holidays and thanks for the smile!

    That chromakey setup looks pretty $ophisticated. Is that a home studio?
