That was pretty cool. I think I would have preferred the music just softly in the background with the audio from the GoPro, though. The reports would have been pretty good, though the drone from the helo would have been intrusive.

I have some friends who own a pyrotechnic company in Colorado and a few years ago while on vacation I helped them with a Labor Day show. It was really cool to help set things up (you wouldn't believe the amount of work required) and during the show I was "behind the line" as a spotter when the show went off. What I still remember most is feeling the compression waves as the launch charges went off from the larger tubes. If I lived there I'd definitely help them out more often.

What does such a spotter do?
