This was a very good display indeed – much better than last weeks South Korean entry. The show got off to a very exciting start and the choreography was particularly good.
A theme which ran throughout the entire display was the use of shells which contained very vivid blue stars together with extremely bright green firefly stars. These were put to very good use and at one point there were mines containing blue stars at the top with the green twinklers beneath, mid-height shells with the same and very high shells as well.
In fact, very great (and effective) use was made of mine-type effects and these were very well choreographed with the Rock and Roll music that the display was set to. The Beatle’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was a particularly good choice!
Another memorable effect was that of two shells which produced a large spiral pattern of stars, one “wound” in one direction, and one in the other.
Very great use was also made of star break comets (crossette – a comet star which splits into several smaller stars at the apex of its flight).
The finale was spectacular with a great deal of very large titanium salutes and again a combination of blue stars and green twinklers. The crowd was very impressed with this show.
