In this highly engaging Independence Day episode of Pyro Talk, we sit down with Ocean Williams—an up-and-coming fireworks innovator whose passion for chemistry and storytelling is lighting up the industry. Ocean isn’t your typical young adult. While others were playing video games, he was buried in books, labs, and launch sites. His unique path led him to invent smokeless black powder—yes, you read that right—a new product that’s already caught the eye of major players in the industry.
We dive into the art of scripting a fireworks show through Ocean’s lens: how story drives the sequence, how emotion shapes the soundtrack, and how color, layering, and chemistry fuse into unforgettable displays. More than just shells and spark, this episode is about the fire inside—the story of a young person who turned “weird” into wonderful, and ideas into innovation.
Celebrate the Fourth with a fresh voice in pyro, and find out what the future of fireworks looks—and sounds—like.
