Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I got 5 videos posted that shows you what I did with my LOR for HAlloween:http://www.lauderdalechristmas.com/halloween-2006.htmI'm still working on Ghostbusters right now, and Black Blade from Blue Oyster Cult is next. Might even do The Reaper from BOC as well.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Dale W wrote: What do you do with your LOR on Halloween?I was going to start out with a simple display - right now it's up to 32 channels! It's a good dry run to get everything checked out while your fingers are still not frostbitten (up here in the North country).Mike Attached files
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Basically, it will be a test for me. While I've hooked the LOR unit up to my PC, I've yet to actually plug any lights into it. We put our decorations out today. Probably tomorrow (Monday) I'll be putting the unit up outside for the first time and will light stuff to it.Currently, I'm without a way to broadcast music, but that should be fixed this week also. In the meantime, I'm designing a LOR Animation just to play around a little, and will probably do a few musical sequences to test the unit out some more. All my work has been centered around Christmas, but maybe this week I should actually practice with Halloween for a rehearsal practice!

It worked out really great. Halloween is a great time to test for Christmas.Tom
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Yep! As you saw on my 5 videos that linked to earlier in this thread, I am using 2 of my mini trees, made from LEDs. I bought small wire easels from JoAnn’s Fabrics, and wrapped them. Each mini tree has 300 white LEDs that I bought at Costco. So far the cost for each mini tree is up to $35, just because of the high priced LED strings.Yesterday I found a few of the blue LEDS at Sam’s Club. So I am now going to add another 300 Blue LEDs to each of my mini trees, so that they can be LOR switched to be either 300 white LEDs or 300 BLue LEDs, or fade between the 2. This will mean each of my 8 LED mini trees will be end up at a cost of $70. Ouch!

I was trying to figure out inserting audio into the video last night using Pinnacle Studio but ran out of time (first time at video editing). I'm planning to post everything this evening. I used blue LED lights (from Sam's) and they look totally awesome. I very bright, deep blue and they fade, flicker and twinkle nicely. I also plan to add white leds myself for the real set-up in November.Tom
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Yes, they are awesome, I'm going back for more blue ones today. Did you see their LED snow flakes? Was wondering if anyone tried thoes out yet.
