Videos from 2005 that demonstrate the system in action.
The live action videos are courtesy of Lucas Myer . He is apparently unaware that photographing fireworks is supposed to be difficult. He makes it look easy. You can see more of his stills here .
This is a video screen capture of my simulation software for an important element of the show. Please forgive the slight jumps in the video/audio, that is an artifact of the screen capture process. It isn't there otherwise.
For months I was telling people "The audience is going to gasp, right here."
I was right! Here is the same section of the show in reality.
Note: I rarely try to simulate a particular shell. I use the simulation for timing, pacing, and sizing of shells. In some cases, Red/White/Blue, Gold Willow, Mines, etc., I'll insist on a particular shell at a particular cue. In this video only the cake really mattered, everything else was just assorted.
Enjoy.
