Carl G Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 To make the ghost fabric glow an errie blue and really pop out, use Rit Whitener. You can buy it at the grocery store. Or use any blueing agent from the detergent aisle. I soaked the cheese cloth for about 15 minutes, wrung it out, then hung it out on the fence to air dry. Took not time to dry. This was my first time to make a Flying Crank Ghost, and I made it in a few hours this weekend.I caught a virus on my home computer two weeks ago and lost everything. I bought a laptop so I could continue with work, but was giving up onprograming for Halloween and Christmas again. Last week my wife talked me back into buying a cheapo used home computer just for LOR. Thank you everyone that has posted a sequence on the LOR sequence site. I think I can get some songs done for Christmas now. I got some for Halloween so I am back in the saddle again. I HIGHLY suggest that you back up all your work on LOR. I know that I will never make that mistake again.Carl G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austen Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Like others said, the ghost makes it. I watched your other videos, making it seems pretty simple. I might consider that for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh28 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm looking to sequence this song this year. Is there anyway you could send me the sequence you did in the video? I'd greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcraigcx Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi guys. Thanks for the kind words about the sequence. My mailbox is filled with tons of requests and I'll start going through it. I'm happy to share the sequence, but I'm not comfortable handing out the .mp3... just don't think thats cool, especially when you can get it for .99 cents at Amazon.In the mean time, I also sequenced This is Halloween by Manson last year. You can see it on my website, along with some photos of the setup:http://www.pincrush.comWe just moved to a new place in the spring. Went from tiny front yard to a couple of acres, so I'm not quite sure how to pull off a decent display with current equipment. Need more LEDs for sure.Thanks,Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the browse button(located at the bottom of the post window), locate the sequence you want to upload and upload it, then folks could just download it from here.I already own the MP3, so I just need the sequence.For example, here's an 80 channel sequence that I did for my 2010 show, "Come Little Children" the MP3 I recorded directly from my DVD movie Hocus Pocus as it is not available on the movie soundtrack album.But if you just upload your sequence here, then folks can just download it, the sequence DOES NOT contain the MP3 file, so there'd be no problem posting it here.Just a suggestion and my example below shows how it will show up in your post.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 BTW: If anyone does download my "Come Little Children" sequence, found elsewhere in this thread, and needs the MP3 version I created for it, please PM me for it.I know we don't normally share MP3 files, but this one IS NOT for sale anywhere, so I am making my version available to anyone that wants it. (I looked everywhere to purchase it for my 2010 Halloween show with no luck.)Like stated, there is no soundtrack version available that I could find or know of, when I was searching for it, so I recorded directly from the movie itself and created my own custom edited version of the song.The MP3 I have, and again, edited down is only 31 seconds in length I used it as the 1st or last song in my show."Come Little Children" MP3 File size is around 741kb.If you want it, just PM me and I'll tell you where you can get it.

PMC Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Here it is July and I just finished my 1st Phantom Ghost, it wasn't hard to build at all and I purchased the materials atDrillspot.com for the Granger motor (half price + free shipping)and Lowes for the wood and hardware,Wal-Mart for the cheesecloth and RIT Brightner,and a Hair Salon for the foam headI thought about LED's for the eyes but I used white out to add a brighter reflection than the rest of the headtotal cost was $86Now the wife says I have to put it awayHere's my video for it.

ravenscroft Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 If anyone wants a fairly good source for LED's of all varieties here is the site I use http://www.besthongkong.com They are a pretty good supplier and it generally only takes 2 weeks to get the products to my front door from China, most of that time is the US Postal Service......don't get me started. I have been buying LED's from them for about 7 years now and I have made tons of Spots, Floods, Eyes, accents, etc.One company I also like is http://shop.minispotlight.com/ I have met the guy that owns it several times and he is very helpful.....he also buys from BHK but in major bulk. His operation is a family business, his wife make the brass tubes and handles the orders, his son handles the soldering and wiring and he handles everything else like making the bread boards and packaging.
