Answers – Fireworks Displays
How much does an average show cost?
Every show has different specifications, we do not put a price on “an average show”. We customize every show to fit each venues individual needs. Small shows can start at $5,000 and larger shows could exceed $30,000. The deciding factors in determining the cost of your show will be the size, quality and type of shells being used. As well as, the length of the show, electronic or hand firing, music and/or choreography. For detailed decription Professional Fireworks Display
How long is the average show ?
15-20 minutes is the typical length of an average show. The key factors involved in the show length are your budget, or more specifically, how many firework shells/effects you are purchasing and the amount of time in between each. We will always recommend a shorter show duration time that has a steady firing of shells and effects over trying to extend the time by dragging out the show with lots of “black space” in between. We believe that the overall WOW factor of an expertly designed display is more important than how long it lasts.
How far in advanced should we start planning for a show ?
The more time that we have the better your display will be. Some of our largest displays have given us up to two years of planning time: which allowed us to custom order and custom build fireworks to make a display that is incredibly unique and unforgettably spectacular. However, we have been able to provide displays with as little as 10 days notice, however, this can only happen if the authorities that issue permits are willing to issue permits with a lot less than the desired amount of notice. Typically completing the contract 3 or more months before the display date is desirable.
What do you need to know about the shooting location ?
Fireworks can be safely fired from many locations, such as open fields, building tops, parking lots, bodies of water, etc. Although some locations are better than others, all locations need an area that can be secured to shoot the fireworks from, as well as an area for the audience. The basic rules include a minimum distance from the fireworks to the spectators, with smaller fireworks requiring less distance, and larger fireworks requiring more distance. Please contact us so that we can have one of our certified operators help you to select and evaluate your site.
Will there be an inspection of the launch site ?
Yes. In order to plan a safe display best suited to your location, Atesleyici Fireworks Team will visit your site before the show to view the lay of the land and measure distances between the show set-up area and the crowd line.
What about permits ?

What kind of insurance is needed ?

Laser Light Show FAQ
What are the main kinds of laser effects used in light shows ?
There are two main classes of laser effects, beam effects and screen effects. In a beam effect, the laser beam traveling through the air creates the effect. A screen effect is any image or optical effect that requires a screen or other projection surface to be visible.
What kind of beam effects can I see at laser shows ?
There are two main types of beam effects, static and dynamic. Static beams are usually turned on an off and may be bounced from mirrors to create a beam matrix or sculpture in the air. Dynamic beam effects are moving beams that may include sheets, fans, cones or blades of light moving above and through the audience.
Why don't I see a lot of beam effects at some shows ?
Some shows are designed to be graphics and animation intensive and some shows are designed to have lots of beam effects. Beam effects take more laser power to project so some venues do not use them since their lasers are not powerful enough. I n other cases the venue does not have the clearances or permits needed for safe projection of beam effects.
When you see laser animations at shows do they just scan the pictures in ?
In traditional character animation each picture has to be individually hand drawn (digitised) usually from artwork prepared by an animator. The images (frames) are then played back in rapid succession creating the illusion of movement just like a classic Disney movie or Saturday morning cartoon.
Do I need to prepare an installation record for every show I perform?
It is wise to keep and have to hand written documentation of the laser system.
