Not bad for a simulated display. There's much of this that couldn't be done for real, but it's amazing what they can do now. Our local 4th of July display had some things last year that I've never seen before and wouldn't have thought was possible.

Somebody fixed the video so that it would open in post. Maybe Dave? If so thanks. Are you sure it is simulated. It sure looks real to me.

From the YouTube notes:
I hope you all had a pleasant party celebrating the dawning of a new year. We all made it, safe and sound, to the year 2013, and I wanted to continue the party by sharing this fireworks display I created & actualized. It took me a little over a week to complete, and I am very happy with the outcome. All of the shells are custom-made by me, and I take huge pride in the handiwork that went into bringing them to life. I hope you all enjoy the show. :)

...The great software used to mastermind a production like this is FWSim.

Yes, I fixed the YouTube link. Sorry if I disappointed about the fireworks not being real. If you look at the points of origin in the video you'll see the fireworks shooting off from everywhere including the near foreground to the distant background, and from points out of nowhere.

Yes, you are correct. A big disappointment for us as the wife sent this link to many of our friends. We were fooled again.

Don't feel bad. With the state of CG being what it is in movies and TV today we're all fooled regularly, and completely oblivious to the deception. It was a fun diversion. :cool:

My first thought was that it looked like CGI. It was too perfect.
