Hey guys, heres my first bash at doing a propper show (a private one).

Appologies for the poor video quality, I didnt have time to set up my HD cam and so this came off people's phones. The facebook one is better, but for those not on, here's youtube's version:




Last November (UK Guy Fawkes night) I'd spent months putting together my own little pyromusical and laser show, unfortunately it never came off thanks to bad weather on the night. Well those fireworks have sat in storage until April 10th when I was finally able to let it go.

The show was originally 12 minutes but on the last song we had a system failure which meant no climax and more than 50% of the stuff throughout didn't fire either at all, or on time. Was still incredible fun putting together and watching it.

Lessons learned:
1. Allow more time for setup!
2. Test everything twice, before show day!
3. Never let inexpirienced friends offer to help with igniters, no matter how kind and generous they are.
