Fireworks Show Video Walla Walla Washington July 4 2007
Another Fourth of July has come and gone. This year - as I have for several years
past - I operated a public fireworks display, this time for the community of
Walla Walla, Washington. It was my first time there, and I enjoyed the place and people.
It was also my first time running a show in the state of Washington - the past seven
or eight years of this have all been shows in Oregon. We shot the show in
a sports park and school area on the VA grounds, and the audience was able to sit
and watch from all angles around. There's a great hillside under a water
tower nearby that makes for an optimum viewing spot.
My crew was terrific, and despite the fact that it was extremely hot (over 100 degrees
Fahrenheit and sunny all day as we set up the show as well as the next morning
while we finished cleaning up), we all had a good time and the show went off well
- safe and to the cheers of the crowd. That's what we want. Even the playground sprinklers
that came on automatically at around midnight while we were still cleaning up were
no big deal, heheh. We just went back to the hotel for the night and returned in the
morning.
Update: Travis
wrote a bit about the crew experience at the show and Jenn
posted some pretty terrific pics she shot.
Below is a video with some excerpts from the show. The video is five minutes
long, which is a little more than one fifth of the actual length of the show (which
came in at just under 25 minutes, right on target). So, you get a good flavor of the
opener, mid-show shots and volleys, the build up to larger shells, some layered height
effects, and of course the finale - which was pretty spectacular, if I do say so myself.
Several thousand shells and pyrotechnic components from one inch to four inches in
diameter made up the show.
I'll add a couple show setup pictures later today or this weekend. Enjoy. :
