With permission from the producers, Passfire is a movie that'll be entertaining, and of interest to anyone who is passionate about the art of fireworking.
I have two questions, do you ever hand fire your shows or is it all e-fire? And after getting your license to shoot 1.3G does the ATF ever stop by unannounced to check your stuff?

This is so inspiring! I am a fireworks fan/enthusiast for as long as I can remember and every time I meet people who have the same passion for fireworks it feels like I meet a friend again who I haven't seen for a long time, but you instantly have that connection because you share that deep sense of respect and excitement for that amazing piece of chemistry and creativity called fireworks! Thank you for sharing this with us!!
I'm watching for the first time. And I as you have always preferred fourth of July and new year's to Christmas time. Just due to my avid enjoyment of the art of fire. 💕
I am an amateur Pyro engineer. Lots and lots to learn. Been studying and experimenting for the last 3 decades. Just wanted to add this bit of trivia - After the Chinese, India is probably the oldest user of incendiary rockets. Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, used BP rockets against the British East India Company in 1792 and 1799. I believe a painting depicting that rocketry battle hangs somewhere within the portals of NASA.
im a simple guy...since i was a child i have loved the simplest to most complex of fireworks...firecrackers, rockets, mortars, fountains, even sparklers...I always have a stash of bottle rockets/mortars just to set them off whenever i feel like it all year long :0) thanks for uploading this!
I love this documentary on Fireworks, it was very cool to see how the whole world loves Fireworks. For some it's a business, some it's a hobby, and for others it's a life style. Me being the later. It may sound weird, but I live to shoot Fireworks and enjoy Fireworks. For me Fireworks are a escape from a life of hardship. They are my release or a way to forget about all the bullshit in life. This video really captured that same feeling from other cultures. Even though I've seen it at least 20times already, I'll watch it off your channel anyway just to support your channel 👍💥👍
So relatable! I'm from Holland and we have only 8hours a year (18:00 to 02:00 on new years eve) to light fireworks, but those are the best hours of the year! 😍
I really loved at the end they were messaging folks with an interest in the hobby to get in touch with PGI or other organizations to get some more exposure/education. You can get hurt awful-bad if you mess up doing-it-alone and working with fellow hobbyists to teach you good practices is the way to go.
4th of July 2020 I had one of our eldest grandsons help me fuse a mortar rack at our annual Firework Co-Op/Friend & Family get together. He picked up on the technique fast. He was my first choice when I needed to fuse for this year and as we were working here came my our other 2 oldest grandsons wanting to learn too. It made me feel proud. 👍💥
I wanna work for them , anyone lol 61. Years old and have played with and invented fireworks for 45 years ... Love love love fireworks !! Great video guys !!!!! Joe L.....
What a great documentary video, its a must watch for anyone who loves or even likes fireworks! The best parts of the video to me are whenever its focusing on any other countrys then my own and to see the love for fireworks is no different, this is a must watch for any pyro out there!
Awesome movie!!! And Thanks again for posting Ned, a man who in my opinion is one of the biggest influences in the amateur fireworks hobby that is out there today! His videos are the BEST!
Thanks for sharing! I miss the old days where I could do experiments as a kid without all the stigma we get nowadays.. I remember building a small cylinder shell w/ white & blue stars bursted w/ flash powder, it spread them quite far in the air and my older brother who was across the (small) town asked what it was when he got home with his friends xD
Born on 5 November, may be just a coincidence, but I was making my first black powder in 1968. Been hooked on fireworks since forever. Long live the pyromaniacs! Greetings from South Africa.
I really thought I had a problem with fireworks. A bit of an obsession if you will. My family definitely still thinks so. But it seems like if anything unifies.... It's fireworks. Kinda makes me feel less alone in that aspect. This is quite a documentary. Thank you for making it
I have the DVD of it :D I was in berlin(germany) at the premiere ^^ It was awesome ;) And i still have a T-Shirt from it with all the firework brands on the back :)

Great documentary guys very well done...gets into the why....really cool to bring in other cultures we may have different cultures but really we are all the same...we are all brothers and sisters on this planet we all come from same creation creator thats pretty unifying ...great flick.
Personal fireworks are banned here in most of Australia.Iv'e been a pyromaniac since i was a kid making my own fireworks at the age of 9. I'm 62 now, and like most of the people making fireworks they say the passion is in your blood. How true. Because of terrorism, even having certain chemicals can get you in trouble. Looks like i'm off to Thailand............Great movie.
i have yet to see any of the fireworks that I had seen when i was a child. One with a wicker basket of roses that bloomed, Another one was a steam loco motive with wheels turning and steam coming out of the stack and a lot more, Never seen anything like that again. What a shame.
I have been obsessing over making fireworks for the past couple of weeks now. Any idea if there is a fireworks making course in Canada? I want to do this responsibly. Just entertaining my friends and family with store bought fireworks is satisfying. Imagine making these beautiful works of art!
I only know of online instructionals. FW 101 is in my RUclips channel in its entirety, and FW 201, 301, and 401, plus many other projects and conversations, are in the website.

Love my fireworks! Unfortunately I live in a state that thinks everything needs to be illegal “NY” so I have to go to PA every year to get them! Nice 3 1/2 hour drive with my dad and spend the day there and shop
Okay. That's it. Sign me up. Where do I need to go to make this happen? I have always had a passion for fireworks, so what are the things I need to do to get involved? I am so down for this.

It’s a completely “family oriented” business, as in Mafia. No one can just start a fireworks company. It also has a huge profit margin. For the amount of material costs compared to sales is easily 500 to 1000 percent.
I love fireworks much. I lived in a forbidden state and the only way we picked them up as a Kid in 1960's was when we would take a road trip out west or south of the mason-dixon line. The only place to get them was a stands or trailers set up at gas stations or restaurant parking lots, no fireworks mega-stores back then. In the past 20 years fireworks have had a fantastic revival. But unfortunately I might suspect this will reverse. "They make too noise, make too much air pollution, and too many injuries. " I don't subscribe to any of that, but busy-bodies and government love to poke their nose into everybody elses business. Its their religion
@@nedgorski funny…seeing as how more than half of the nations in this documentary have much more “socialist” governments than the USA…and they still have fireworks. I think you have more to fear with the big manufacturers pushing laws to keep hobbyists like you out of the picture than any “socialists” taking away your fireworks. Socialism = government owning the means of production, so when the local fire department comes to put out the fire you accidentally started with a rocket, and they do it for free, thank socialism…or when someone breaks into your shop and steals something, and the cops come, make a report, search for and find the culprit-and they, again, do it for free, thank “socialism.” Now when you accidentally blow your hand off making a shell, and your insurance company refuses to cover your medical care, and you’re $275,000 in debt and can’t make fireworks anymore because you had to sell everything you own to get out of debt, thank capitalism. I love your videos, you clearly know what you’re doing and are not stupid, so I’d expect you to know what socialism actually is before saying something like that.
Most accidents come from people trying to make what they need instead of being able to buy it in the correct form to use. At least from what iv read anyways.
When it comes to ball shells, LC, I'd pretty much agree. But, when we see Mexican Castillos, Spain's Fallas, Maltese and Italian multibreak cylinder shells, Maltese Irdieden (fancy, complex wheels), the US hobbyist community and their 'works, etc., we find that many cultures have their own specialized corner on wonderful fireworks.
For the life of me I will NEVER understand why some people build shells with the time fuse on top. It belongs on the bottom with the lift charge. If for some reason the quick match goes out after lighting the time delay, or if the lift fails, you now have an explosion inside the pipe. And if that occurs during a hand light, someone is getting hurt, or worse.
I'm not sure which shells from the video you're talking about. On large shells the time fuse or spollette is the weakest area of the shell. They can't take the force of the gas pressure from the lift and prematurely lights the shells contents. Most builders who top fuse shells run two lengths of fuse to the lift. It's relatively rare that they both malfunction. It certainly happens from time to time, it's fireworking, impossible to control every single variable. The best we can do is what we know to be time tested and safe. Those who hand light large shells are generally very well away or behind a bunker by the time the shells lifts anyway.
Most ball shells are bottom fused, but with cylinder shells, it's safer to top fuse them. Because of their shape and increased weight, the pressure on the bottom of a cylinder shell is much greater than on a ball shell, and the flat shape of that cylinder's bottom is more susceptible to damage and blow through than is the shape of a ball shell. In general, the traditional methods have developed through ages of trial and error, and there are good reasons for the forms they have taken.
Incredible! Now I REALLY want to go out and make some fireworks. That machine gun rocket is amazing! I'm going to attempt it this year. Any tips on chalk salutes?
I just took and passed my licensing test for TN and AL! I’ve been a shooter for 3 years now. I Love it!
I have two questions, do you ever hand fire your shows or is it all e-fire?
And after getting your license to shoot 1.3G does the ATF ever stop by unannounced to check your stuff?
How do you go about getting these licenses?

For the life of me I will NEVER understand why some people build shells with the time fuse on top. It belongs on the bottom with the lift charge. If for some reason the quick match goes out after lighting the time delay, or if the lift fails, you now have an explosion inside the pipe. And if that occurs during a hand light, someone is getting hurt, or worse.
I'm not sure which shells from the video you're talking about. On large shells the time fuse or spollette is the weakest area of the shell. They can't take the force of the gas pressure from the lift and prematurely lights the shells contents. Most builders who top fuse shells run two lengths of fuse to the lift. It's relatively rare that they both malfunction. It certainly happens from time to time, it's fireworking, impossible to control every single variable. The best we can do is what we know to be time tested and safe. Those who hand light large shells are generally very well away or behind a bunker by the time the shells lifts anyway.
Most ball shells are bottom fused, but with cylinder shells, it's safer to top fuse them. Because of their shape and increased weight, the pressure on the bottom of a cylinder shell is much greater than on a ball shell, and the flat shape of that cylinder's bottom is more susceptible to damage and blow through than is the shape of a ball shell. In general, the traditional methods have developed through ages of trial and error, and there are good reasons for the forms they have taken.
Incredible! Now I REALLY want to go out and make some fireworks. That machine gun rocket is amazing! I'm going to attempt it this year. Any tips on chalk salutes?
is activated charcoal suitable for pyrotechnics?
I've not tried it, but others have, and it does not work well.
@@nedgorski thanks!
