I see the avant-garde style of artist is still in you 😅 Your shows were always using non-traditional stuff, I always viewed them as just the off-brand person doing what they love, and that's still very present to this day. While the music is not something I listen to it's pretty interesting to see someone choreograph to it - I would don't think I could ever picture a show in my head when listening to a song like this. Then again I just saw one... so I'm just left feeling confused (good confused don't worry) Fun to see you return to RCT3 - let's see you play some more with lighting for your next show too!

That's such a blast from the past to see all of those shows @Kablary! I remember Ragtime very well... it never got finished right? You can see all my past shows and stuff on this topic here. I'll spare you all the details and story of me getting into RCT3 and stuff before I officially made my first "project" and shared it online, haha

A nice start! It's hard to tell pyro scenes with just an image but that second picture is definitely pretty - careful with the whiteout though! This is especially true with fountains, they are the easiest to get that whiteout since there are so many particles contained in such a small stream (just look at my World of Color - whiteouts everywhere, haha). Since particles are additive in RCT3, you just get easy whiteouts with fountains. It's not too bad in that second picture but keep that in mind when choreographing.

Man.. all of your coasters are always so consistently good and well executed - another masterpiece from the m'lord himself.

Much better! Those arches in the back really help to tie everything together and the centerpiece is now much more dynamically interesting. My only last recommendation would be to maybe sink in the outer solid walls you have on the left and right more into the ground a bit to lower them along with the two outer pillars you have. This will keep that escalating pattern you have with your arches in the back but if not the set is already a massive improvement. Nice job!

I believe I've given you most of my pointers on the set in private when you asked but Kablary does bring up a good point that I've never really noticed with this set - some of the elements themselves do get lost in the background which only strengthens the recommendations I gave you regarding the set. Right now to me, it looks a bit empty as you have scattered pieces everywhere - the individual elements themselves are fine and look nice but I feel you need an overarching structure to tie it all together to make it feel a bit more cohesive. The other recommendation I believe I gave you is that the set needs a bit more verticality to it, the current one is very horizontal and low... having a bit taller centerpiece with maybe some other elements coming out of it can tie this entire set together. When building symmetrically shaped sets like this one, all the elements on the left and right sides should suck your eye in and focus your view on the grand centerpiece. Improving on that centerpiece will definitely add so much more to this set! Also, I just remembered that this was a logo I made for you waaaaaay back then and completely forgot, I was so confused why you gave me props but I remember now 🤣

Ahhh such a cool little short show!! Super infectious - loved how colorful it was and that laser work is still the showstopper! Real shame about the lag during the camera movements, you need to upgrade your machine! What a triumphant short show to return to pyro for you, just a flat-out colorful show that is just exactly what it is - a bite of fun. Nailed it right on the head with this one, super excited to see how you can transition that fun feeling into the other main elements of your other short shows such as bark and horror. Congrats on finishing your first show after all these years, even if it is just a tiny one - a big achievement! The only thing that I can say as an improvement is to really fill that sky with pyro, especially on the very big obvious beats. Your groundwork was stellar but man, that laser work is what really steals the show. And to think you didn't even play much with lasers before this! Congrats on finishing this fun bite, super excited for your next ones!!

Given that you worked on this show for such a short span of time I'll save most of the advice points I would give but I can only echo what has been said so far - despite not being a big fan of this type of music your ability to maintain that high energy for a 4-minute song is always impressive. I do agree with Kablary on the lighting, the lighting throughout the show was a bit bright and it washed away some of the nice big-impact moments you had and blanded out some of the color schemes. Given that this is using the same set as 'The Call' I can only compare to it and could offer up a few points: - I noticed the camera was static the entire show, I know you were having some issues with this new recording method and moving the camera and you created this show in such a short time but never underestimate the dynamics that a moving camera can have on a show. Shows can get very boring very quickly, moving the camera keeps the viewer engaged and tricks them into always seeing a "new angle of the show", which in turn keeps them more engaged and entertained! - Batteries, batteries, batteries! I know this has been brought up before but it has been a recurring theme I've noticed in most of your shows - would love to see you stray away from using so many batteries and to hand choreograph some of the sections. I understand this type of music can get repetitive - which is the perfect time to use batteries - but I would be very interested to see a more hand-crafted intimate choreography to see what you can really do. You're not miss-using the batteries, I just think there's too much of a reliance on them - Interact more with the set: I noticed most of your laser placements were emitting around the same style and position throughout the show. Like I said before since this is using the same set as 'The Call' I can only compare to it but in that show, I had laser cones coming out from the top of the tower along with banner lasers throughout the back of the set - would be really cool to see more interaction with the set, though I did love what you did with the LED walls. Just a couple of points I noticed but it is a very well-done show for such a short time, excited to see what you do next!

Awesome tutorial - thanks for sharing! For those that have Photoshop, it has a similar tool to this to stitch together photos to make a panorama shot. The process is generally the same as well!
