A Season filled with New and Old Faces, Redemptions and Innovations, and most importantly, Sucesses and Triumphs.
Congratulations to the competitors for making this season the best and most creative season from numerous entries making unique entries from show design to layout of the show, many of you didn’t reach the podium but your entry provided creativity and uniqueness that made the judging process hard.
I would like to mention the Smoke effect Issue, it is not clarified if it pertains to the smoke effect in FWSIM exporting to video, the smoke effect in components, or both. So for next season, it will be revised to make the smoke effect both FWSIM export and component illegal.
Lastly, Congratulations to our Podium finishers for this season for creating powerful, unique, and innovative concepts for this season.
Here are the comments for the entries from 9th to 1st:
PyroBzh
(1.0 deduction overtime - 10 seconds overtime)
Love that you used an actual location for your entry but make sure that the effects that you’re using are proportional to the location itself
PiroSud Pirotecnica Virtuale
(0.5 deduction overtime - 5 seconds overtime)
Focus on complex or better formations for the effects and reduce repeating the formations because it provides no thrill or excitement since it repeats again and again. Try to precisely synchronize more when creating your show. Have more variety in your effects to provide thrill and uniqueness in every part/segment of your show.
Cesar Adrian Romero Nieto
Love your song choices but refrain from using the fade-outs too much. Impressed with the pattern shells that you used but when executing it make sure that it highlights and is relevant to a specific part of the song. Focus and try to experiment more with your choreography.
Stephan Gerding
Try to match the energy of the song to your choreography and try to explore more in the formations or layout of your effects to at least match the energy of the songs. Try to explore more in the color usage and execute more types.
Lukas Šeštokas
Try to explore the choreography aspect especially the formations and layering of the aerial shells. Focus on variety in shells when executing to provide uniqueness every part/segment/second of your show.
Mangmod
Love the Japanese style effects but I want more variety in types not just relying on ghost shells or mines. Try to experiment with your choreography since you have great potential in it.
Zulu Pyro
The emotion of the show is truly present and it gave justice to the song choice you put into your entry with high potential in the choreography section, focus on executing complicated/complex positions or formations, and more variety when executing effects.
Frederick Afable
Great show, since you chose high-energy songs I want you to match it more in the choreography and synchronization section since you are half way there. The effects used have a variety of types, layering, and color choices.
Ryan Bab
Like the concept of the show, the energy of the songs matched the choreography and synchronization of the effects. Speaking of effects, focus on creating better layering in your aerial effects because I can’t see the other effects.
