JeffF Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 We had a couple inches of snow last night so I figured I'd take some pictures of the display. I'm hopeful to get a video or two done tonight since the snow really helps make the colors pop when recording... but who knows. http://www.mainelights.org/Christmas2010Daylight/Happy Holidays,Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only bummer is it's supposed to rain/icy rain all day tomorrow so it'll be back to grass soon.On the brighter side, our new songs(Santa's Elves, Hot Chocolate, Sandstorm, and Nutrocker) are a big hit. I feel bad saying my new favorite song of the year is Sandstorm since it's not a Christmas song but damn it rocks. Hopefully we'll have some videos this week...-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 We got about ten inches here and it's blowing pretty good out there right now. Surprisingly, we had quite a bit of traffic tonight - three vehicles in the street right now. Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffF Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Had to take pictures of the display tonight for the Christmas card so I decided to see how our Fujifilm camera did with video... heh... it came out pretty good except for only being 640x360. Wish my Canon video camera would capture the colors this well. Sandstormhttp://www.vimeo.com/17721900-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video makes everything look soo small since I had to go across the street to get everything in frame. Local people are amazed at how different the display looks *in person* as opposed to *on the computer*. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saul Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I know the feeling, every video I has shot or seen of mine, even in 1080 looks small and most of the detail is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffF Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Finally uploaded more videos. They were all taken with our FujiFilm still camera this year due to my laziness. It's just so easy to point, shoot, and edit with this camera I can't justify getting the "good" camera out.Santa's Elves:http://www.vimeo.com/18330023Music Box Dancer:http://www.vimeo.com/18330206Frosty the Snowman:http://www.vimeo.com/18329936Nutrocker:http://www.vimeo.com/17722988Sandstorm:http://www.vimeo.com/17721900Hot Chocolate:http://www.vimeo.com/17740942A quick little walk-through of our display I made for someone who was interested in what goes on behind the scenes for a display:-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Harman Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Fantastic job. I really enjoyed the daytime walk around your display. Thanks for the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffF Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thanks.I learned a walk-through is harder to do than it seems... I guess I should have thought about it a bit before I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
