Alastair said:The Jubilee version is far better. The biggest mistake made on "official" fireworks videos are often that they just overdub the on site audio with the soundtrack - covering up the sounds of the bursts. Jubilee have got the mix right, and it's great quality too.

I can't see AT/merlin getting someone else to do the fireworks with all the positive comments it got this year.
It certainly seemed like they'd made a significant cut to the actual pyro budget compared to previous years - there weren't as many large shells as in the past, with much more low-level stuff to compensate. There were also significant gaps between each section of the show with nothing really happening which hasn't been the case in the past. The addition of the storyline meant it was still a better show than in the last couple of years, but it was clearly a weaker display.BigDave said:I heard that this years firework display cost less than last years?
