2012 Haunted House, Asylum 49, Chimney display

Here's the display I built for a haunted house, called Asylum 49 (http://asylum49.com), in Utah. The first "official" showing is tonight. Hoping all goes well.

I'm pretty proud of this and wanted to say "Thanks" to all those who put up with my questions and rants from months ago.

This is the "successful" results and turned out better than I expected. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to share the specs of the equipment used.

The picture looks awfully small in this post. It can also be viewed here:

The top of the chimney is approximately 45 feet up. The Roof-line is 17 feet up.

We actually installed this without using any power equipment. Used ropes, ladders and some pretty strong and brave (crazy?) folks.

I used 2 different cameras to try & get a decent video recording. One camera shows off the Laser image, while the other shows off the CCRs. I'm looking into getting a professional to record this for me, but until then, this is the best I got. I have made minor changes to some of lighting & laser sequences since I recorded them. I have not yet decided if I want to youtube these, so I'll just post the links to my website for now.

I can see a nice display going on here.

Maybe that chimney could be used as a mega tree structure during Christmas?

Good luck on your first showing.

Thanks for sharing the detailed info.

That was really awesome. Great talent and thought definitely went into that display. Loved it and the music picked was terrific too.

It was just pointed out to me, that the picture of the installed light show indicates the laser as being 750w (watts). It was supposed to be 750mWatts (milliWatts). And, when looking up the laser specs again, it looks like it's actually a 700mWatts laser. And, as a side note to the laser, It also requires a different ILDA/DMX interface. The one that comes built-in the laser is very limited and not suitable for use in this type of a "portable" laser display.
