Fireworks video from the July 4th Freedom Celebration in Champaign, IL. Video was taken about 3 miles away from the fireworks site. This is the last 4.5 minutes of the show.

Camera: Canon HV20 on Fireworks mode.
Audio: Rode Shotgun microphone.

The odd thing is that I could barely hear the fireworks in person as I had the radio cranked up for the music. However on the video, you hear the fireworks much louder than the music. (shotgun microphone working well!)

    That microphone really did a great job considering how far the fireworks were from the camera. Nice setup, nice how you got both the low altititude and high shells in the same frame.

    Thanks for the comment. I think next year I might just go to the park and get an up-close and personal shot of the fireworks. (if I want to battle the traffic that is!)
