WiggyHD Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My kids came running in the door after school saying: "One of our teachers asked if it was our house he heard about on the radio". Cool huh!While I was trying to video at dusk (sunset behind my house though), a car stopped and told me that it was worth all of my effort! Cool huh!Thanks to all who have guided me through this first season! Five sequences so far, and trying to add another one by the end of the week. Saving up for another controller for an animation of trees between shows.THANKS!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanBry77 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Very cool! This is my first season too, I've only got 3 sequences done, started late and had no idea what I was doing setting up stuff etc, so I plan to do a Halloween show and plan/prepare and really go crazy lol.I'm trying to add a couple more sequences as well.

Lester Stone Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 There is not a better feeling than seeing a child smile when the show is on. we are all kids inside and the warmth is felt by all. good luck with all your blinky blinky's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiggyHD Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 We live just outside a small town city limits, and I don't know of anybody else doing this with the exception of the city park does a big animated show. My kids are making new friends since they heard about the lights, and asking my girls "when are they on?", "can we park in front of the house and watch?". We have two driveways with on of them being a circular drive. I'm thinking next year (if finances are willing) I will do the hoop thing along the circular drive and that animation will stop when the show starts and they can drive through a tunnel of lights?This has been just too much fun! My wife is finally into it since she watched the first time.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLMCRZY Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I see there are at least two more Arkies doing light shows. Wonder how many more there are? I know of one more here in NE Arkansas and two in Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I close the gate to the driveway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike in tulsa Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Word of wisdom to you 1st year newbies. Congratulations on gettings your displays up and running. Last year I had a tour bus that would show up in front of my house so I know the feeling. This is my 3rd year to do a Christmas show and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. I have been running around like a mad man as I let the year get away with me. So... the moral to the story is to pace yourself throughout the year and keep programming, and most of all, have fun. There are a lot of sequences around that you can download and adapt to your particular display. Here is one of the links: www.sequencecenter.com/Take care,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
