Pyrotechnician For A Day... Part 1 of 6

Pyrotechnician For a Day was done July 5, 2008. I wanted to show what it is like to display a professional fireworks display. If you ever watch a fireworks display and think you want to be the fireworks man, well this is what it is like. For me the love of fireworks goes back to my childhood. I tried not to make the series this long but needed to do so to capture the day's events. If you have the time, watch it in order. Total time is around 50 min. If you are already are a pyrotechnician be gentle with criticism if I did something wrong. I'll dedicate this series to all the men and women, that are mostly part time pyrotechnicians that make the fourth of July possible in the United States against a never ending list of government regulations.
Please rate and/or comment let me know how I'm doing.

One of my friends has been a pyrotechnician for over 35 years, he works for Vitale out of Newcastle, PA...he got me involved into it and I went to the Newcastle Pa factory where I spent the entire day taking a test on becoming a pyrotechnician also got a tour of the factory and watched them make the fireworks by the FOUNDERS of vitale. Afterwards, you get a chance to light off some of their stuff. I have also done a couple shows in various states. Great videos!!!

i like the fact that you demonstrate this entire series as something that isnt overly complicated. Often times people like to boast and act like their job is the hardest thing out there nd nobody could possibly do what they do. you give the perspective that its just like anything else out there, if you know what you're doing you'll be fine.
