AJ and Bo are competition hobbyist pyromusical show designers, and in this episode they share their thoughts and opinions on the show and the choreography in this Kentucky legend...Thunder Over Louisville 2024.

#41 - Taking Fireworks Video with Zach Huibregtse

Capturing video of your firework shows can seem like a daunting task, or even worse, an afterthought. As show designers, our attention is often consumed by every aspect of getting the show off the ground, leaving us with a sense of regret when the event passes and all we have to encapsulate the experience are poorly or failed video captures.  Zach Huibregtse is a show designer and media professional.  He joins AJ, Jamie, and Bo in episode #41 to discuss camera hardware choices, tips, and techniques for effectively recording fireworks shows.
