That day you stepped into my life...a sparkler ignited...with a dash of delight...a match was lit...as sparks flew...sprinkling stardust...with chasms just for you...the moment I heard your voice...bangers popped...literally blowing my mind...you smiled...a Catherine Wheel...spun inside...my heart lit up...as you were etched inside...a countdown had begun...five four three...to quick to one...my heart to you had succumb...💖

Magnus seems like a pretty chill dude🤙

[@WillEdmond]

That’s a lot of tech behind the fireworks.

[@DownieLive]

Yeah man. I was surprised and impressed.

[@irich512]

Awesome video! 😊 It’s nice to know the process not just the show. ✨👍

[@Bafflingbrainteasers]

Amazing how you got to show us this detailed video. Thanks

[@DownieLive]

Joe, I’m glad you appreciate it, because it wasn’t easy. Months of emails, phone calls and a few waivers to sign to do it.

[@sw517]

Great to see behind the scenes. Thank you!

[@RomanHilser]

Loving this. On my way to watch all the videos!

[@necrophiliccorspe]

Here after 2022 fireworks!

[@thebookassassin]

Same! Glad it was back this year 😊

[@GreatGamer28]

"These big 8 inch fireworks are the highlight of the show" *Laughs in yonshakudama*

[@bradfordwetmore]

Looks like they have their own dedicated barge? I noticed some very pyro-specific features (sand pit/boom shed/etc.) that look to be permanent, it would suck to have have to tear down to the bare metal after every festival. (Sandbox show setups are so physical!)

[@benjaminmartin75]

Great video!

[@DownieLive]

Thanks Ben!

[@durangokids1]

Your videos are fantastic. Can I buy a hat?

[@DownieLive]

Jonathan! You the man! Not yet, but that is coming soon!

[@abeerda]

When is the next movie being posted that Kelly was going to record?

[@DownieLive]

I haven’t gotten the footage from Kelly yet, but if I get it, likely Monday.

[@scoopin3843]

I am waiting for it too. Hope you post it soon. Thanks

[@rileykoenigmusic]

nice. I like your hat.

[@DownieLive]

You noticed!

[@rileykoenigmusic]

I want one.

[@DownieLive]

You're not the first person to ask about it. I only have the one. I'll add you to the list in case that changes 😉

[@nicolekopera2826]

Riley, I don't even have a hat yet.

[@panther105]

Nothing compared to live firing fireworks in Japan. Crazy dangerous but traditional...

[@ZacharyC]

Do you live in BC???

[@DownieLive]

I do. I live in Vancouver. I’m guessing you live in BC?

[@ZacharyC]

DownieLive ya I live in BC too!

[@JezusPlayzFactions]

Aw where did ur mullet go

[@DownieLive]

On the barbers floor, I suppose.

[@JezusPlayzFactions]

why, it looked so mad.

[@DownieLive]

Hahaha. Good follow up question. I liked it too. I felt like I had it long enough, and was tired of maintaining it. As much as I liked it, I’m happy to have my short hair back. Thanks for the support.

[@snuggles03]

That’s actually “al you min ium”, not allooominum

[@GreatGamer28]

Depends on where you're from. Every single country that speaks English has its own way of pronouncing and spelling the words, but they're universally similar.
