eschlomach Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Sequencing LOR is hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It's been posted here before. They are in the final four this coming Tuesday. Their other displays are cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrymac Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It is done with EL Wire (Electroluminescent Wire) . Low voltage (1 1/2 volt to 9 volt). Only issue is that it is not very bright. Works great in dark and near dark. Completly pliable it is like a plastic noodle. It has two wires (one coated) and one bare (very very small) encased in a sylicone like plastic. You can cut to any length and available up to about 300 feet. Has a soft neon glow. I tried some for my display (lighted gutiar strings for a halloween setup but switched to a more rigid brighter neon type source). This is great fun stuff and very inexpensive. check out www.thatscoolwire.com (one of many) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 EL Wire is the simple stuff. But the real question is what kinds of controllers and how is it all interfaced? Are they using some kind of blue tooth for communication? What is on each person, controller wise? What software is she using to sequence? I would be interesting to find out what she cobbled together to make this work for them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulanator Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 When I was watching the first show, she is using a MAC, and never gave any details on the communications to the dancers.I hope they win, they are very talented and the ideas for each performance are clever.I have experimented with EL wire, have some for my train layout. Works great on smaller stuff, but I agree, not super bright. Very cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well looks like google is my friend up to a point. There is a web site for i Luminate. But no real info to speak of. And they do not sell any of the equipment as of yet, just rentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbp Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'm pretty sure that I remember hearing that she has poured her life savings into this endeavor, so I doubt that she is going to be spilling the beans on the tech aspect of it.What the real shame is that they came in 3rd place. THAT is a shame. They were the only original, unique and creative act left on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yea, they were my choice to win.I thought I read somewhere she is a software engineer, and a dance enthusiast...interesting combination. Actually her web site bio mentions, now that I went and looked.Interesting there is an iluminate web site for the hardware system, http://www.iluminate.com, and one for the dance troup.. http://www.teamiluminate.com the system looks pretty robust.

Max-Paul Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi Don,well I tried your links but neither of them worked, or the server is temp down. I agree with everyone else. This group should have won or only 2nd to the singer doing old blue eyes songs. You have to admit he was doing a great job singing Frank's songs.

R Weiland Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The inverter to drive the EL wire might be low voltage but to illuminate EL wire it takes about 200 Volts AC and the frequency is around 1200-2400Hz. A bit higher than our house-hold 60Hz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Links aren't working for me neither. Team Iluminate was my first choice too. The silouettes group was my second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
