jbzeus Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 George, I watched your TSO video also and was wondering about the fence top. Is that CCRs or incancescents? Looks nice!Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a closer look at how it's wrapped: http://vimeo.com/14600642The fence snake is made of 50ct blue LED's. Each segment is approximately 42" long. (That length was chosen only because that's how it fit the fencing.) There's 18 channels on each side of the house. Nice effects, but a real channel hog.

But since you brought it up, what I do is a Christmas light show synchronized to music - not a Christmas music show synchronized to lights. The lights are what people come to my house to see - they can hear Christmas music anywhere.I scratch MY head at people who run the same five or six slow boring Christmas songs over and over... I'd probably pull the plug on something like that before the fifth of December. I do music that I like. (And quite frankly, so should you.) Turns out that I like Pink Floyd more than any Christmas song I've ever heard. Plus, with 60+ songs in the rotation, I guarantee that EVERYONE will hear something they don't like.Hey Steve - were you thinking of any particular number by Zeppelin?

SteveMaris Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 That is exactly what I told my Wife. Sometimes you hear a song you love, and you get a vision of sequencing in your head.George,I have been thinking of doing a medley of some sort with a bunch of Zep songs, just haven't got around to it yet.Zep to me, is Floyd to you:cool:(Like Floyd too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did synchronization for the first time last year and had 15 songs. I do like variety also, but mine is a Christmas music show synchronized to lights. I love Christmas and the message of the season, and look at it as a ministry and a way to bless people and turn their eyes and ears to Christ, the reason for the season.I think my favorite of yours will always be Queen of the Winter Night, because of the originality of the face...

toddmoon Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I personally like Christmas music for my Christmas lights. Adding songs every year, because I LIKE Christmas music. To each his own, right?In order for me to appease my wife I run the music that I like during the first two weeks of my light show during Christmas and then more of the traditional Christmas music stuff for the two weeks leading into Christmas. The Christmas music is all of the standard stuff you will hear in the malls and other than updating the programming to accommodate channel growth I do not put near the time into it that I do my other music selections. If you are going to put that kind of time into it you have to be able to enjoy listening to it over and over again to program it.Interesting enough I have gotten the most feedback from my most off beat selections of music wanting to know the artist and where they could get a copy of the music.So, yes, to each there own.

The wife of an old friend insisted, er, I mean, suggested that I do it last year, although I never got it quite finished.I know what you mean about sitting and watching the visualizer over and over. I'm that way with my favorites too. The new ones for this year I'll probably watch each of them a hundred and fifty times or more between now and setup. Helps to motivate me, or sometimes just passes the time when I need to stretch my eyes and look away from the sequencing grid for a few minutes. Only problem is it often leads to making a few tweaks, which kind of defeats the purpose of taking a break from the sequencing grid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddmoon Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The sequence that I got the most feed back on was song parity of Ozzy Osborne's Iron Man song by Bob Rivers Twisted Christmas - I am Santa Clause.I had both kids and adults that loved it.
