50-foot marionette explodes into flames! 90th Zozobra (2014)

The 90th annual Burning of Zozobra ('Old Man Gloom') in Santa Fe, NM. August 29th, 2014.
From Wikipedia:
"Zozobra is a giant marionette effigy that is built and burned every autumn during Fiestas de Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As his name suggests, he embodies gloom; by burning him, people destroy the worries and troubles of the previous year in the flames."

Extremely great. I was there. You should do the exact same burning with a heavy metal tune and/or a skilled tune.

[@martydominguez4124]

Wow such a cool video! Loved this one and last year's great job at making an already cool event look 10x cooler!

[@erikchavez7263]

Very impresive!!!...I do feel though that your video of last years burning was better. It had alot more areal views and had a great view of the fireworks from up above. In this video there were some firework shots from above but all during the burning, none from the spectacular ending. Im sure its a risk taking those drones above all that madness of fireworks too, but i did enjoy this video and thank you for doing it!!

[@patrickbarnes9462]

Okay, I need to go see this live.....

[@lilsheep4643]

It's really interesting to see those 1940s Zozobras. Like. Damn. You can tell when those were made and why. Just like how 2020's Zozobra had coronavirus knobs for hair and murder hornet cufflinks.

I want to take my family but on some other vids it seems their bunch of college kids. Don't want my little ones around (alcohol plays a big part)violence.its this event place safe to be? My kids are 4 and 5 years old.

[@LukeFitch]

+Madskillz Beatz Yes, it is very safe...

[@fey0nah]

There are college kids. There are a bunch of different ages though. Security doesn't allow alcohol taken in either I don't think. Not too sure. I went when I was super young (16 now). If you're still anxious about it, you can sit further back where there aren't as many people or contact the "zozobra staff" to ask any questions. (: hope you go! It's great fun.

[@fey0nah]

But it is a very safe event. They make sure of that. Always a bunch of kids.

[@nataliam7246]

It is so safe, you have to go through security too!!! You will be safe, I've been to this event before and it was GREAT and REALLY FUN!!!!!😘

[@eliasvelasquez8018]

Madskillz Beatz you got it all wrong it's not for college kids its for the natives of Santa Fe New Mexico

Hey pelis1940😢

[@yaphace]

Why was Zozob Asian in the 40's? Is that some kind of racist thing? Asians weren't liked too much in the 30'a and the 40'a in the U.S., so was Zozobra designed to look asian as to say "Burn All Asians" or "Death To Asians" or some shit like that? No offense, just curious.

[@KassidyGonzales]

Not sure he was meant to be Asian. Probably just the design. They change him almost every year

[@LukeFitch]

+yaphace It was during WWII. They attempted to make him look like a mix between Hitler and Emperor Hirohito.
