ToddH Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Ok so I know alot of you knew I was kinda on the fence for this season being that all I jumped into for my 1st year for halloween (getting the kit a month an a half away from the 31st) to learn, create, buy lights, [Foul Language Used] off wife, buy more lights, set up, [Foul Language Used] off wife some more...make up for it with the sounds of tons of kids dancing in my yard in costumes anyway, thanks to LoriP here for helping me get motivated and gave me some really easy ideas. My main issue was that I was very very limited with the amount of lights I had so instead of linking the netlights on the bushes I set each set up for its own channel till I can complete some other stuff I am hopeing to get done by this or next weekend the latest just alot going on atm...Anyway don't want to bore you all, so here's the link for wizards in winter. 16 channels...and I have to say going from halloween having to sequence the face to sing and going to non face sequence songs seems to have made it alot easier or I am just starting to really get the hang of what I can do...there is SOOOO much more that can be done and how to fix it so I welcome suggestions and would love any an all feedback.http://youtu.be/WI1KrWn2Ul0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I like the way you used the strobes. Are you powering them on and off quickly to get that pattern effect, or are there multiple strobe channels? I never thought of using them like that - might be something I could try on my garage...

My wife is not fond of them as she thinks they should stay in the Halloween display and not this one, but I like it. Thanks for the complement George and Evan!
