jcraigcx Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Here is a video of my Lightorama yard haunt. The song is Tubular Hell by Van Helsing's Curse. 16 channel LOR. Lighting is 7 18LED spots from minionsweb.com, 5 regular 100w floods from Home Depot, a cheapo strobe from Walmart, a really nice 75w Chauvet strobe, 2 flaming cauldrons, and some Walmart pumpkins. FCG lit by 4 ft black light and has black felt curtains hanging behind it to crush the ambient light.Hope you like it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryebred Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 That ghost is neat with its eery blue glow. Did you make the ghost yourself or buy it somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I made it over a weekend back in September. Google Flying Crank Ghost for lots of information. If you look at my channel on YouTube, you'll find a couple of other vids of just the ghost (including how its done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mitchell Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The steady on ghost really balances everything out. Without it , it would just seem very flashy. The effect of steady with flashy works perfectly.Great song too.Love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the LEDs instant on/off characteristics. I've thought about going back and pulling out some of it. I made some other sequences where I'm trying to do more fading in and out and not be quite so aggressive. Hopefully I'll improve as I go.It does help when the fog machines are running as they soften it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray Augsburg Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wow! Excellent job of sequencing. Like the others, I really like the FCG always being illuminated, while the light show happens around it. But what really impresses me is the way you determined the important musical points and pulled them to the forefront using only sixteen channels. Really proves the utility of the LOR controller.And that killer strobe . . .Wow! (I know, I said it before.) Really well done!Cray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I saw a pretty good looking ghost at Party City today that has wrists and neck bound by chains and a cheese cloth material that could work for making it glow. Might be too stiff to animate though. currently $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
