The fireworks industry is changing...and some of the biggest changes are happening thousands of miles away.In this episode of Pyro Talk, we sit down with Sheryl and John, representatives from China, for an inside look at what’s happening in Chinese fireworks production following the recent factory explosion. We talk about how factories are being forced to adapt, changes to production and safety, and what all of it could mean for the global fireworks supply chain.And for the American fireworks industry, there are MAJOR changes coming.We dig into what U.S. importers, retailers, display companies, and fireworks enthusiasts could begin seeing as the effects of these changes make their way across the Pacific.We also take a closer look at FireworksWorld.net, a global fireworks community operated by JYXEXPO, an exhibition company based in Hunan, China, connecting fireworks manufacturers, professionals, and industry partners from regions such as Hunan and Jiangxi with the global fireworks community.This isn't just a conversation about what's happening in China. It's about what happens next, and how it could reshape the American fireworks market.DEALS 10% off of MuuxBRD order using code PT10. https://muuxBRD.com/Get 10% off Pyro Vault by using the code PYROTALK at signup—https://pyrovaultapp.comLuxeSFX.com Check out the brand new flame machines!Pyrotool.com PTALKPOD for 10% off!Need MJG Igniters?

I had a chance to be on the barge at WEB in Riverfest. This is the instant reaction to the show. Thank you again to Joe Rozzi for the invitation and the opportunity to be on the barge for this incredible show!
Recorded live at the PGI Convention, we sit down with the Veverka Brothers, Hannah, and Terry, the people behind Passfire, for a look at what it took to document the world of fireworks from the inside.We dig into how the original Passfire documentary came together, how an ambitious idea turned into a journey through the global fireworks community, and some of the stories behind the camera. The Veverkas share which scenes got a little sketchy to film, the challenges of capturing pyro culture as it really happens, and some of the moments that made the project unforgettable.Plus, we look ahead. What's next for Passfire, and where do they take the project from here?It's filmmaking, fireworks, a few questionable situations, and plenty of stories—recorded right in the middle of the community that helped inspire it all.DEALS 10% off of MuuxBRD order using code PT10. https://muuxBRD.com/Get 10% off Pyro Vault by using the code PYROTALK at signup—https://pyrovaultapp.comLuxeSFX.com Check out the brand new flame machines!Pyrotool.com PTALKPOD for 10% off!Need MJG Igniters?

What does it take to combine airplanes, fireworks, drones, lasers, and explosives into one massive nighttime spectacle—and somehow keep everything perfectly on time?In this episode of Pyro Talk, Straz from On Final FX takes us behind the scenes of the incredible nighttime shows at EAA AirVenture. We dig into the precision required to move aircraft through the airspace while fireworks and pyro are firing around them, the equipment and technology that make it possible, and the communication needed when there’s virtually no room for error.Straz also walks us through one of the biggest challenges most spectators never see: getting an enormous amount of equipment, effects, and personnel into position—sometimes with only a two-hour window to make it happen.From pyro-equipped aircraft and drones to lasers, dynamite, and massive fireworks sequences, this is a look at what happens when aviation and pyrotechnics collide.Cleared Hot: How On Final FX Sets AirVenture on Fire is a conversation about precision, trust, teamwork, and the controlled chaos required to create one of the most unique nighttime spectacles in the sky.DEALS 10% off of MuuxBRD order using code PT10. https://muuxBRD.com/Get 10% off Pyro Vault by using the code PYROTALK at signup—https://pyrovaultapp.comLuxeSFX.com Check out the brand new flame machines!Pyrotool.com PTALKPOD for 10% off!Need MJG Igniters?
