Pyrotechnic flower
An effect designed, sequenced, rigged and initiated by David Howard of Firebrand for Napier's New Year celebrations
While I am semi-retired and do not actively tender for work, I am open to approaches from those who want to experience the wonder of childhood when they stare at the sky. I can design and execute displays that help an audience to fly.
