100% agreed with Kablary, this is such a major departure from your previous shows! The slow camera movements already add so much to this and your choreography and syncing have improved vastly! Extremely well done show, especially knowing the fact that you made all your effects! The lighting work on the ground was very well done, but those color schemes were gorgeous! The only piece of advice I can offer on this show is to reduce the colors on the effects and go with a bit more muted colors. If you're aiming for realism, fountains normally don't have that much of saturated colors, reducing the reds and blues to about halfway will make them a bit more muted and add that touch of detail. Apart from that, this show was very well done! Congrats on another beautiful water show - MGL would indeed be very proud someone is carrying the torch of fountains for the next generation!

Thanks to you too!

I was very careful with the lights, I even had to deactivate the particles that reflect in the water since they became saturated.

but thank you very much for the advice, obviously I will take it into account and be more careful for the Second Symphony

This was stunning! Easily your best show to date, with some of your best choreography ever. The color-changing fountains brought an entirely new dimension to the show as well! I really enjoyed the placement of LEDs around the base of yoru fountain groups - that added a level of realism that I think it misisng from a lot of fountain shows. The camera pans were also wonderfully filmed and synced together - just all around an amazing production, Dumaan!

MGL would be very proud  Keep them coming!

Thank you so much!
If I'm honest, I wasn't somewhat satisfied with the choreography, but as I said before, it's because my PC can't handle so many particles.
but I'm happy and surprised that you liked it xd

And as I showed in the trailer, this is a Pack so that EVERYONE can download them (even the fountain/mortars)

I would love MGL to be proud!

It may not be the best choreography I've ever done since my PC can't handle so many effects, so I had to refrain from adding too many effects XD

Coming soon here at Parkcrafters

And thanks to @Kablary for helping me record this video

Very cool show! I've seen you a lot on the Discord server messing with some really cool things in RCT3 - how did you do all the lights on the water? Was that all one effect? Also LOVED how you treated the spinning fans and made them look like crashing waves - most just spin the fan alone but you made them look incredibly cool!

Sorry about delayed answer

for the ConeShooters patterns and lights it is a single firework effect that launches 14 lights or ConeShooters vertically, so there are 12 in total since I put them horizontally (obviously they are 12 horizontal mortars)
(When I refer to Horizontal and Vertical, it is the design/pattern of the ConeShooters)

and I'm glad you liked it

This beast is finally unleashed.......

 

What a learning experience buliding this show was. From managing in-game memory to figuring out how to fill and then film an entire parkmap, this "bite" kicked my ass. After 100 hours, Bite O' Fang is officially done, recorded, and put to sleep. 

 

Below is a continuous "chopper cam" cut of the show, since there is no "golden angle" to film from.

 

Huge thanks to @Dumaan089 and @jaronimo.mov for their gorgeous fountains and endless inspiration. 

a resoundingly MAGNIFICENT AND IMPRESSIVE show

The combination with lasers and my water effects and Jaron's turned out FABULOUS

I love the part at minute 1:21 and 1:29 where the jets are higher and white UFF!!

I prefer the "Helicopter" version more since I can see all the effects

I'm glad you used my effects, I never thought about making effects with AFE, nor did I find an RCT3 community that likes to make MixMaster shows
and create effects packs, that people use and enjoy them :,)

Leaving aside the sentimental, very good show (like all your other shows hehe)

The song should be called "Chariots of Water" 

Great little show, Dumaan! Your chorerography was beautiful. While you called out the over-saturation of the fountains, I still they look great. Almost neon with how the blue and pink overlap at around 2:00. I've become VERY familiar with your fountains over the last several weeks, so it's fun to see how they're meant to be used. One tip, though - the fire works better when the bursts aren't placed so close together. You can achieve the same effect with half the number of fire effects going off. 

I love your set - was that moddled and imported by yourself?

Thanks for the opinion and advice! 

Yes, the set is made by me and is full scale (let's say 1:1)
since now I like to make the fountains in their real size and import it into the game

Here is the recreation of a fountain show at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai

(I know that at some point some of the jets look saturated and don't look good, I'll fix it in the next show :))

¡Guau, me encantan las fuentes! Estoy de acuerdo con Wolfpaw en los colores a lo largo del espectáculo. ¡Fue una actuación muy encantadora! Me gustó mucho.

Thanks a lot!

I'm very glad you liked it :))

Well, that was a fun show! Love how much of an increase in your choreography from your past show is already, you've already made some incredible progress in such a short timeframe. The water really was coming more alive this time around versus your previous show, it's looking awesome! The FCR also adds so much!

The colors were very vibrant, I would normally say to bring them down a touch as they looked very saturated but for some reason the more I watched it, the more I liked it. It works great with fountains because it all just looks so vibrant and colorful - like how an actual fountain show would look if you saw it at night like this in real life. Be careful with the brightness of your lasers though, you don't want to have that whiteout where everything is too bright and you can't see your pretty fountain movements. Overall though a very solid fun short fountain show - can't wait to see the next show, especially with how much progress and improvements you are making!

Thank you!! 
In fact I was very careful with the lights/lasers so that it was not saturated and that the source was not seen.

The Next Show will include, FIRE!! (even though it will take a long time, you know why hehe...)

Wow. There are very few people in the entire world who have an RCT3 fireworks journey like yours, that's amazing!

The advice of @wolfpaw and @Kablary got you covered. With the FCR, I always record the show in segments and piece it together in a video editor. 

Looking forward to your progress and the next show!!

In fact, a few hours ago I finished recording the second show with the FCR Editor, and the truth is that my shows recorded like this really feel different, most of the effects are noticeable and I am satisfied with the result of the camera (although at the beginning It seemed complicated to me but later I understood it)

I thought it was going to be very complicated to record this way, but it really became "easy" for me.

Next week the second show will come out, stay tuned!

That was beautifully done!! Your fountains move so elegantly, and the realistic setting was a very nice departure from the fantastical sets the bulk of us typically use. This show feels very "grounded" in reality. Don't be afraid to experiment with color more, though. Using various shades of oranges, pinks, and purples creates a more interesting color palette, like what you had going at 2:44. Red is stunning, but quickly loses its strength as a color when it is used so much throughout a show. 

Please continue to make shows! You've got the talent! 

Thank you also for the advice. Thank you very much for the advice as it helps me advance in my shows

Very VERY impressive show, especially for someone who is self-taught at choreography and the AFE and who has never been involved in a pyro community before! You have unbelievable potential!

There are a couple of basics on choreography that I can fill you in on to help improve your craft that I've learned over the years of making shows and being involved in the RCT3 pyro community:

• Colors Matter - The colors you use during your show are very important and can help evoke specific emotions you'd like your audience to feel. The norm of these color palettes can be found below but don't be afraid to mix and match! You don't have to follow these rules to a T, story and music are always king in your show and that is what you should always build your show around.
  • Reds/Oranges/Yellows - Climax, conflict, action sequences. This is usually the ultimate climax of your show and can often be paired with fire for even stronger sections. Though depending on what red is paired with, it can also show passion and love.
  • Blues/Greens/Purples - Softer sections, calm and buildups. These three colors all go well with each other and can be used when your music is building up or is very calm. Other more obvious things such as nature, healing, culture, etc can all be shown with these colors.
  • Whites - Resolution, finales, purity. Normally when something has been resolved in the music or story of your show, whites are your go-to.
• Camera Movement - This one is more advanced and you can start easing your way into this but RCT3 has a flying camera editor so you can make nice sweeping shots of your show instead of just having a static camera. It adds so much to your show so feel free to start playing around with it! You can press CTRL + Shift + 0 in game to open up the FCR editor.
• Syncing - Your sync was pretty spot on for this show but don't be afraid to add more effects! When the music swells really make that lagoon jump up and dance. The small ripple effects you had on the water were a very nice touch! Just be careful to not go overboard with effects - especially when it comes to fountains! Particles in RCT3 are additive meaning that if you layer on a lot of particles the result will just be a big white blob. Fountains use a lot of particles to make them look like streams so you can easily get that whiteout. That was not a problem in this show at all but just keep that in mind for future shows if you're wanting to add more effects.
• Lighting - Your lighting in this show was pretty basic and resembled more of the realistic lighting that these shows use - which isn't a bad thing at all. Always remember you can do a lot with lighting in RCT3. Lasers can add so much to your show and you can place them pretty much anywhere you'd like and base aim them to do whatever you'd like. Having some flat lasers on the water line in this show wouldn't have been a bad idea to add.

These are just some basic examples of advice that I can give you for now! Like I said before, this show is a very very good show for someone who has been 100% self-taught. You have incredible potential and I can't wait to see what you do next and where your craft will go!

Thank you SO MUCH for the advice, it really helps me since I'm not very good at doing my own choreography (I've always been about replicating real life shows in the game)

Colors are my weak point to be honest, but your advice will help me for my next show (which is already finished, but now I'm going to review it)

I really thought about using FCR, but I don't know if it's recorded in parts or if it's all in one take, I would need help with that

This is very helpful, thank you
