Skip to about four minutes in, and wait to be amazed. I know these guys send us updates and links to the videos, but you REALLY don't want to miss this one. Just thought I'd let y'all know. Enjoy.

Can't wait to see the 56k one, I get "surf control - ACCESS DENIED" when I try to click it from here...... damn paranoid IT departments, banning sites at random.

I would not call it an awful mess The winterblast final shoot in the states is an awful mess....The four double acting Girandolas are great, the rest of it is an awful mess. Any idiot can shovel that lot up given the budget. The single Girandola on the 56k link is certainly a thing of beauty. I like the willow star heading at the top.
The display kept changing heights - kept the sequences going - had at least four synchronized shooting points (the Girandoles, the Z-fan etc)... They kept smoke volume low - overall, an acceptable performance. It is probably not an international winning performance - but it's okay.
Adam? Your professional opinion?

I ran a display company for 11 years and worked in a firework factory for 8 years and in that time I did a lot of those sky full type displays as it was what the customer wanted, but the beauty of a front of 14mm Red dragon candles in it's simplicity is rarely seen these days because many displays just end up mixing colours and effects and it all gets samey IMHO. I think the biggest round of applause that I ever got at a display was 3 fans of 3" Igual willow and tail shells on their own, the general public just don't get to see that sort of thing as an isolated sequence in a show very often these days. The same with setpieces, many display companies omit them or use very few, but a tree of gerbs or a horizontal gold wheel is so simple but relatively unseen by the masses.
