Indeed, some of these shells are typical for Maltese construction methods.
It's still possible though that someone from non-Maltese origin built the shell. :)

Altought they are multibreak shells of quality stars and have similair effects, they don`t come near the real maltese multibreak shells.
In the filmfragment they explode very low and the stars fall down on the ground.

Maybe they made an attempt to immitate these shells, but lacked the first-hand experience to do so...
Nevertheless, it was still worth watching...

Well in Malta and Italy there is no difference.
All shells explode very low and all stars will burn on the ground. You can see that in our movies of Malta, San severo and San Trifone. For me the low break is just saying it is coming from Malta. Normally i would be for sure but i know that at the PGI people always make great shells and always try to bring something new so it still is a qeustionmark.

I agree with Tommy-gun, Appiehappie and partially with Tony.

Maybe it's due to the quality of the movie, but let's say that whomever made this shell did a nice attempt of trying to copy the masters. Let's give this guy/girl some credit. I envy him/her.

The fact that burning stars fall back on the ground can't be used to judge if the shell was originally Maltese (or Italian) or made by a private person. Since, as Mr.T(ony) says, in original Maltese (or Italian) shells stars often fall to the ground burning as well. :smile:

These actually aren't Maltese style shells, but Italio-american in terms of construction style. The folks that built these (a group of 5 or 6 guys) took the better part of a year to create a show approximately 20-25 minutes in length. These fellows all learned from people who would be considered 'old masters' in the states - almost all of the masters were from Italian families, probably southern Italian, who emigrated to the USA in the early 1900s. Their methods are basically Italian in origin, with some slight modifications that arose from the need to make shells cheaply and efficiently for commercial production in the states.

The show was amazing. We don't see a lot of COMPLETELY hand-built shows here in the states!
