POV: You're a Firework 🎆

The story

The camera is the point of view of a firework shell, looking forward from its very tip. It opens in total darkness inside a launch tube, with the rough tube walls rushing past close to the lens. A violent upward launch follows, with the walls falling away and open black sky rushing overhead, heavy motion blur and a slight spin, while a lake and distant bonfire glow shrink far below. The climb slows into a brief weightless pause with stars filling the view. Then the frame floods with brilliant warm gold and orange light exploding outward as falling embers drift past the lens in slow motion, fading to black.
