Randy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have it running continuously in an upstairs bedroom window independent of the LOR music / show /sequencing. I do run the VS audio down to the driveway on separate speakers because he does speak and jungle his bells occasionally, and that gets a lot of attention from the kids.It was the single most commented on addition to the display last year...

gizmomkr Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Randy - is he software projected from PC, or just a DVD ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 http://www.belardolights.com/santa.htmlI'm running a DVD on "repeat disc" into a Viewsonic 2200 lumens projector onto a homemade rear projection screen...The image quality is very high, which adds to the illusion...

Dan Ancona Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I also run mine continuously. No audio though.. And like Randy, got a great response to it!I also use a CD player and simply use 'painters' plastic as a screen on the window. Daytime there is little notice the screen is there. Works great.

WhitePlainsNY Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is my first year using Virtual Santa. I created a musical sequence so the audio can be heard on the yard speakers and the radio. I have lighted frames around all ten windows and the sequence will have all those at 50% intensity and his window will have shimmer to draw attention to him. Because its a sequence, I can place him in the show where ever I want him. I'll be using a video projector and a white fabric shower curtian. That setup worked well during my Halloween show.
