PGI 2024 - Cosmo: A Space Odyssey by Spirit of 76 and Verge Aero - 1800 Drones, some with pyro

[@garysheehan5907]

16:45 whew, I felt that. ❤

[@NightLighter63]

Special congrats to Peter Rogoz of Spirit of 76 Fireworks, Dan Haines of Astro Magic Fx and Verge Aero for their collaboration in designing this story and an amazing integration of pyro effects and drones! I love that Verge Aero is now licensed to use pyro effects on their drones - it adds a stellar design element to drone displays. Thanks so much for this quality display!

[@denfireworks]

110% agree!!!! They pulled together an incredible team to make this story happen!! AND Oh man Pyro ON drones is going to add SO MUCH MORE too!! I was watching the competitions and turned around and saw them running some tests with the Pyro Drones Tuesday night and I got so freaking excited!!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

Just wait man! We have so many fun ideas in the works

[@SunsFireworks.Angela]

🥳🥳🥳 Wow wow wow…… Thanks Den for sharing such an impressive show here

[@denfireworks]

My pleasure!! And I am glad you enjoyed it! I know everyone can't make it out to PGI (I know it was rough for me this year) I really want everyone to get a taste of what went on!! I have so much more to edit LOL It is a FULL week LOL

[@SunsFireworks.Angela]

@@denfireworks We have fireworks display every month here, but this one combined drones show is really awesome 👍. Hoping to see more from you 🥳 Thank you so much for doing this

[@peterrogoz3104]

Thank you for posting! This was a really interesting show and learnig experience for us. Its always a pleasure to push the pyro/drone design envelope with Verge. Cosmos is the result of a lot of collaboration. Thank you to all the countless people and companies that contributed!

[@denfireworks]

@peterrogoz3104 thank you for pulling so many people together to make this show happen!!! I loved that there was a story crafted and told so well! Just an outstanding job and an amazing show and collaboration! I am sure you had other (more experienced/better gear) people filming it as well, but if you want my raw footage to use just let me know via Email, comment, or Facebook and I can get you the raw footage from what I posted, or the ones from my other cameras you can check out as well. It was a tough show to capture, but I think I did it as much justice as I could on video.... but in person with that 3d depth is so hard to replicate! I just really wanted to get it out there for more people to see!

[@livelife1100]

Beautiful Show!!!

[@denfireworks]

VERY Cool story and some awesome effects!! It was fun!

[@garysheehan5907]

It's imperative that we get put back into our place from time to time. Mother Nature, we love you. ✊️💪

[@guedos]

I hate drone shows but, DAMN this was good!

[@denfireworks]

I hate a solo drone show, like how do you do a finale too???? BUT integrations likes this have me really looking forward to what is next!! and now having Pyro ON the drones??? hhmmmm

[@ethanroesner9405]

Loved the show soo much😊

[@denfireworks]

It was an AWESOME story! Didn't have the same impact as lasers hitting gas mines BUT I LOVED the story they told, AND pyro on drones?? HECK YEAH!!

[@lloydbellis7360]

One of the best shows I have seen Thank you 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@denfireworks]

My pleasure!! I LOVED this show, and just really wanted more people to see it ASAP! Man the S76, Verge Aero, and Astro Magic team had to of worked SO HARD on this!! I was just lucky enough to be sitting in the crowd enjoying it!!

[@menta1case182]

All I can say is, WOW! That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! Thank you so much for filming and posting this Den.

[@denfireworks]

My Pleasure!! It didn't have the WOW factor of laser beams lighting off gas mines and slices BUT The story was SO GOOD and man those drones made some awesome images! I can't wait to see more Pyro on drones too and how they will integrate them in with Pyro shows!!

[@garysheehan5907]

The American Flag flying at the bottom of the screen was perfect! The wind could not have been any better from this angle.

[@denfireworks]

They put together a GREAT story on this one!!

[@bigcrazyal5560]

Thanks again from all of us who couldn't be there Den! TY!

[@denfireworks]

I hope you can make it one year Al!! BUT until then I will do the best I can to capture and share it!!

[@Bryan-mp9tt]

Thanks Den for all your hard work filming and posting during PGI

[@denfireworks]

My pleasure!! I just got home and I still have a ton of footage to go through but I really want to share what PGI is like, and let everyone see some incredible shows!!! I am really happy with how the camera's turned out too!!

[@mattdaaamon]

the fireworks engines wow

[@AGPyro2024]

That was crazy bro thanks for the video, I left early so I missed this show 😢

[@denfireworks]

Dude it was awesome to meet you!! I still owe you some stickers though... the freaking week went insane.. AWESOME Raikeo and Happy Family demo dude!

[@AGPyro2024]

@@denfireworks hahaha yeah next time I’ll bring some of mine too, and same bro sucks we couldn’t chill more that place was way too huge I was so tired of walking around! And thank you, the demo went almost perfect

[@denfireworks]

@@AGPyro2024 Dude the site was HUGE and I was all over the dang place.. and trying to edit videos and.. Yeah... I need a nap LOL!!

[@AGPyro2024]

@@denfireworks hahaha yeah i bounced early cause we had a 1700 mile drive back home and I’ve been out for two weeks already with all my kids

[@denfireworks]

​@@AGPyro2024 Yeah man... I don't blame you LOL I flew out and I still used to much vaca time, and I wasn't hauling around kids!! I got everything on video... not the same but hopefully will scratch the itch!

[@dezrider27]

Thanks drone shows are next level

[@denfireworks]

The combination of Pyro and Drones has SO MANY more options!! Just a solo drone show IDK... like how do you do a finale??? MIXING Pyro and drones though... AND Now they have the OK to put Pyro ON the drones? Game changer!!

[@kosmotini]

Beyond spectacular!

[@denfireworks]

Such a great story and just a great collaboration between Pyro and drones!

[@TimothyMoore-k1w]

[@Twotimepyro]

That was pretty cool

[@denfireworks]

It didn't have that WOW factor of Laser eyes setting of gas mines and slices... BUT Man it told a great story, and seeing pyro ON the drones was really cool!!

[@NineOhFoPyro]

Just wow

[@denfireworks]

Enough said!!!

[@3ccdmike]

Thanks Den ! this was TITS ! 181

[@denfireworks]

My pleasure!!! There is SO much cool stuff at PGI!! I love getting it out for more people to see and then maybe I can meet more people at next years PGI too :)

[@craigmetz7924]

That was freaking awesome! How do the drones not get wiped out by the shells lol?

[@NightLighter63]

The drones are further back. Video flattens depth without reference points in the dark.

[@denfireworks]

I was still nervous when those girandolas went up LOL The images are SO BIG in person I really thought some flew through the space walk LOL

[@denfireworks]

It REALLY doesn't look like it the images are so big, but the drones where back in the field in a safe spot.. I was still nervous watching when the girandolas went up but they knew what they were doing!!

[@reformingmaybenever]

I was *very* close to the drone field on the ground, and saw multiple errant shells land in that area (and of course very close to us). How many drones were taken out by those (note the American flag missing a star or two, and at least one discontinuity in the field of stripes)

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

​@@NightLighter63oh no, the drones were all through the space and traveled to and from to deconflict whenever and wherever pyro was firing.

[@BobSquarepants-z4e]

Do you have the script? what product is available at 76? Whose aerial shells? What size were the shells?

[@denfireworks]

Sadly I don't... I am just a dude who showed up for an awesome week of Pyro!

[@JoelRobinsonPyrotechnics]

The large shells were all Giuliani shells out of Italy. The same manufacturer that makes their Italian single shots.
