Friday Aug 23, 2024
Friday Aug 23, 2024
Creating simulations of your product in whatever visual design software you use can feel like an exercise in futility.

High quality pyromusicals are an application where "the need" is often a very real one.
In this episode, AJ, Jamie, and Bo dive into finding solid product reference source materials, their processes for the analysis of these materials, and the concepts for applying these points of analysis to improve your effects libraries and create more accurate representations of your shows in your design & visualization software.

Jamie, AJ, and Bo chill with Pyro's friendly neighborhood slat manufacturer (C.J. Jurczak, muuxBRD) and the first REAL foreigner (Dana "CANADA" Alisat) they've invited to the show...because we're all about diversity here...
The guys talk firing systems, quality control in pyro, water cakes, fireballs, AJ burning alive, and CANADA as our first line of defense against the Russian invasion.
