HarvDog Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Once again, our Christmas light display will be animated to music. There are nearly 16,000 lights (including strobes), over ¼ miles of extension cords, and 48 channels of computer animation synchronized to music. The three songs that are sequenced are: • Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by The 101 String Orchestra • Carol of the Bells by The Carpenters • Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness) by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Our display went live on Saturday, November 29th. Shows will run every 20 minutes from 5pm until 10pm Sunday - Thursday and from 5pm to 11pm on Friday and Saturday evening. Visitors can tune their radio to 88.1FM when visiting our display to "Listen to the Lights" For those that are unable to visit, I have included links to videos of my display: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - 2008 http://vimeo.com/2484982 Carol of the Bells - 2008 http://vimeo.com/2485025 Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness) - 2008 http://vimeo.com/2484993 Our house made it in the local newspaper. Here is a link to the article: http://www.insidenova.com/isn/community/from_us/montclair_dumfries_triangle/article/in_montclair_literally_the_sounds_of_the_season/26049/ Hope you all enjoy!

HarvDog Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Wondered about that myself...catch any grief from the grinches Harv??? Most of my neighbors are very cool with it and actually encourage me. The guy right next to me offered to help and we even discussing doing something together. My other neighbor is a little weird (and not just about my lights) but he still enjoys them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backwoods07 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Just out of curiousity, how long from step one to putting on a show does it take you? I would imagine you have to start hangin lights in July?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Just out of curiousity, how long from step one to putting on a show does it take you? I would imagine you have to start hangin lights in July?! I usually start the week after Halloween and go (off and on) until the weekend after Thanksgiving. Sequencing of the songs taking several hours each and I usually do this throughout the year. Building new elements (like my 6' star) usually happens during the summer. By the way, I had some great traffic this weekend. Must have been a result of the newspaper article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
