Some videos of this years show.

This is probably the best angle to take in the whole show, but the memory card filled up with about 1 min to go in the finale. This was also a cheap HD cam and the focus was off for some of the show.

This is a little closer position showing the second half of the show with the whole finale.

This was shot with a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition pointing straight up beneath the show. Go to 15:35 for the start of the finale.

The show was fired using 5 Cobra Firing System 18M modules, 4 parallel slats, and an 18R2 remote. Scripting was done in Cobra Show Creator. Most of the products shown are from Wholesale Fireworks in Hubbard, Ohio and Wayne's World Fireworks in Bowling Green, Indiana.

It looks like a large display. Was there a special occasion on this property or just an annual event? Was this your display?

This was my display for our annual family reunion on the 4th. In the past we had bought retail and hand lit everything, but after watching your videos and doing some research, we bought wholesale this year and got setup with a Cobra system to fire it all. Since this was the first year for this large of a display, a lot of time was spent planning and building all new racks, etc, but it was worth it.

In the eight minute and 44 seconds video was that Aquarian between 3:00 and 3:30?

If you are saying that is your first time to go from hand firing to scripted e firing with five cobra modules and four slats, that is an incredible jump up in quality, technology and creativity! Fantastic job.

I think that is battlefield during that time.

I shot Aquarian off at the same time as binary star starting at 2:35 in the first video. The two on each end are Aquarians with 2 binary stars in the middle.

There was definitely a steep learning curve but that is part of the fun. I would love to get my type 54 for next year but I'm afraid the insurance requirement for a display permit in Indiana (even for a private show apparently) would inhibit me from ever getting to shoot off what I buy.
