Well guys heres a pic of my labor day show. Had to keep it small. I was in a neighborhood, set up in a retention pond area.
Had a 6ft fence between the show and spectators so i didnt shoot any fire balls..plus it was very dry... err on the side of caution when you are on someone elses property..lol
Had my cansister shells wired to hit 5 and 10 at time wired in series.
4 blue rush cakes firing 2 at a time wired parallel Had them faced forward and backwards to create a double fan effect that really covered a lot of sky.
Had a few cakes from jakes wired in parallel.
The show was about 4 minutes long...used a phandemonium cake and fused 25 mortars with fast fuse for a quick finally.
NOW FOR THE BEST PART
Had my girl video it and for what ever reason theres nothing but gray screen. I didnt even get to see my own show because i was about 10 feet from the site with a fire extinguisher to monitor for fires.

Just wanted to post the pic to show you guys how ive progressed since the 4th!! Thanks for all your videos, advice and tips!!

PS
The show was for my girlfriends boss'es party. His wife was in disaggreement about the show..afterwards she came to me and said.."I had no idea it was going to be like that. Im am truly impressed. I wish i still smoked weed and couldve watched it with a buzz."
Her boss said.."YOU ARE HIRED!!! I want to do a 10 minute show for christmas!! Ill pay for it all!! Just tell me what you need"

That stuff makes ya feel good after a show

Lol... All gray screen? Wow. Did she leave the lens cap on? That's too bad.

You really are progressing fast since we first spoke on here! Most impressive.

as far as Phantom stuff goes, I like that Phandemonium cake . I think that was the last item I bought from them.

Good call. I bought a SONY digital video camera a few years ago for my shows. I think it was like $250. Worth every penny. Even has a fireworks mode!

They weren't impressed. After it was all over, they were all smiling.

Nice small and quick setup. I like it alot. Even something small and simple can impress the most critical spectator. I have used an Ipad for one of my shows and it did great.

A good digital video camera is much cheaper than a new girlfriend too!! :rolleyes:
