Technical errors caused 15 minutes worth of explosions to take place within 15 spectacular second,s for San Diego’s 4th of July fireworks show.

Here’s a  different view of fireworks – from above!

My idea was to buy a giant helium balloon and tie it down with two strings, the GoPro camera would be suspended below the balloon. I wasn’t sure if I was going to do this video. It wasn’t until GoPro released their Wi-Fi BacPac that I decided to go through with the idea. The Wifi BacPac allowed you to remotly control your GoPro camera and to view the video live on your iPhone or iPad. I knew this would be perfect because I’d be able to see how the shots were framed and if I was getting the fireworks on camera.

The 4th of July is fast approaching and if you can’t find it in yourself to be responsible with fireworks then please make sure someone is recording it all for YouTube.
