Flame effects bring the stage to life
Melbourne and Sydney this week played host to ‘Slayer’ with old rock and roll at its best. ShowFX lit up the stage providing two, three metre long flame bars that stretched across the Marshall speaker stacks either side on the stage.
A huge challenge for the team was that most of the venues were not arenas, however with lots of research and additional efforts for some extra risk management, ShowFX were able to determine the maximum heat generated by our flames to ensure the venues were not going to be flooded with water by automated sprinkler systems!
The Slayer Coat of Arms
The top of the flame bars we adorned with a Giant Eagle displaying the Slayer ‘coat of arms’ with a flame bar across a sword, and a burst of flames that went along the sword and up the centre of the giant eagle. This was built to impress the 1000’s of fans around Australia as well as be installed in less than 10 minutes! As Slayer were a headline act, the stage had to be reset after a support act in just 30 minutes. In this time, the flaming eagle measuring 2.0m high by 1.8m, weighing 500kg needed to be wheeled on to stage, have the motor chains connected and flown up with all electronics and gas systems attached but ShowFX were up to the task.
