2012 Windsor-Detroit Fireworks 1080p

The entire 2012 Windsor/Detroit Fireworks display in 1080p
I wanted better picture and sound last year and i got it. Next year (I'm going to keep positive that it will happen) I will just need to adjust the exposure next year a bit to catch the very dim ones at the beginning, and a couple of them near the middle of the display.
This is one of the largest fireworks displays in North America and is also among the largest displays in the world. Typically around 22 minutes long and usually choreographed to music on the US side. Nearly a million people gather on the Windsor riverfront alone, quite a number for a town of 223,000 people.
This is my third year taking video footage of the display and I always post it up in it's entirety. I think I'm the only one to do this.

Thank you for this. I moved away years ago and miss this extravaganza!

I was stading on top of the COBO center and watched this, what a display! Thanks for sharing the video.

Thank you shannon4599usa. If I have my way, I will be filming from the Detroit Side next year, though I will kind of miss seeing the Detroit Skyline in the video.

538MO: Thank you for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I put a lot of work into it this year and intend on making next years even better, as long as we have them.

Nightwraith, I will be filming them every year as long as they are here. Always learning what I can do better. My ultimate goal for next year will be to record them in at least Dolby 5.1 surround to catch the sound bouncing off the buildings and better catch the ambience. If I really have my way, hope you have a 3d display.

This was about 15 feet from the fence pretty well at the end of Ouellette street. I'm actually considering finding a further and higher vantage point this year. I'm also hoping to have a better mic and a dedicated video camera. I was pretty bummed about the 15 seconds or so I lost in the middle of the show when my camera, which is supposed to be able to record 30 mins of HD video, shut off due to sensor overheating partway through.

From 1954 to 1993 they were paid for by Hudsons. After they withdrew their funding, Target took over, and has significantly increased the budget. The display is close to a million dollars.

How far away was this viewed from. Riverside Park?

[@luger700]

Damn, what an awesome display. Who funds that?

[@SuperballsSupervidsOnYT]

I'm looking at getting my pyrotechnics license this fall. Maybe I might be able to start my own competing display of they don't stop making this "TV Only"

That's sweet. I just got a Zoom R8, to go along with my Zoom H4N pro. I have a Note 10+ which can capture 4k HDR, but I'm looking into a Sony camera that supports HLG as well, but it's pricy. I'll be trying for a 5.1 surround take as I can use the built in condensers on the H4N pro, plus my matched pair of Behringer C-2s, plus my Marantz Large diaphragm to catch a beefy center channel as well as the low end sound I can send right to the LFE (subwoofer) channels. I can power the Zoom R8 off of USB power and a battery bank, and I can get an adapter for the h4n so they are plenty powerful and give me a potential for 6 channels. I will bring my handicam as a backup in case I run into phone limitations.

Funny you said 15 feet instead of 4.57 meters. Unless you're American. Eh?
