Special Effects
Zambelli Fireworks has more to offer than just fireworks and pyrotechnics. We have an array of special effects devices that might be ideal for your event. These devices can be used as stand-alone accents, audience attention-grabbers or combined with an outdoor or indoor fireworks display to create the ultimate dynamic presentation. Some of these items include:
Types of Special Effects
Confetti/Streamers
These are perfect for punctuating high points in a celebration especially where fireworks may not be an option. Graduation ceremonies, wedding receptions and Quinceañeras and other special events are perfect for confetti and streamers. The product is propelled safely from almost any location and greatly enhances the excitement of the audience. No permits are typically needed for this effect.
Sparks or Simulated Cannonfire
Stage performances can benefit many times from stage pyrotechnics. Zambelli Fireworks provides stage devices such as sparks, simulated gunshots or cannon fire, or other devices to enhance a performance. The Overture of 1812 played live with simulated cannon fire is a perfect example of this special effect.
Flame Effects
Pyrotechnic or propane flame projectors give an added dimension to your display or special event. We can produce columns of clean-burning, smokeless flames as well as large puffs of fireballs reaching 20 ft to 30 ft in the air. These flame units are ideal for team introductions, to start the big race, or to highlight a musical performance.
CO2 Cryojet Effects
These produce large plumes of dense, white smoke that disappears almost immediately. The smoke is odorless and leaves no residue. These devices are perfect for player entrances and venues where pyrotechnics are not an option.
Fog/Smoke
Another special effect is fog machines or pyrotechnic smoke. Fog is typically used for indoor venues where the pyrotechnic smoke can be created in greater quantities for outdoor events. Nearly any color of smoke is available. Smoke can be used to create a dramatic backdrop, to create a smoldering fire effect or simply as a unique way to simulate a fuse burning that starts your large fireworks display. Fog and smoke often achieve maximum impact when used in combination with laser and light displays.
Strobe Effects
Strobes can set the mood and create a feeling of anticipation leading up to your grand display or presentation. Strobes can be created in a variety of colors and durations. They provide an extremely bright flickering flame effect.
Line Rockets
Imagine a rocket screaming through the air leaving a trail of bright, shining sparks. The rocket path is precisely controlled and can even be used indoors. It's a truly unique effect that can be used to simulate the beginning of your fireworks display, the beginning of a concert or main event.
