(Fireworks not firearms) Anyone have their shooters permit or going to get their shooters permit for the upcoming Forth of July show? How many Pyrotechnics are out there? I am looking into getting my Pyro certs this year and attend shooters school. Share some experiences, shows, and cool pictures.
Here is the company I am currently working with, taken in San Francisco last week. No Pyrotechnic license yet, but working on it. Our next big show will be in New York on the Fourth of July, with the barges on Hudson River. I hope you see it on TV! [ame]http://vimeo.com/42969389[/ame]
Sweet!!!! That is one of the most famous shows, what are you kidding, of course I am gonna watch it!!!!! I will be shooting a show in MO later in july… (shooting with a camera that is…)
So I'm shooting a wedding on Friday and another on Saturday. I'll take some video and post it for you.
I live in Florida we have firework grocery stores !!! Hell now there are Tents set up at all the major intersections as well.. I usually spend about $200 each New year and 4th of July..
This is the best we can do here in the city, have to special order the big stuff and it's illegal to launch anything in city limits, and with the fire restrictions...
I can buy that in the real grocery store LMAO http://www.galaxyfireworks.com/ http://www.skykingfireworks.com/our-products.html
We bury the "big guns" (8+") in the ground on a per show basis. 6" and less get put into racks: 6" Other various sizes and fan racks:
Do you also tie off the wires through a small hole at the top of the mortar tubes? I'd like to see your method.
Yes, we tie the e-match lead to a hole in the top of the motar tube, run it to the rail where it is attached to a predesignated cue. Then, the excess wire is bundled and twisted for easy removal at the end of the night.
Better picture: Your typical 3" rack. No angles. I love our system....so easy to set up and even easier to tear down at the end of the night.
Do your research online for display companies "in your area" (I know you live out in the boonies so there's no such thing) and contact them about taking a training course. The PGI is also good to look into (www.pgi.org) as a resource.
