We present the trade demonstration - which
mostly consisted of professional (category 4) fireworks -
in the same format they were fired. Kimbolton's extensive
range was spread over eleven sequences each a mix of various
effects, capped with a finale sequence.
Each sequence is presented with full details
of the product names, types, bore sizes, manufacturer's codes
and Kimbolton product numbers to enable trade members to quickly
identify products of interest. Each full sequence can be downloaded
as a video clip and individual items are shown with video
stills plus long exposure pictures.
Please note:
Products can display significant difference in colour between
each type of medium. This is normal due to the different ways
that a digital CCD and 35mm film record colour. In addition,
the 35mm pictures were scanned from prints, which adds a further
stage were colour balance can be changed. Typically, silver
and green effects often appear gold or yellow in 35mm. The
video is the best indication of actual colour. Some effects
however translate poorly to video and stills including gold
willow, brocade, palm and other effects; as a result some
of the finer effects can look poor.
Scale: All shells on video were filmed at
the SAME scale (fully zoomed out); some ground based cakes
and candles were zoomed in. All long exposure digital and
35mm pictures are NOT to scale and have been cropped where
appropriate.
All items listed in the format: KF description
- Manufacturer code - Firework type - KF item number.
If you were present at this demo and have a firing list, please
note that some items have been dropped, typically those for
which we did not obtain any useful footage or pictures.
