The Festival Pyrotechnique in Cannes is one of the world’s most prestigious fireworks events, attracting top pyrotechnicians from around the globe. Sirotechnics, an award-winning team, put on a stunning show that spanned five barges, ten pontoon boats, and 1,400 feet of water, wowing over 40,000 spectators.

This large-scale display was powered by COBRA, coordinating 3,256 cues across 200 modules, including 28 36Ms and 150 18Ms. With 1.4 tonnes of NEC (net explosive content), the show was perfectly timed and flawlessly synchronized using the Command Center and Control Panel, running SMPTE timecode for perfect timing during the display.

We captured some incredible behind-the-scenes footage of how it all came together, including interviews with Simon Harding of Sirotechnics and COBRA's Zach Gilbert. Take a moment to watch the video and see COBRA in action at one of the largest pyrotechnic events in the world. You’ll get an up-close look at how our system played a key role in bringing their vision to life!
