Multiple Firing Location
One of the best ways to keep your audience interested in
your show is by firing your show from multiple position throughout an area.
By using this technique it will help keep your audience in suspense, of not
knowing where something will be coming from. To use this techniques
properly there are a few criteria that need to be met, to make sure that it works
properly.
What You Need
First, you need to have a large field or area to display your fireworks, a
backyard won't be enough space for this to work really nice. Secondly you
need to have more than one person lighting the fireworks. If the area is
large enough and you have a lot of items you are going to get tired from
running all over trying to light everything. Try to divide the area up into
sections and assign a person to each section. By assigning a person to each
section this will help cut down on
time between items, and not wear you out as quickly. Lastly you need to have
stakes to secure the different items, chances are if you are going
to do this you are going to be in a field and having to carry rocks or bricks
to secure items will tire you out very quickly. The best things to use are
rebar and wooden stakes
Firing Order
The firing order is crucial also for the success of this
technique. Try not to get into a set pattern like going around or from left
to right or any other type of A, B, A, ... or A, B, C, D, A, ... That will
make where you are setting of the next item predictable ruining this effect.
Also try to mix up the type of items that are shot from different
areas. I saw this technique being used when I helped my employer set off a
show for his church. The show being shot at different distances and area
seemed to really please the crowd.
Type of Items
You are need to be careful of what items you are picking out for your show
depending on the topology of the land. If there are small ridges or gullies
try not to put fountain items in the gullies and on the ridges. Aerial items
like mortar shells, large cakes can be place everywhere. Also as a general rule you want to have low level
items towards the front of the area of where you are setting items off at,
the front is defined as the area closest to your audience.
