I guess this can be considered art of some kind...
If you've ever wondered what I I've been doing for the past few months then here is the answer. This is a video compilation of 35mm aerial shells that I made myself. I tested various star compositions and videotapped the results. I did the camerawork while my neighbour did the launching.
Enjoy.

That was pretty cool.
The rockets were awesome, especially.

That was a pretty awesome video.

I have something much bigger in store for the new year eve.

Nice stuff you've got there. Don't you have any chemicals for different colours, like copper?

Cpp · Dec 4, 2007, 08:49 AM

Indeed I have.
I have barium nitrate (green color, toxic), Strontium nitrate (red color), but I have yet to get copper (II) oxide (blue, toxic). Sodium benzoate gives yellow. Getting other colors is only a matter of mixing these components in proper ratios.

Xobim · Dec 5, 2007, 05:31 AM

Cool, though the video didn't really show any differences in colours.
Anyway, take care. I've heard enough stories about people losing limbs while making their own fireworks.

Cpp · Dec 5, 2007, 01:45 PM

I believe I know why people lose limbs. Take a look at those youtube videos where kiddies do all sorts of insane stuff with fireworks.

Xobim · Dec 6, 2007, 11:22 AM

Well, my main example was a kid who was just doing something stupid, and lost his lower leg. At school we call him bomberman behind his back. (You decide if that's wrong)

I liked the glitter star... What's it made of to do that?

Here is our second star composition test.
See the youtube comments for more details.
Have fun.

That's pretty nice. Very nice, actually.

Hai
What is this .I am new here.

Puffie40 · Feb 14, 2008, 12:28 PM

Cool video Overlord. Make me want to play with (Safely!) making my own fireworks!

After 8 seconds, the video jumps to the end. Is this some kind of youtube censorship???

That happens to me if I try to play the video too many times while it's loading. Clear your cache and try again.

Thanks for the link! I am thinking about it, but I probably won't do anything until I get a shop set up...

Valco · Feb 27, 2008, 03:17 PM

That's illegal in my country... Aw.

Oh well. Those are some pretty awesome pyro-cannon effects.

Cpp · Jan 1, 2009, 12:26 PM

Yay! Thread resurrection. I thought I might share this:

I knew you would. :P

The fireworks look very nice, though the titanium shot lasted too long with burning. Professional stuff, I'd say.

Too bad you put the guitar whining in the background of the video. I was hoping to hear the bangs like in the first vid you placed on youtube.
