Pyrotechnics, petrol and high performance cars filled Acer Arena this month, when the high octane, turbo-charged Top Gear Live performed in Sydney.
The audience was treated to a spectacular display of stunts, precision driving and special effects, with the high energy event including over 100 cars, supercars and modified vehicles. To add an extra injection of excitement, ShowFX were on hand to deliver flames and special effects to the show. From flaming cars to large explosions of pyrotechnics, the audience was constantly entertained and surprised.
Hosts of the British Top Gear team, Jeremy Clarkson and James May, delivered their renowned and irreverent humor to eight performances over four days. Supported by Australian Supercar driver, Greg Murphy, the trio packed a testosterone fuelled punch, showcasing some of the most impressive luxury vehicles available.
Delighting the crowd even further, The Stig made a special appearance for a world first indoor loop the loop in a buggy. Audience members were lucky enough to receive a full back of house tour of the vehicles and the show. Although it’s another year until the thrills and spills will be back, we’re already revved and ready to go for Top Gear Live in 2011.
The 2010 Australian Open took a break to enjoy Australia Day Celebrations across Melbourne and who provided the fireworks? None other than yours truly, ShowFX. Enjoy the show!
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.
ShowFX reinforced their reputation as one of the world’s leading pyrotechnic and special effects companies, taking home 2nd place in the Fiori di Fuoco - the World Championship of Fireworks.
Held against the beautiful backdrop of Italy’s Santa Maria, a provence in Verbania, the 11th annual championships included high quality competitors from China, Venezuela, Austria and Canada along with Australia’s own, ShowFX.
The skipping girl, one of Melbourne’s iconic sights, was turned on in style with the help of ShowFX.
With an impressive pyrotechnic display, the Skipping Girl, or “Little Audrey” as she is affectionately known, was officially back in her Abbotsford home after a 10 year absence.
Restored with the help of public donations along with AGL, the National Trust & Heritage Council and the Melbourne Heritage Council; Little Audrey will be powered by green electricity and is expected to light up the sky for at least another 20 years.
If Jessica Mauboy’s performance at the Logies contained a little bit more spark than other acts, it may have been because of the special effects added to her show.
Maubouy, who performed her hit ‘Been Waiting’, began the song to a dazzling light and pyrotechnic display. ShowFX started with Mines on the Crown roof top and transformed her in to the room for the remainder of her performance using Silver Jets.
Whilst Australia may have missed out this time round, Iron Maiden paid a visit to the land of the long white cloud in February. With sold out shows in both Auckland and Christchurch, all us Aussies could do is live vicariously through our New Zealand cousins.
February saw Fall Out Boy embark on its largest Australian tour, taking in shows in Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide. As Australia’s most experienced touring pyrotechnic company, ShowFX were along for the ride.
We can only assume that Sydney didn’t know what it was getting itself into when it secured the contract to host the Australian leg of Top Gear Live. From the 5th - 8th of February, Acer arena was turned upside down with the arrival of Top Gear UK hosts, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. In the absence of their other partner in crime, James May, Top Gear Australia host, Steve Pizzati was along for the ride.
ShowFX celebrated a balmy Australia Day with 5 massive fireworks show across Melbourne! From Altona to Nunawading (and everywhere in-between) we lit up the night skies with an array of colour that could be heard for miles.
