Well, artistic license I guess... though.. I have heard my neighbors come out and yell the same thing as the house across from Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonstrousMike Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Simply amazing! It's displays like yours that got me to take the plunge into the wonderful world of Light-O-Rama. I've been doing a Halloween display for 15 years, but with LOR this year is my best by far. You are indeed an inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLD Kevin Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Here is the live broadcast on GMA this morning. This is the East Coast Verson. We did a retake for the West Coast because the music was so loud in the earpiece we couldn't hear them asking us questions. You would think they have done this before. West Coast came out much better.http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/halloween-house-draws-millions-hits-youtube-14844462 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSanta Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Absolutely amazing Kevin! As always I'm striving for more. Wish I had the commitment that a lot of you still have! I just need the push again! I still have to get my mind around the CCR's too. Haven't quite got that one figured out yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Okay show of hands now, just how many of you are also getting bombarded with links to Crackers'/Kevins' video via e-mail because someone knows you do about the same thing?I have already had well over 300+ e-mails with the subject line: (EDIT: These just started a couple days ago, so this number may still yet increase by a wide margin!)"OMG!, You have just got to see this Halloween house!"And then it's one of my friends, family members, internet acquaintences or a former co-worker: saying, Hey have you seen this? Isn't this just awesome? I know you do something like this too with your lights, so I thought you'd enjoy seeing this.Anyone else's friends, family members or co-workers bombarding you with Kevins' Halloween House videos/interviews?So has Kevins' new found fame been inundating your e-mail boxes too?Seems this one was gone way over the viral path and has gone MEGA-VIRAL with all the sensation it's getting.I don't even think Kevin thought this would get this wild or widespread as fast as it has.Enjoy the limelight while you can Kevin!Me personally, I hope my displays never get that popular, mildly popular I could deal with, but the madness Kevins' dealing with would, well, just can't think or come up with any words that could desribe that feeling.EDIT2: correcting some punctuation and spelling issues.

Didn't I see this on CNN... sheese... I ALLWAYS give Kevin credit for getting me started for Halloween with the faces and the fantastic work he does. I then show them his youtube video. But people really have no clue about the programming of a show. Last night I was asked, "Can you just pick any song and have it play the faces".. I said, "sure.. after a couple of months of programming". They were utterly shocked at the time it takes. And then that is allways followed by... "Why do you do it?".

f150trk21 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Sure is amazing. I thought about checking it out, I live in riverside, but I think I'll avoid the crowds.So if I have this correct, he spent $18k on controllers?1144 channels/16 per controller=71 controllers at $250 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 900 channels itself. Course, those are $250 each.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLD Kevin Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I wasn't able to say anything, but now that its over...LMFAO "Party Rock Anthem" Redfoo, SkyBlu and the rest of the crew shot a commerical at my house yesterday for KIA. It was sooo crazy and a huge madhouse. It was very cool and the guys are really down to earth and nice. We talked several times over the day and they wanted to know how I created it. I showed them the controllers, software and how I programed it. They were amazed on how it works. SkyBlu and I even shared a beer at a break.It was a very cool experience that I , my wife, kids, family and the neighgorhood will never forget.KevinHere is a few pics...I'll post move later.
