Fire is dangerous because it's addictive. You constantly have to make bigger and bigger fireballs. The first 20 or so aren't dangerous, but once they start getting 20-30' tall, you're running serious risks.

Fortunately my neighbors missed it and didn't spot the smoke ring curling 200' into the sky.

Some day, I'm going to make a 200' fireball. I'm going to have 100 people filming it with cameras and I'll stitch it into a point cloud and make it 3D and stuff like that.

I also use Turbulance 4D and LW3D for computer generated fire. I think it's cooler than Fume FX.

Anyways, for more details, check out the instructional video I made about these fireballs. vimeo.com/21085689
