J Pearce Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I was at the 12 o clock today. Very impressive, and I felt it was very artistic and fitted nicely to the music. The short preceding talk was also good. My 2 colleagues and I were right at the front, two of us ended up peeling streamers out of my hair. (The other had a sensible haircut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as she was amongst those who ends up sweeping up the glitter/streamers/confetti after the panto finale! And will again next January!!!);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyromark Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi all, Many thanks for your kind comments, I am glad that you enjoyed the display! I managed to film it a few times and have just clipped it together. you can watch it HERE, but be warned, I like a good quality video, so it is a 16meg wmv - so broadband is a must!!

feeta Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 you can watch it HEREThat's excellent!

kje-kev1459 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 hi, I looked at the video , must say very nice mark. two questions if I may..... 1 ) Was the show programed? 2 ) Do I assume you program the show, then on each button push fires that cue and moves on to the next cue ready for firing? many thanks kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromark Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 1 ) Was the show programed? 2 ) Do I assume you program the show, then on each button push fires that cue and moves on to the next cue ready for firing? 1, Yes the show was pre programmed into the controller before the show, this is done with software theat is then downloaded into the controller. 2, No, it can do that, that is manual mode on the Pyrodigital Controller, I was firing the show in Auto Mode and the music was locked alongside a timecode, this timecode was patched into the controller and the cues happen on time.

musht Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Just like to add thanks to Mark for a great display, one of highlights of Plasa for a few people I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 It's truly lovely that everyone's being so complimentary and warm and fluffy about the display. The demands of a production week prevented a visit to PLASA this year, but I watched the video of the pyro display, and while it did look very nice, I have to say that I wasn't at all keen on the long gaps. Ooooooooooooh, controversial! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Aah but Gareth, it fitted with the music so very well with the gaps! Apart from the very end, where the music has lots of loud staccato bits, and the pyro is slightly out of sync with the music (but then who really expects offsets on pyro cue times, which would take a fair bit of trial and error to work out, and probably wouldn't be very consistent, with the variable nature of pyro, anyway?)

J Pearce Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The long gaps were also filled by Mark giving info on pyros that had just been fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feeta Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Originally, the long gaps were filled with (30 second?) smoke cartridges of different colours. However, Mark took these out as the smoke was too much! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 However much Mark is paying you lot, he's really getting his money's worth! ;) (Tongue firmly lodged in cheek, before anyone posts any uppity comments ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
