Fireworks In Douglasville, Georgia – July 4th, 2008

Friday, July 4, 2008 by Richard Nichols

Every year Douglasville has an outstanding fireworks display to celebrate Independence Day. In 2007 the event was delayed until Labor Day due to the devastating drought in this region. This spring and summer we have had much more precipitation. We photgraphed the fireworks from the front west parkinglot at Arbor Place Mall looking towards Hunter Park.

This 16 minute video was created with our Panasonic HDC-SD1 AVCHD high definition video camera with Dolby 5.1 surround sound. The software used in converting the movie for the web is Moyea Flash Video MX Standard. The Moyea software created a Flash video (.FLV) file for the web which was 27 times smaller than the original .AVI file. In turn, the .AVI file was converted from the 1.6 gigabyte AVCHD format file created by the camera using Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate video editing software.

    That’s fabo technology, Richard. Amazing clarity! But so much shooting and screaming. I love it when your voice comes on. Were there any casualities, or were they all near-misses? kat

    YEA! this came up easily and was great fun! I thought about the difference in still vs video–I had to shoot when I saw the cone, not knowing where the firework would actually be-but you got to capture real time blowout plus sound–that must be why you love video so much–THX
