Outstanding job Scott!!!

I love the timing and the attention to the rhythm and the lyrics......... scream, door slam etc.

I never get tired of watching this stuff. Can't wait for the next one!!

Very nice job. The thriller opening was spot on.

That was another amazing and impressive show, Scott.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the system. All I had to buy was 1 M156 module and the CIM module and poof i'm digital. There's nothing to the firing software. All the work goes into finding your music and creating your .csv file.

Ahh Willi never short on the sarcasm. I just don't feel right calling these shows pyromusicals therefore computer fired shows they are. LOL

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. When doing timed firing of class C, how does one typically fuse?

Do you remove the provided leader fuse and replace with something that guarantees a more precise firing? Or do you attach your ignition source to the cake's existing fuse and just get good at timing the time between "fire" on the ignition panel and the firing of the first effect from the cake?

The fuse is removed and a commercial e-match is placed in the lift charge.

If you are using a clip igniter or other the best you can do is place the clip onto the fuse close to the mortar to minimize the delay.

I agree... However, what makes it harder is that you can never really rely 100% on the timing of each cake. There's always some difference between shots, etc. in my opinion.

Sometimes makes you want to upgrade to class B

Of course, not all of us can afford the permits, insurance, products, shoot site, space for a mag...

A person can still put on a great class C show though. Just takes a bit more effort, experience, and luck

Scott did a lot more then start cakes at the same time. There is a lot of modifying and a lot of matches used to do a show like Scott did.

D. All of the above
