Hey Jerome,

Nice picture, but do you think you can show me the different aspects and concepts/parts that make it up? In other words, can you explain it by sort of "disecting" it piece by piece, such as the different chemicals, etc.

Just of curiosity, are you going to be a pyrotechnician, Jerome? You seem to know plenty in the field! That's great, I think!

Hey Jerome,

Thank you for the pictures. In the last picture, are all of those materials in the back roman candles, or different types of them?

And yes, I think it's absolutely fabulous that you help out with professional displays! I really had do idea!

Hey Jerome,

Are all the shell sizes wrapped up like that? They look like mini hot air balloons! Oh yes, can you also show me a pic of the effect when it's launched?

Thanks,

Trav.

Hey Jerome,

Thanks for the information on the shell design. Now I understand why they look like that! So, basically, it's easy to recognize a shell because of it's formation.

Hi Jerome,

Congradulations on becoming a pyrotechnician . I have a few questions for you. How is it being a pyro? I bet it's lots of heavy and stressful work. Also, how is the salary (sorry if I'm being a bit rude ). The reason why I ask is because I would like to get my pyrotechnic licence in order to work with the staff at La Ronde. I would start by working at night getting the site ready for the next firm, but it would be a hell of an interesting start . Is there anything specific in becoming a pyro? Any qualifications required (well besides getting the licence)? BTW, what qualifications do you need to become a pyro designer/creator/programmer. My background is in software engineering. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Jerome.

hello dan i whrite my text in french because is too long for me to explain.
bon le métier d'artificier n'est pas une job facile.il faut pelleter du sable,porter des boîtes,faire les branchements etc ce métier ce fait dans les 4 saisons alors il peut y arriver qu'il faut que tu prépare un feux a l'extérieur a - 40°c ce qui n'est pas facile,le salaire dépendra de l,expérience que tu as dans la pyrotechnie et dans la firme que tu iras.tu peut travailler a temp partiel ou a temp plein.comme par exemple,moi je veux aller artificier pour travailler dans une fabrique de feux d'artifice et les allumers en gros j'veux aller maître artificier.pour devenir artificier il y a rien de plus faciles,
tu doit juste aller prendre un cours d'une journée offert par la division de la règlementation des explosifs (DRE)ce cour d'une journée seras basé sur la sécurité dans la pyrotechnie,durant ce cours ont te donneras le manuel de l'artificier.pour t'inscrire voici le site : http://www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/mms/explosif/edu/edu_displayA_f.htm

et par après il te faut la carte de la sûreté du québec si tu veux manipuler les poudres et explosifs.enfin bref, après le cour t,as juste a contacter une firme qui t'engageras.Il n'y a pas de formation,l'expérience seras ta formation.le travail d'équipe est très présent lors d'un montage du feux d'artifice.tu devras mapinuler beaucoup d'outil (ciseaux,ruban adhésif etc).tu connaîtra d'autre firme d'ailleur dans le monde.tu devras suivre leur méthode de montage car chaque pay a une méthode différente
enfin bref il faut que t'aime vraiment la pyrotechnie sinon tu trouveras sa épuisant et long.moi je n'ai que 15 ans,mais c,est rare a mon âge que je suits vraiment passioné et de j'ai une bibliothèque de connaissance.j'ai des amis artificier qui sont très surpris de mes connaissances,alors il m'on engagé pour faire un feux d'artifice le 23 juin pour la fête de la saint-jean.dans le québec il y a plusieurs firme:concept fiatlux,ampleman pyrotechnie,BEM pyrotechnie,royal pyrotechnie etc.en tout cas ne t'inquiète pas les artificier sont en demande parce que il en manque !!!! en tout cas c,est tout ce que j'avais a dire sur le métier d'artificier.

salut

jérôme

Hi Jerome,

Wow, some really interesting stuff! I'm still interested . Actually, you increased my interest . I wonder if a company will hire me for 2 and a half months only. The reason why I ask is because I'm going to Italy this summer to visit my family. I'm leaving the 16 of July and returning August 18 (I think ). I'm planning on getting my licence in the end of April or beginning of May when I finish University. Also, I didn't know the demand was high for pyros. BTW, do you guys travel together when assembling displays or do you meet up?

Dan
