Thanks

Just a small Canon HF100 camera with wide angle converter. Apparently not wide enough, I still chopped off the top of the fireworks anyway. I need something like a 16mm equivalent (in full frame camera terms)

Shot from the bridge between Esplanade and the Merlion. The people were definitely screaming, but I think you can't hear them because I had the mike attenuator on. It reduces the sensitivity of the mike so it only picks up the loudest sounds - the fireworks. If not the audio will be too loud and clip with lots of click noises.
