Jeff Messer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I am sure I have seen this posted on here but could not find it. How or what was used to make this roof jump. I will be doing this sequence this year and hope the owner of this house is on LOR. Ideas anyone? Maybe someone on here has the sequence to it.

ezimnow Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Jeff I'll PM you on this I have done this for a few years ...this one is from 2012 EZ Edited June 27, 2015 by ezimnow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 the way I would do it is several strands of lights with a fast ramp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien407 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Here is a link to another version of this. Look at the roof line and you will see that there is a line of what looks like C9s and directly below them are icicle lights. It appears to be a simple 2 channel chase. I admit I haven't done this but it appears to be relatively simple. Study the video to look at the roof line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Jeff, this was with a row of C9s or C7s and icicles like Alien407 mentioned above. I remember reading about it a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was looking for it on here and its my plans to pull this off this year on top of everything else. One of those must have effects and wished someone was able to get the sequence and share it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Messer Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Noticed in LightUpPaxton video its maybe c9 and icicles lights. Are they on the LOR forum to provide any information? Ez- Do you have a closer video of yours? Sign blind as a bat Jeff.. LOL Edited June 27, 2015 by Jeff Messer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien407 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I don't remember seeing him on the LOR forum. You might reach out to him on his facebook page. You can link to it from his web site. http://www.lightinguppaxton.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks Alien407 and I have messaged them already. I noticed they will not be doing a show this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien407 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yeah, I saw that too. Sad in some way but it's true that this hobby can be all too consuming. Sometimes you need to just take a break and regroup. I'm hopeful he'll be back with new stuff. I haven't done much because I'm still working. Oh well, retirement isn't too far away............

kingfish Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 retirement for me wont happen till a week after they put me six feet down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Retirement? That's when I have plenty time to do this hobby. My show is almost 5 hours from my house so testing has to be done looking at the visualizer. Hope to get a few replies to emails and facebook post.

indi Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Alien407 +1, I will retire Oct.31. I hope to have more time to do this hobby. But, I have also heard that after a person retires, they have less time to do the things they want to. I guess I will find out. LOL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien407 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Indi, I can relate. I don't have a bucket list. I have a "honey do list." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Yep, I hate it when the Queen is off work. She sits in her chair and thinks of things for me to do. But I do have to remodel a bath room, and tile the floor in the man cave. But, being old, when I get tired, I'll stop for the day. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Sarge Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I am retired and can tell you... I work more now then before I retired... Most times have less time to do what I actually want to do.... Honey Do list is never ending, yard and gardening, outside work is never ending ( no need for a gardener any more)...The wife said that...LOL.. so I play on LOR between chores or when I can convince my boss (the wife) that its to windy and to much dust and sand blowing to work outside, to cold, to hot etc...lol.. I do spend some time hiding in my mas cave ( with my cable tv and lap top) working on the car, preventative Maint. or fixing the lawn mower that isn't broken.. Kinda reminds me of "The Man Song" on u tube by Rodney. I am the KING OF MY CASTLE... when the wife lets me be.. don't tell her I wrote this...

Darryl Lambert Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Watch at 2:00 for the bounce. It's pixels on the eaves & 2 rows of icicles just below. The first set of icicles is attached to the gutter & the second set is ziptied to the longest drops of the first set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 WOW that was a great Video of the roof jumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeERWNC Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Darryl - Is that two separate rows of icicles, a top and a bottom string to make it jump? Thanks for this idea Jeff. I knew I could count on you to find more ways to use my time. This might be a fun project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
