Not much to say about this years show. It was hot and had too much rain. End result was the finest work so far. Enjoy.

DUDE! Great show! So jealous of all that room you have. Effects worked out great for where you put them in the script. Kudos!

Thank you Engineer Cat. Kind words. Our field is 500’ x 400’. Allows me to setup fireworks 325’ from crowd.

Thats what am talking about right there! Big family and friends getting all together and pulling off a show together. Its all about giving back and being with friends and family and friends on the 4th.

Great show!! wish I had that much space to play.

The lights, how are you controlling those? CRC?

Thank you sir. It’s become a big event for my small community.

My brother and I finance it. The rest of my crew is amazing. My 15 yr old wired this year.

Dmx lights on csc. I don’t do any visual software. I had flame machines too but lost them midway through. I found out today that I missed a pulse time in the script and they stayed on until the cans went empty.

With the fire machine you have to reset it every 10 mins

How did you script for each light?

I’ve been meaning to play with that

Did you change the A 001 numbers and match?

Could you post the script part of the light change please.

Super that’s what I was thinking

Fire machine on the ten and the lights are on the 11

I've done 3 shows with the lights. I have to say I love using them. This was my first time with the flame machines and I ran a full test on script about a month ago. Then I was coerced into adding the first intro song I used and stole a few firework cues from throughout the script. In their place i added dmx lights and flames. On the flames I forgot to put my .2s pulse time in. Resulted in the flames staying on until the spray cans ran out. Also the heat or overspray caught the ground on fire by the flame machine and melted the dmx cable. Crowd had no idea but its been quite the letdown for me. If you need anything on the lights just shout.

Honestly I've just never messed with it but was in the plan for next year. Ive been just doing one color change for the set of 8 or strobes. I really step up my game this year and didnt have the time to get into it to deep more then I already had done. Baby steps, I'll post my video as soon as it finished.

Thanks for the information am going to run with it next year.

Wow. Just freakin wow. Awesome show!! I loved the fact that you put the family and friends at the front of the video. After all, that's what this is all about, right? But the show was superb! I loved the effects. The fire machines. The lights. The choreography. Everything was fantastic!! That's going to be tough to beat next year!

Thanks Rick. I can’t stress enough about family and friends being a large part of the hell we go through to get this show done. I honestly think I can always do better and learn from every mistake to get a little better. But I appreciate you taking the time to watch and your feedback. It means a lot.

Very well done. Timing and product on point. Chinese flame machines can be dicey sometimes. I had one burn up this year. Im pretty sure it was close to having the cans let go. VERY hard to put out with water. ABC extinguisher next year lol

Your lights looked good!

I have to agree with everyone else excellent display. I loved that Kid Rock song in the beginning around 4:19 in . What system were you using and how many modules?
