Personally I think the Valencians/Maltese etc have daylight pyro down to a fine art : )

This video is really worth a watch, particularly the front of timed ground salutes towards the end:

They had a daylight intro display at Shugborough last year with lots of parachutes, smokers, flags, etc and it wasn't really to my taste. Not nearly enough salutes and not a single smoke shell : (

Cai Guo Qiang has done some very interesting daylight works, look him up if you haven't heard of the man.

Here are a few of his 'black rainbows':

Very nice, I like Daylight displays a lot (more noise :-) ) and we have done a bit, last one was this years Chinese new year in Leicester square, here's a spectators video of it and yes it was LOUD!

Chinese new year

We also did a mini daylight show in Brighton once with loads of Chinese cracker rolls and tit salutes.

I really must get over to Valencia sometime!

Has anyone come across smoke fountains? I tried a You Tube search, but drew a blank. Basically, think a fanned fountain with smoke . The big disadvantage is the wind- pretty much any smoke effect could be victim to the wind, though.

The only smoke effects I've seen commercial available are singles.

Last thing you need is for your foil confetti to look like a Russian MiG

hey you never know... some of the new stuff out of china might look like a pile of tin foil, and fly like it too. my suggestion for a daytime aerial effect is to make a standard aerial shell, but in the place of stars, put tiny plastic bags full of a liquid propellant like kerosene. i image a giant ball of burning kerosene projected outward across the sky would look quite stunning. there would obviously be a huge increase in 'potential danger' you would have to keep in mind, for example a late break would set everything beneath it on fire... vigourously. maybe over water...

May as well make a lampare.

How about a Lampare shell of shells

[Mumbles]

I've seen lampare rondelles. Very interesting.

Actually, one of the cooler things I've seen recently is the lampare pistil on round "double petal" shells. The lampare is the inner petal in a way.
