I`m so glad that i`m living in Norway :lol: :lol:
Take a laserpen (5mW - 600mW) and point it up in the sky, and the police-man\random public dude only says "wow that is So cOoL" :P

That's what I was wondering about.Originally Posted by Buffo
At some point (when I have a bigger laser), I'd like to do a show at one of the major parties here on campus, which would likely involve a good chance of unterminated beams heading out low over metropolitan Boston.
Assuming I could get that cleared by the environmental health and safety people on campus, what kind of red tape would I have to untangle over at the FAA?
Unfortunately, lots. I've never done it, but the people I've spoke with that have all say that it's a monumental pain in the ass. And there's no guarentee that they won't change their minds and pull the plug on the show at the last minute either...Originally Posted by eric343
Have a look at this thread on alt.lasers for an idea as to what I'm talking about.
Also, DreamBeamz ought to be able to chime in here with the details surrounding his failed bid to display the Carolina Panther's logo on a building in downtown Charlotte, NC at night... (The CDRH didn't have a problem with it but the local airport did; ultimately they never could get permission to do it despite the fact that the beams were 100% terminated on the building.)
On the other hand, if you manage to get a CDRH variance beforehand, that might help matters. You might want to arrange a visit with the tower folks at the closest airport to your location and discuss the idea in the most general terms. Sort of feel them out for what they want or expect of such an outdoor laser show. Maybe you'll get lucky and they won't be a bunch of paranoid dickheads! But that seems to be the exception these days, not the rule...

Best way to get gigs, is to show people what you can do. So find out what events are happening, and make friends with the event organizers.Originally Posted by MechEng3
Tell them, I'm going to do you a favour, and enhance the visual aspects of your show by giving you a lasershow thats wroth $500 dollars, for free.
Do the show, impress the party goers and they will talk about it on forums and to friends.
Next time the promoter does an event, the likelyhood of him wanting lasers will be pretty high since that is what people were chatting about in the reviews; at that time tell him sure you'll do the laser show, typically it costs lets say $1000, but for you ill hook ya up half price
Not a good idea to do free shows to attract new customers. Sure, discount the equipment, but charge full price for your labor..Originally Posted by Evolve
