12 Explosions of Christmas with Greg Foot | Head Squeeze

Science Daredevil Greg Foot and qualified Pyrotechnician Mike Sansom present THE 12 EXPLOSIONS OF CHRISTMAS!

Set to specially adapted lyrics sung by the angelic New London Children's Choir, Greg and Mike rig up 12 incredible explosions with fireworks, flames, blasts, booms and bangs! With awesome slow mo and stunning shots it's a festive feast for the senses.

Fancy singing along? Here are the lyrics:

On the twelfth day of Christmas, two science guys gave to me...
12 mince pies a'popping
11 baubles blazing
10 stockings spontaneously combusting
9 reindeers a'rocketing
8 brussels sprouts cannons firing
7 bags of chestnuts roasting
6 presents exploding
5 Santas... on... fire...
4 flaming puds
3 cracking crackers
2 melting snowmen
And an eeeeeeee-pic firework tree!

Huge thanks to the New London Children's Choir, to filmmaker Tristan Goodley, editor Oli da Costa at Fraktiv, and to all the pyro elves at Brightfire Pyrotechnics - especially Glen and Tom.
