Note:
Most clips and images on this page were created by me so please do not redistribute anything without notifying me at lost_4_words@hotmail.com. You are entitled to your own opinions on
every firework. Keep in mind that an item from last year may differ drastically from the same item this year due to many factors beyond the consumer's control. Use these clips as a reference when researching fireworks, but use your own good judgment
when it comes time to purchase. It's wise to test before you buy in bulk.
Video specs:
I originally recorded fireworks for personal reference but
decided to share the clips, so don't expect anything professional. Older videos were captured on a Fuji Finepix
3800 digital still camera and newer videos on a Fuji S7000 digital still camera. The most recent clips were recorded on a Canon ES8600 Hi8 camcorder. Zoom is never used, so you are seeing the actual size breaks from the camera's perspective. Average distance between device on ground and camera is 30-50ft. Audio and video have not been enhanced.
Instructions:
To view video clips, select your video destination below. Use the right-click and 'Save Target As' option if you wish to store a copy of any video on your computer. I suggest turning the bass up a little so it sounds more realistic. My digital cameras did not capture the true quality or loudness of sound effects. Video capture is okay, but no where near DVD or VHS quality. There may be some playback hesitation or skips if you are running older versions of
Windows Media Player. For best results, install the latest version of
Media Player from microsoft.com
Slow download and limitations are gone:
Downloads shouldn't be slow anymore. Also, there shouldn't be a limit on concurrent downloads anymore since I've moved the site from a personal server to a hosting site. Download all you want, but please do not distribute any videos from this site without my permission.
