While we wait for IFA 2006 to really start: This is 51 minutes of high definition fireworks display that I filmed 2 weeks ago in Geneva. It is one of the greatest fireworks in the world, synchronised with the recording of the music that was broadcasted on radio. It is celtic music, and the pyrotechnician are Imagine from France and Panzera from Italy.

This is to enjoy while we wait for my newest videos to be captured, encoded and uploaded, as well as we wait for the IFA exhibition area to open up on the 1st of September at 9AM. I will be walking around the IFA with my HD camera for the whole week producing hours of coverage for you here each day. Tonight there will be the official IFA fireworks, which I will go and film and put here online as well.

2 days before the opening of the IFA 2006 exhibition halls, there is the press conference where the IFA organisers explain how huge the IFA 2006 is going to be, telling lots of statistics. In this video I interview the IFA CTO, which means the actual boss of the IFA 2006, and I also interview the real IFA redhaired girl. They are going to be quite busy during the next week. IFA is the worlds biggest consumer electronics show.
