To me Sky Puke is more of a, I have a bunch of cakes fuse them together lite them off really don't know or care what they do or look like just put them up there and that is the end of the show everyone go home. "sky puke, with style" - aussie Again my feeling is there is more planing / thought involved where cakes and or single shoots and or barrages can be fused up but are known what each one does and one has an idea what the sky should look like there is more timing involved, and more time setting up. A backyard player who walks into a store and just buys 2 of this and 3 of that then sets them all off "sky puke" Is this wrong? I agree.

I find it totally overrated based on price. I’d rather buy 6 individual mortars and literally get more bang for my dollar.

Quick critique, keep the show shorter. More pyro over a shorter time period is better than the same pyro extended over a longer period in my opinion. After awhile, all cakes look very similar. But of course do what you enjoy the most. If we all liked the same thing, life would be pretty boring.

I can see what your progression is going to be. From one cake at a time, to multiple cakes, to music, to pyro musical, etc....

That was amazing!!!! Are the low level strobes you used "white strobe cakes" by CF? I ordered a bunch and hope that's what you used because that's exactly what I'm looking for for the lower slower parts of my pyromusical! Thanks Aaron....glad you enjoyed it. Actually the strobes were simply four mystical strobes taped on top of each other. I shaved off the bottom on three of them and just taped them together. It goes from 8-10secs to almost 40 seconds. Voila. Cheap and efficient.

Wow, that was amazing, really well coordinated! Now I really want to try a pyromusical next year! I’ve gotta know, what were: -the horsetail cake at 4:33 - the corkscrew-like screaming effect at 6:03 and again at the finale, 10:14 - the fanned comets (cake?) at 8:30 - the corkscrew to peony at 9:11 - really big willows around 10:45 Thanks Patrick. Appreciate it. Grisom has everything up to 9:11 (impressive Grisom) 9:11 was Snake Bite 10:45 was Glittering Brocade (easily biggest consumer cake we have) Go for It Patrick. I can’t ever shoot traditional again. Biggest issue is equipment. I have almost 230 cues just for fronts. So pyromusicals eats up cues like crazy. 14 Cobra mods. Takes quite a bit but start small and build up! It’s very rewarding.

Nicely Done!!! Any details to share?? Have some general questions for the products used. -what was at the name of the product used at the 3:23 - 5 or 6 red comets with tails used through out the show. -7:12 start of the 3rd song Katy Perry. I am guess you used a few Detonator or Detonator 2. Thanks. See Above for the answers as Grisom clearly knows his product. No Detonator or 2 used during the show.

The comets with the red head are BEM'S stardust ( Excellent item ) and the 3 cakes you are seeing at 7:12 are Vulcan's Joker . Ya. What Grissom said. Lol

They bring their own guys but sometimes need extra hands. So they use GFA guys to help out.

I would love to get on as a tech with any of the shows Hard to get onto this show. The countries bring their own techs and any extra ones needed are usually provided by GFA. They have ample people in Quebec region to cover those positions. Always a premier event to work on. I work with GFA and I’ve yet to get onto that show.

I may be wrong but I think he’s asking how much the insurance costs.

I use the Vulcan ones for my consumer show. I stack three of them on top of one another and tape them together. It'll give you thirty seconds of strobing glory.

I would say Vulcan's fireworks 007 and fortune teller and BEM fireworks - The Out Of Space .
Here is video of The Out of Space -www.youtube.com/watch?v=t57PWYncm-U
For those that are wondering I was introduced to The Out of Space cake in 2010 at the CFA demo - here is BEM's demo The Out Of Space Cake is at 4:33 minute mark . www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdhFhn4Rwsg
I really like Fortune Teller. Always so consistent.

Just thinking out loud. But Diablo doesn't strike me as a barrage that needs to have timing to be dead on relative to timing to music.

What barrage are you trying to use?
