Happy Birthday, America (Fireworks Mishap)

Fireworks; the prettiest form of explosives.

In case you can't tell what happened from the video, one of the skyrocket fireworks that's supposed to go in the air tipped over (even though it was secured in place) and shot in every direction. One went into a neighbor's yard, one bounced off a car's roof and exploded on someone's roof, one went into the street, and two shot back into the garage, where two other people and I were standing. It blew up about a foot behind me and I rolled into the driveway just in time. I'm pretty positive I was some sort of Army general in a past life.

Miraculously, no one was seriously injured. My dive did leave me bruised/scraped up and the shell left me with a bald spot, but the camera was unharmed!

Other than that little mishap, it was a great show!

Hello, HV30 friend- I was wondering how you're able to upload HD video to YouTube because I tried with my fireworks video and it doesn't seem to work.

I just exported it how I usually do, save as .mov, expert settings, 1280 x 720, ect ect.

haha- I'm glad everyone (and everything) was okay! It was still funny when the music stopped, though- lol. Hooray for more videos!

Despite the mishap (which you managed to make me giggle about instead of nervous cry like last night) I am stoked that you yet again made a spectacular video. I just watched it twice, probably will watch it a few hundred times in a row. You have immense talent and I am glad you aren't severely injured :)
