Guys! Thank you for your advice. Here's the end product. The fog came out pretty realistic:

We shot with the Arrid Spray, and it's come out decently. I'll be posting the video up very soon! :D

I just bought a can of Arrid Extra Dry and tried it on my mirror. The result is PHENOMENAL! You guys are geniuses. Thank you so much for your help. You're right about the powder piling up a bit, but I'm thinking one way around it would be to keep it extremely tight on a profile shot of his finger writing, and on the wide shot that reveals whats written, i'll wet a Q-Tip and clean out the text so that you don't see any powdery build-up. Also, the powder isn't so bad, as it looks like frost. And it helps that the powder is white, because it really picks up light very well. You guys are amazing! Thank you! :)

Hey Stuart, Thanks for the prompt response. I tried that earlier today at home, but the steam disappeared in less than 30 seconds. Anything we can mix into it to make it stay longer and/or more visible? Oil? Coloring? I will try it again right now and let you know. Thanks again :)

Hi there, My first post here! :D I'm shooting a scene on Wednesday where the script involves two characters on two sides of a window pane, and one of them writes a romantic message on the fogged up glass (See image below). 1) This is not the right forum for this, but - does anyone know how to create and ensure sustainable fog on the window? 2) How do we light this so that the text is clearly visible on screen? Do we backlight it, or do we light it from the front, so that the frosty fog is visible, leaving the gaps created by the writing dark, and thus easy to read? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)
