The white lights aren't involved at all (other than for the random flash periodically). The rooftop row is either C9 type or minis that are doubled up (string folded in half or something similar). My guess is that somebody could contact Bill if they are interested in recreating such an effect themselves. It is just "academic" to me. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim6918 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why do you guys have to punish us like this? This sequencing and design is so good I feel like hitting the Format button on my Show computer. I could sequence for years and never approach anything like this. Magical.

marsh28 Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 So, I've been kind of obsessed with this video and have been trying to replicate the "bounce" effect in it. Last night, I think I finally got it and I'll post a video soon. To get this effect, I used 3 lights strands staggered approximate 4 inches above each other. The top strand is a plain strand of minis while the bottom two strands are icicle lights. However, the harder part was getting the sequencing right (a surprising amount of fade-ups, fade-ins). Again, I'll post both the video and my sequence this weekend so people can have a gander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pest Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It is my thinking that he has a set of regular mini's put into the edge between the roof and shingles(1 White & 1 Blue).He then has at least 3 each down layered Soft White, Blue, White. For the bounce he goes ON the mini's, and fades bottom white up when it hits say 50% he on's top white set full and bottom set off, then fades top ice down as minis come ON.Or possibly it is set like thisMini WhiteMini Blue4-6 inch gapSoft White IceBlue IceBright White IceSoft White is used for chase around roofI also think he is only going down to about 50% on Ice before 0% not a full fade down.So with the gap it could seam like a bump/jump/bounce but I think he has done an awesome job of it. Would like one of the others to test my theory and see if I figured it out.That also means how to drop from 50% to 0% instantly. I'm gonna play with software and see but I can't check it out with lights yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have tried to replicate the effect. The light configuration I use is different than marsh28's. But I do agree, the sequencing took a lot of work to get the timing and fades 'just right'.Jim likes to give stuff away....what is the prize going to be, sweetie?

Jerry Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 OK, saw this done ,saw it in person. This display had c9s on the edge of the shingles, and ONE set of icicle lights hooked under the gutter. What you see that looks like more than one set of icicles is the reflection off the siding. Also it looks more pronounced the farther away you get.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box on Rails Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Try this animation sequence. It's pretty simple really. step back when using the animation window. This is not an up close effect. This is the best I've seen to match. Attached files Bouncing lights.las Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqumada286 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 With the help here, I managed to replicate the effect, but I need to wait and see what it looks like in real life.Torqumada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Cockroft Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Does anyone have some more LOR sequencing examples of this effect they wouldn't mind sharing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Here is the show I saw in person ,with the "roof bounce". Watch Amazing Grace for it. They also have a mega tree built with sleeves (I think) , VERY cool. Enjoy. www.kevinkolak.comJerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
