So my parents and i shoot fireworks for a living. To the left is an example of what the company my dad works for puts on for most of their customers. Yes that is an actual picture of an AM pyrotechnics show. One might ask themselves how something like this is created. Well like any kind of artist it all starts with a vision in Mr. Aaron Mayfield's head. Once he knows exactly what he wants he creates a script for whoever he sends to shoot that show. For a show like the one you see above, we use a firing system called "fire One". This type of system allows aaron to put a lot in the sky at one time and it also allows him to set the fireworks to music with awesome precision. Now you might ask your self how this works. Before the set up of the show, each shell (firework) is labled with three-four numbers depending on the size of the show. The first number is the position number 1=front 2=main show 3=finale then the second number is the rack number and the third number is the gun number and the fourth number is the que number for the firing system. After everything is all qued up then the system is plugged into a lap top and its as easy as pusing enter. The End result looks somthing like this:
