Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) 2008 is held in the month of August in conjunction with the country’s independence day celebration.
I was planning to go for a show on Wednesday, but the weather was not permitting; will try my luck again on Sunday. Meanwhile, catch a video below, produced by an official media partner of MIFC with the Malaysian team performing on August 12.
Besides the Malaysian team, other teams that are competing in the event this year are from China, Spain, Canada and Australia.
Update – check out a few photos taken by yours truly during one of the shows.
nice video. i luv fireworks!
wow, this is cool. I’ve never known this kind of competition. I am curious about how they score.
Joseph… they score by creativity, artistic, execution and synchronisation with the music.
Thanks Yein. Fireworks are also loved here in JP but synchronisation with the music sounds new.
I think the sync can only be seen (or listened) in this kind of competitions. In most cases it’s not logical to sync it with the music, because people are watching from distance at different locations.
