SEVEN barges and five buildings are being wired up to go off with a bang this Australia Day. Maria Noakes takes a look behind the scene.
Today Howards & Sons Pyrotechnics crews were busy setting up for the fireworks and laser spectacular that will light up the sky on Monday night.
The 30 minute extravaganza will be fired from 7 barges on the Swan River and 5 Perth City Buildings and will see over 20,000 pyrotechnic effects dancing in perfect synchronisation with a music soundtrack.
This pyrotechnic and laser show will require a team of eighteen experienced crew working for fourteen days to install, conduct and dismantle the display. Take a look at Australia Day 2009
A creative team of designers and programmers worked on the Skyworks display for 9 months.
Assisting the entire team to produce such as magnificent spectacle is state-of-the-art technology; seventeen computer controllers will be used to fire over 7,180 digitally synchronised cues to ensure every pyrotechnic effect bursts on the beats of the music.
