PMC Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) They love us, and I think that's an understatement, I was talking to one of the members of TSO a few months ago and mentioned that I'm a sequencer and we were talking about how on some of their new songs they consider, "what would this song look like in lights" so they do consider us to be an important part of their success And in 2011 TSO did a contest for all local synchronizers to submit their video to TSO in each city they did a concert in and that person won a trip to Chicago for the last show of the TSO tour for a meet-and-greet and back stage passes and other swag, I wasn't able to enter since I work for the "business" Edited February 26, 2013 by PMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I totally missed the "black to white" opportunity.... I was hoping you guys would show us how the Masters do it.

Their dedication to our hobby is undoubtedly profound. Thanks also to Dan for the gift certificates. and TSO for the posters. I am so interested in viewing the others videos.

ORANGEDOG Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I can help out Brian by posting my version of the sequence for all to view. Ask any questions and/or give any critiques if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORANGEDOG Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 TonyD - You live close enough to me, I'm out in Fairfield. I'd like to offer any help to you for your display / lightshow leading up to this season. I've mentored four other displays / lightshows in my local area with great success. Even though the forums has an infinite amount of information, sometimes its better discussing issues and working things out in person with another enthusist.

rainyoregonchristmas Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Wow! After seeing the skills of Brian's non-entry I am shocked I even made it on the board with such talent out there. I had great fun participating in the contest this year, next year when I'm in the veteran category, wow... um gonna need a month or so to sequence just to look decent. Thanks again for all of those who put on the contest and contributed. It was a hoot, despite the stress and frustration. Now the waiting... what will TonyD pick... what will he pick? Where'd that Jeopardy post go.... -RainyOregonChristmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Harvey Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Wow i am really surprised and thrilled at the same time! Thanks and congrats to everyone who entered, i look forward to seeing all the videos if possible. Thanks to Brian, George, and Paul for organizing and judging; and to Paul and Don for donating the prizes. I second all the above comments and am equally surprised at being selected a winner. After a bit of experimenting, I have managed to do some sort of screen capture of the animation window.I also tried uploading the sequence file to the forums, but it prooved to be too big even when zipped. If anybody is interested, PM you email address and I will forward the zipped lms file. Animation window video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been hard enough for me to get my static display up each year (10,000 lights this year) so thinking about all that has to be done for an animated display is kinda freaking me out at the moment.

Have you thought about attending a Mini? There are several people that make the journey from California all the way up North to Lacey Washington for the 2012 PacNW Regional CLAP Meeting. I know that Magish01 has posted he's making the journey. It's a great way to connect with others and get some support. I went last year, and am going again this year. Just a thought. Congrats on winning, it was great that us West Coast newbie sequencers could sweep our category. As far as setup, don't worry, as long as you start setting up the day Nov. 1st you should have the kinks worked out by Thanksgiving... maybe. -RainyOregonChristmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
