Sophomore show July 4th, 2020

[N.E. Pyrotechnics]

Like the title says, this was our second "show". The first show was ok, but I had blown the ending by missing a cue early in the program. So if nothing else I was looking for a little redemption...
The day had nearly record heat and humidity. We started loading boards into vehicles at around noon. Everything went well with setup. We had about a half hour that we were watching an isolated shower look very menacing, but stayed to our east. Set was wrapped up about 2 hours before shoot time.
Unfortunately, the video got taken with the ISO on the camera cranked up. I did what I could to try to make it watchable without looking over-processed.
Would love to hear any feedback, suggestions, or constructive criticisms.
Thanks for watching!

that was great... it definitely makes life alot easier to do all cakes... but some shells mixed in does add another layer.. i really liked the products you have... what was that finale cake with the red and bluish/green tails up to breaks... that one was awesome!!!... great job overall!!

Great show. Very good pace. That was something watching my show I a lot of the cakes I chose had a slow pace, which makes the show slow too. I also want to know what that finale cake was.

Thanks for the kind words. Looking back at the show, I have to agree that the cans do bring something to the table that is unique. I don't think I originally planned my concept without cans, it just worked out that way. I wanted to go between 9 and 10 minutes. That was where I landed at with just the cakes that I wanted to shoot, so I just ran with the concept. I don't know that I will do it again though. I really enjoy canister shells!
As for the finale product.... I'm fairly new here, and I don't want to break any rules or protocol here on the boards. If it is acceptable practice, I would be more than happy to share the names either in a private message or email. I'm just trying to be respectful of the community, and our host. I hope this doesn't get interpreted any other way.
Thanks again!

It was nice here, about 70 with almost no wind and clear skies. Apparently, it is always raining is PA from what I see in Dave's videos.

I think my show was probably from a but after 10 to a little over 11 but I can check the time on the videos file names.

My S10 allow editing of segments on the phone. I just pause it between segments. If it is H.264 which most camera use then use MKVToolNix GUI. I have used it for videos I have shot. The Samsung use H.265 and I can not figure out hot to turn it off so I can edit afterwards. I guess I just need to find H.265 editing software or a plug-in for MKVToolNix for splitting H.265 videos.
