Graduation Show

[cduesman]

I didn't shoot a show on the 4th, but I recently did a show for my daughters graduation. She picked the music. (I had never heard of some of the music she suggested.) We finally agreed on some music that was fireworks worthy.

I used Finale 3D to design the show. It was my first time using Finale 3D. (I'd used Finale Fireworks in the past.)

I was pretty happy with everything except for my go-to slow whirlwind cake which fired in 12 seconds rather than the normal 30.

Here's the video. If you hit the CC button to turn on the closed caption subtitles, it will display what items are being fired. It's all 1.4G/1.4G Pro.

I have some pictures of the setup shared on Google Photos (https://photos.app.goo.gl/nZpJRvwLnNoLC2WN9)

Thanks. I find the product listing helpful as well. I have a script that takes a cobra or finale script and generates the closed captions.

I altered more 500G cakes in this show than ever before for better timing/control. I shot several cakes row by row. Some of the cakes that typically had a quickened finale I either shot the normal part and the finale part seperately or in a few cases, I replaced the fast fuse in the quickened finale with normal slower visco.
