The best visual effects for music festivals
Going to a music festival is one of the best plans for the summer and surely for the rest of the year. Besides being a sound show, it can become a great visual spectacle with the staging of lights and visual effects that makes it a unique moment.
Why use special effects in a concert?
Surely you have heard many times about the retina effect. Well, this is the main purpose of using special effects in a concert .
The retina effect is based on the permanence of an image on the retina a few seconds after it has disappeared. When these images are presented continuously, the brain links them as a single continuous image, remaining longer in the memory.
Thus, when we associate such visual effects at a festival with an experience such as a concert, it generates a greater emotional impact and therefore the experience is much more vivid.
In other words, the special effects will give the concert more spectacle , making it enter not only through the ears, but also through the eyes.
Types of visual effects on stage
Nowadays we can find a multitude of types of special effects, but to give you an idea we are going to name the most outstanding ones worked by SpecialFx:
- Air effect : Having fans of large size and power , which generate air flow and a great atmosphere.
- Aromas : If you are looking to move the public to another place, the best option is a high-powered fragrance diffuser.
- Bubbles : Original and fun, imagine a concert full of giant soap bubbles .
- Curtain drops : They are usually perfect for concert closings, providing a grand finale thanks to the controlled curtain drop .
- CO2 machine : Better known as megatron effect . But do not stay only in the idea of the typical cannon that ejects CO2, today you have different formats such as manual guns, fans, massive tornadoes, shapes...)
- Confetti rain : It is usually an ideal finishing touch when in the middle of the concert we want to revive people or for the climax of the show, as the most successful song.
- Cold fire machine: One of the most sought after special effects thanks to the amazing visual impact it generates, for example like throwing fan flames in 5 directions at the same time.
- Smoke machine : Similar to C02, but not usually propelled, it generates a halo of smoke for a more intriguing atmosphere.
- Snow and clouds : If you want to recreate nature effects such as flying snow or clouds with original shapes , this is the perfect effect for your concert.
