This is the sort of thing I would love to get into so was wondering if anyone knew which company it was as my searches haven't come up with anything, the band is called Rammstein they are German so perhaps the company is too, anyone on here work for them?
Thanks,

In the UK you do not usually drop in as lead pyro for Rammstein unless you have a LOT of knowledge experience and contacts.
Keep mannequins and watermelons away from fireworks..they always get hurt..

OK first the band leader for Rammstein IS their pyrotechnician, Second in Germany pyrotechnicians have to be licensed by the state.

Thanks for the reply Arthur. Zebra is now receiving some basic explosives training through my company. Any assistance that can be given through forum readers would be greatly appreciated. She has already been given some industry contacts to follow up.
Here in the Uk there is a serious lack of young people entering any aspect of the explosives industry and we ( including you Arthur!!) who are near the end of our careers must support new entrants like Zebra. Open your contacts books and give her the leads she needs.

I would love to get into the world of Explosives and demolition however i would not have any6 idea how to go about it and also i would hazard a guess you would need to go to uni and get some form of degreee ect of which i would stand no chance as ime not very acedemic. Doing the practical side of things and understanding it ime 100% confident i could do it.

Jay,
A uni degree is not always the best route into the demolition industry or any industry for that matter, your best line of approach is to find the appropriate trade association, then read up on careers and find the courses/exams and practical training that are relevent to what you want to do, but its also likely you will need a specific CSCS card (construction skills certification scheme), this will give you permission to say enter building sites, but there are other CSCS cards that you will need that cover access to say railways, airports etc.

Ime a fully qualified bricklayer so already have the CSCS card and understand building structures ect.. also obviously site safety ect..,. When i have some spare time i will have a good look into it.

I went to Southport this weekend to watch the musical fireworks competition, noticed they used a few strobes around the front and thought it would look good with lazers involved, is there a rule against using other lighting effects in these competitions or do people just choose not to as they are showcasing their fireworks?
