LaserFireworksYellowThis show was a Laser Spectacles collaboration with Tres Steves and his fireworks crew including ace fireworks artist Jacob Dell of “Magic in the Sky”.  Held at the San Antonio Country Club, the entire 18th fairway was used for setting up fireworks, lasers, and tables and chairs for the 2000+ guests.

Tres put together a wonderful 20 minute soundtrack of popular and traditional favorites, including the “1812 Overture” finale.  He has thought long and hard about using lasers with his fireworks shows, and designed a color palette for the lasers to go with the music and fireworks.

We were able to faithfully reproduce his colors for this show using four RGB lasers deployed in a line between the fireworks firing zone and the audience.  We brought in substantial haze and fog machines to be sure that the laser beams would be visible overhead from the audience.  A couple of giant speaker systems from David Ramos and AV Source completed the setup for a great night of lasers, music, and fireworks.

The view from the audience

Actually, the fireworks show was extended for viewing at Fort San Houston – a duplicate set of fireworks was set up down the hill on another fairway for this. So the entire fireworks show was actually two identical fireworks shows happening simultaneously!
