3rd attempt at computer fire

700sf · November 3rd, 2009, 08:47 PM

I fired my 3rd computer fired show at our last MoPyro shoot and had Kevin13 helping with the set up. The show has 156 cues (which is just about max) 3 stations spread over 150' wide. There was one cake that blew up and another that didn't fire. With each show I keep on learning and I think that's what's keeping me so intrested in fireworks. When I purchased this system I thought I would be getting in over my head but so far I have taken it slow and learned quite a bit. Again I need to thank Nepyro for helping me with the software and answering some of those bonehead questions. By the way I went went a halloween theme:

First song - Ghostbusters
Second - Canyman theme song
Last song - Thriller

Product List:

Mines - CA,Grand Patriot
Comets - Dancing Comet
Fountains - Color Mania ( Thanks Joe for that find)
Cakes
Anger Managment
Speed Racer
Dancing with Devils
Comin@U
Thrillseeker
Assimalation
ThumpJunkies
Glorious (Waterfall) Thank You Murph
Rules of the Game
Big Dog
Purley Blue
Tuff Stuff
Gettysburg

I tried overlaying the soundtrack with the video in moviemaker. There's an echo so the regular video is located in my gallery.

I was expecting something very different from the thread title...

Nice show Scott...practice makes perfect.

nepyro · November 4th, 2009, 02:54 PM

Great show Scott!

unipyro · November 4th, 2009, 04:52 PM

parts i loved:

when he says scream and the firework whistles

the comets going to thriller

the finale at the end when everything went off at once

the rest was ok i guess

jk that was awesome

frogtoad25 · November 4th, 2009, 05:42 PM

Awesome Show! Great choice of effects and very nice set up. I'll echo what RPS said...great opening part to that song.

shrug · November 4th, 2009, 05:47 PM

Great show Scott. They just keep getting better and better. Keep em' commin'.

Chris...

Sonic Boom · November 5th, 2009, 08:14 AM

Way to go, Scott!

Pyro Nut · November 5th, 2009, 09:51 PM

Nicely done!
I loved the timing you had at the 4:00 mark when the song says, " You hear the door slam", and 2 salutes went off at that instant.

weatherman · November 5th, 2009, 10:20 PM

As Ron Weasley would say "BRILLIANT"

deano the pyro · November 5th, 2009, 10:21 PM

Good job man all the way around very impressive.

I was thinking the same thing when i saw the title of this thread but,now that I see what he was talking about I must say Great Job On the Show!

lamrith · November 6th, 2009, 10:25 AM

Awesome job!

chrisgou · November 6th, 2009, 02:46 PM

Hey Scott, which cake was the horsetails near the end? I've been looking around for something like that in class C for awhile now.

By the way, on a scale of 1-10 how happy with your ATF system would you say you are?

Thanks,
Chris

That was Waterfall by Glorious. It is available from Glitter Mountain and Patriotic.
I'm partial to Standard's Brocade Horsetails and Color Horsetails. Both are available from ATF.

chrisgou · November 6th, 2009, 03:53 PM

Thanks ar180b! I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a few

Still want to know Scott's thoughts on the ATF system...
