Many MANY typos 💀 Google got corana 19 I think. Phones worked very well until about March 2020.. getting WORSE month by month. .. I'm using Google Assistant from 2-7 am.. speaking to text.What should (+has in the past with no mistakes at all) have taken me 20 minutes, has taken me hours .. dele. no! dele..STILL NO! d a i l y.. see what I am up against?! in one a backseat punch keys to enter information it's still uncorrect me no! incorrect..no! Uncorrects me! WTF is wrong with THIS? My phone did un requested update last MONTH. Was bad then. Worse now. Of that all auto updates turned off. No! I've gotten all autouncorrecting No. Auto updates r off. I think this is the new English my phone wants me to speak with. Certainly not a pyrotechnicians vocabulary. If I say yoda Niger volume know what I tried to say there and it wasn't meant to be racist or derogatory in any shape form or manner. all I do care about is how much heart you have in you. You can do or be whatever you want that's your choice it certainly does not affect me in any shape form or manner and I don't hold it against people. any questions please do contact me directly I'm not going to try and do more find editing at this moment.. I'm a powder Pyrotechnician,I do TRULY do love all kinds of art's. Music,theater, film, that really matter. I enjoy the detail of the work involved in getting the show ready for public viewing by the worldwide masses. But Fireworks, the manufacture and display are my first love. Now I'm hoping the break boys at MIT and Carnegie Mellon and a few other places will come up with a real large kill holographic filming and projecting source.. I thought about multiple fixed point lasers but basically that's not my line it's simply an idea some people call me a powder monkey, but I'll just load of cannonball I actually will mix and make a cake did she eat or make a firework that you can see sizes only dictated by the area available 2 discharge in the amount of people we expect to have we want people to be able to come back again and again there for safety is our first concern then budget! Even without holograms there's some really nifty tricks I can do with lasers and fireworks together.. and I'm not talking like Epcot where you're seeing lasers shooting a design on a ball and fireworks going off around it I'm talking about using lasers with the fireworks to create multi-dimensional effects.. I see it so clearly in my head unfortunately doesn't translate to pen and paper easily.. I guess I'm a little ahead of our time, or I just have not met up with the creative people both those are the creative with paper and pen to understand what I mean I can show them a video of firework and I can describe them what I want to listen to do but very few people have actually managed to pull it off without my personally being there and tweaking it and unfortunately budget and time constraints very offering precluded demo so we have to get it right the first time..many companies claim to choreograph but what they actually do is throw up so much product in the air that something SIMY MUST hit THE ACTUAL CUE at the right time, even if it's not the qUE they planned, many times will see me audience applaud wildly when it was so far OFF WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE EFFECT FOR THAT NOTE OR CHORUS it wasn't funny.. but for people who really make it to a rock concert theY ARE none the wiser.. if you ever been to an AC DC concert , the song for those about to Rock we salute You . and in fireworks terminology a salute is A VERY Loud BANG,OR BOOM,(sometimes called a report although the report is not quite as loud or powerful) with concussion that you feel. if you're close enough it will actually knock the air out of you! Too close and it can push you over!. The force of the air is actually a Sonic boom,created by a specialized mixter of secretly prepared powder .. although it's not so secret anymore we don't want people playing with this powder because of its SO VERY bloody dangerous! worse then Dynamite! Almost equal to nitroglycerin however nitroglycerin as a liquid that's added to different components to make it much more stable therefore user-friendly.. add an AC DC concert if they have their Cannon's on stage and they said "shoot!" and IT WENT BOOM SO LOUD YOU FELT IT, THATS A WIN!. Same song , lyrics say shoot and you see a flashlight flash. You don't hear a boom, you don't feel Any concussion, IMO, it's a huge loss. However sonically it can be recreated with proper frequencies and subwoofers and enough amplification, but then you really wouldn't need me would you.. wait TILL you see my next trick though! I cal it laser pyro..but having only performed at once in Massachusetts years ago nobody here Florida has a clue what I'm talking about and it really has to be seen to be believed I do have a couple gifts on here that give a clue but it really doesn't give the spectacle that is.. it's extremely Labor intensive . custom making specialty effects takes MONTHS. Also needs extensive calibration with sound LOUDSPEAKER SUBWOOFER TECH'S AND LASER TECHS.. unfortunately the new laws require the loud speakers with subwoofers as the actual sex have to happen so far away from you.. track the actual sound gets lost in the open air so we have to mike it and correctly and project the sound correctly so you see and feel it.. lasers, well I'm not even going to talk about that.. there's a handful of people worldwide that know what I'm up to and have seen it before.. I think there are maybe a dozen although I know only 4 personally, POSSIBLY six technicians worldwide that can duplicate my initial design. And it's just gotten more intense over the years. I'm not sure if people are scared or just thinking I'm nuts!..I know those who have witnessed it from the audience perspective I've been extremely impressed and want me to teach them how, in order to do that I basically need to DO ANOTHER SHOW TO show them , the end result it's a educate them on how to get there. It's a process make no mistake. And the process has been built on others mistakes.. unfortunately it's costs on my friends in this industry their lives, as I mentioned earlier fireworks are inherently dangerous when we have a bad day is generally a fatality or 1 or more involved.. thank you Lord for never having me experience that or any members of my crew.. there are serious learning curves involved but they are safe ones at this point owing to those who made bad decisions but kept Good records on what they attempted . what very specifically that they did ,and how they did it , distances of loudspeaker reinforcement and calibration used,and what formulas used, and what frequencies they used, they paid attention to my first recommendations and that was document everything for my brand of speaker to the amplifiers where your sources forgetting materials were the chemicals I'm talking about now,all the way down to what brand of electric MATCH'S ( majority made their own for these FX) your using and what you're getting power from the brand of the generators how much power the putting out when they will love service what type of oil you use what type of spark plug to use in, are you powering your sound from the same power that your power your electric matches for the pyro ? that's a No-No. and what brand of electric matches did you write? Did you wire in series or parallel? Many many experiments and many notebooks full of information..yet it wasn't really until 1969 in the formation with pyrotechnicians gilded to national that people actually started sharing information and oh so slowly..and still to this day somebody gets an idea they want to capitalize on it first before they will share it.. some reason I'm missing that greed Gene in My DNA . AMEN! ☮️ ,stay healthy,share your groovy energy. And keep notes! You'd be surprised what you pick up over a couple to 10-years rereading your notes. I hope I didn't deter anybody I was trying to inspire y'all..as you see a lot of things I post are not my own. Whenever I can I just basically share so whatever information of their as far as technicians are company for photographers I try to let it all be shown. Unfortunately in all my years in this industry the most notes I seem to see or about the bids to get the gigs..not so much the effects of the repetition of the effects in different circumstances and that I think people need to pay more attention to.. I realize after 10- 18 hour days it's tough to start writing notes..it's okay to summarize if you had three dates of the same place but notice the wind change one day and everything was off take notes the humidity the wind direction speed ambient temperature whatever information you could include helps the next man make his show safer. If he's WILLING to do his homework. Nuff SAID. DM me if you want. I'll try to ANSWEAR as always. Except where n/d agreement or companies inside info obviously I cannot divulge,however, once they make it public it's fair game. And after a fair and reasonable amount of time let's face it a lot of money and time goes into making and adjusting these effects.. it's only right we should profit somewhat from them.. I'm not saying hit people over the head for year's.. and to me prophet doesn't necessarily mean cash money the information itself is invaluable to me. I do this because I've been in love with it since I was 7 years old..
