Wrong, of course they are. They are trying to convince us this is notable/unique footage of a real phenomenon from a remarkable perspective. If it's just manipulated and sweetened to the point you don't know which streaks are real and which fake, it loses all possible value. Firework streaks are trivial to animate/mirror/replicate.
And running the footage BACKWARDS? There's no possible valid reason to do that. It's a dreadfully lazy 1920s era special effect.
How can I be impressed by something when I can't reasonably believe it to even be real?
I believe for now a drone was used, but I can't trust any particular segment of that video to be an accurate depiction of what the camera captured.
My point was that the producer did a real disservice to the entire concept by overproducing the presentation to the point it's indistinguishable from a really bad segment of Disney's Fantasia.
