The pyro performance last Saturday was a blast!! the best ever for me, because China demonstrates how they can make that pyromusical with storytelling and then The Netherlands brings so much energy and you will never blink an eye to see large pyro bursts. The two country did their very best and each of them displays pyro tricks and magic with different styles, it is my 1st time to see lots of weird lights, smokes and low pyro burst, the competition is close and tough on this 4th pyromusical contest.
China
Jinsheng Fireworks
The theme is pyromusical, but Jinsheng Fireworks took the advantage of using story telling and music in their fireworks, the problem is that there were gap and silence in between story naration, but China changes the game in combining story telling and also music. Yes they are in sync with the music, they plan it well and this makes China to land on the top list to win again the first prize.
the most weirdest thing that China did for the pyro are the slow floating pyros falling back to the sea, its the 1st time that I've seen that style and the low burst few feet from the sea is one of the coolest performance.
here's my animated sample and experiment
Close Up Philippines demo
below is the exhibition pyromusical of Close Up, this time I make sure that I zoom in and took better photos of the fireworks.
The Netherlands
Royal Fireworks
Royal Fireworks made us forget the performance of China that night, they started with lots of energy and non stop burst of big pyros. The Van Halen "Jump" song made the crowd go wild!
Pyro and music are in sync, they did a great research and preparation for this competition
the grand finale...
My Review:
China captured our hearts because of the story they shared to us and using fireworks as our visuals, but the enjoyment starts when The Netherlands threw good energy and amazement. The Netherland got my vote to win for the pyromusical, it was the best night of pyromusical show ever with China's different concept and The Netherland's pop sync with the music.
