Updates Below

With the upcoming holiday, I just really wanted to do this.

Most of the scene is just copy/pasted. Im not sure what im going to do with it, but whatever I do it needs to be fairly simple to keep the file size down.

How does the fireworks look? Im sure I could do better, but its a massive amount of work so id be happy with convincing.

Also I don't have to animate this, I could just merge a couple frames for a good action shot.

Wow, nice smooth looking animation.
Maybe you could add more brighter light when the fireworks flash, and that would look great.

The fireworks look amazing. I think you've done an excellent job. :) But in your spare time, I would put a little more detail on the ground below. Maybe some dirt texture?

Lol, he's standing waaay too close to be a good example to the kids.

Nice stuff, i agree with what the other people are saying. I also think the proportions for things seem a tad out. But getting them right for the firework hieght and explosion breadth would need a stupidly large canvas, so theres not much need to change that.

I wish I could have posted this sooner. My internet was down and I used that time to redraw the animation, rather than lengthen it.

It's much slower/detailed this time around. I also used a more realistic palette, and extended the canvas so it breaks higher.

It's just a single burst for right now. I'll focus on the ground next.

Nice. I think it should continue to rise as it bursts, as now it seems to stop in midair to burst, which looks odd.

Some of the pieces of the fireworks should fall a little faster. You know how firework pieces burst out and than fall but it's still light so it looks like falling shooting star, for lack of a better description. Sorta like that.

Small update :

The initial explosions have been removed, it rises some after it bursts, and ive added a glow in the first couple frames of the burst. I havent changed the falling effect yet though.
