Bugano from Switzerland, Winning display of 2010 Pyronale Fireworks Competition in Berlin
Posted by – September 5, 2010
Category: Other, Exclusive videos
This is the full fireworks display by Bugano fireworks artists from Switzerland. Every year during IFA, there is the Berlin Pyronale fireworks competition on the outside of the Berlin Olympiastadion. This video is filmed with my Sanyo HD1000 that I have since the beginning of 2008, really sorry about the manual focus set to infinity and scene select to “fireworks mode”, it seemed fine in my 3.2″ viewfinder of the camera but this seems really out of focus in full screen. I wish to buy a better camcorder soon if I can afford a really good one with amazing video quality and much better focus and low light options, one that films better consumer electronics interviews and fireworks displays, with better 1080p mode. But, I only plan to do that once I can find a camcorder that can do great 1080p at “uploadable” bitrates, thus uses newest and best quality compression to keep low uploadable file sizes.
