[Sigia-l] Fireworks notation

[Sean Lawrence]

I mean the real ones not the Macromedia app.  I went to go see a friend put
on a fireworks show last night at a sky diving facility.  While I was
watching the silvers, oranges, and various other colors twinkle and pop, I
got to wondering how pyrotechnicians choreograph their displays.  Do they
use a notation system (sort of like they mention in the movie Scratch), draw
diagrams, just make a list?

Every one around me is oohing and aahing and I'm sitting there ruminating on
how they design the show <sigh>.

Has anyone ever heard how they do work this out?

Thanks,

Sean
