The film is in the can, now we just have to wait until December 20th to see it on TV. Filming fireworks for the Wispa commercial was never going to be a stroll and by 9.30pm tonight our senior firer Paul Roberts was wondering if he'd ever get home. His day had started at 5.30am when he set off for work from his home in the Midlands. He arrived at Rocket Park, the head office of Fantastic Fireworks, at 7.30am and made sure the vans were correctly loaded for the trip to Alexandra Palace. The rest of the team arrived a couple of hours later and by midday they were setting up for the 6pm scheduled start to the show. This was to provide the closing scene for a 90-second commercial celebrating the return of the Cadbury's chocolate bar. Like all good parties this one overran the expected finish time. But when the Wispa logo finally lit up to put a sparkling full stop to the fireworks, everyone agreed it had been worth the wait.

I saw your work in the Wispa ad and saw an interview with paul on their making of video that's going around the internet. Well done guys. That looked amazing. Just wish I could have seen it on the day.
