Christmas 2008 Light Show

2008 was my first year of using animated lighting using Light-O-Rama brand light controllers. The setup had two of their LOR1602W controllers, each with 16 channels for a total of 32. I had roughly 7000 lights for that year. I'm using an EDM FM Transmitter set to 87.9MHz which is indicated by a lighted sign so that cars driving by can tune in (the lights by themselves look fairly odd without the music...). Please forgive the poor quality of the videos - for some reason the camcorder did not focus properly. In either case, a video of this doesn't do it justice - it's much better in person!

Vince Guaraldi Trio - Linus and Lucy
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Nutcracker Suite
Thurl Ravenscroft - You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards In Winter

Christmas 2009 Light Show

Here are the songs that were sequenced for 2009. Many Thanks to Tony Palombo at http://PalomboLights.com who was gracious enough to share his sequences. I borrowed quite a bit from his to make some of mine and they really turned out nice! These videos were taken with a Flip UltraHD Video camera and downconverted to 640x480 WMV format so these are not quite as good as the original but they would be too large to download in H.264/MP4 format. The audio tracks were overdubbed using Cyberlink PowerDirector 8.

THX Intro - Robot Version
Disney - Believe In Holiday Magic
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
Monique Danielle - Carol Of The Bells
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feelin'
Jingle Bells - Techno
Bruce Broughton - Miracle on 34th Street (Overture)
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards In Winter

Halloween 2010 Show

This is a video from Halloween in 2010 where I used rope light to animate a singing Jack-O-Lantern made from round bar..
