Fire works transitions?

[Figment632]

On special ocasions (Holi, P and P party) and especialy around new years when they do Holi Wishes and Fantasy in the sky in the same night how hard is it to make the transition and set up.

1. How long does the transition take.
2. How do they set the fireworks up?
3. How is the audio synced set up and is it hard to transition it?

1. I assume you mean how long it takes to load? It depends on the show. Large shows like NYE are partly loaded in to the main zones hours before, usually after Holiday Wishes. Holiday Wishes is then loaded overnight for the next days show, performed and then NYE is loaded again. Of course all rooftop pyro is loaded directly before its corresponding show. Any perimeter zones used are set up shortly before each show as well.

2. Loaded basically how one would load an artillery morter. Main difference is that the shell won't light as it is dropped in. The lift charge must be wired with an electronic match.

3. Audio is sent from DACS and is synced with time code. I'd assume that transitioning from one show to another would be as easy as flipping a switch or entering a command.
