Torqumada286 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Here is a picture and video of my setup. This is my first year with LOR and I have borrowed and adpated sequences from many places and people. Most of the vocal sequences came from Hoilidaycoro. Gangam style is mine, as is the Vincent Price portions from Thriller, vocals for Boogie Man, some of the Phantom vocal parts from Phantom of the Opera, Addams family vocals and the vocals to Nature Trail to Hell. I don't remember everyone I got everything from, but they have my most heartfelt gratitude for helping me through my first big project. I know I still have lots to learn.We have very broad front yards in our neighborhood, but narrow streets. It makes it hard to get everything in one shot, even with a 16:9 ratio. I would probably have to be standing on my neighbor's roof to get it done properly. This is the best I can do for video footage so far. My plans to get a better camera for filming were disrupted by other things going on. Maybe next weekend. Here is a panorama view of all the trees, pumpkin arch and skeleton lit up: [/media]Edit: I am also not sure if I am editing the footage right when I add the music in. If something looks off, please let me know so I can line things up. I only have Windows Movie Maker and it and my skills at video editing are rudimentary, at best.Torqumada Edited October 21, 2012 by Torqumada286 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddH Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Nice job bro, but yes the closer we get to the day the less comments seem to be made on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqumada286 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thank you everyone for the compliments.Video update. I have found an online service that rents video cameras of various types, from relatively simple home style cameras up to professional models. They charge by the day, but if you rent it over the weekend, you get it for the single day price. I didn't discover it in time for this weekend, so I have one ordered for next weekend and hope to have much better video online of the display.

Jerry Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Looks really good. I see nothing wrong with your video quality. You may want to invest in a good tripod for your camera though. Hope you can use the trees for Xmas, that had to have been a lot of work to wrap all of them.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes really good photos and great video during the day. I can't really use a tripod with that. The videos are darker than I want and can't capture the entire display in one shot. I hope to have something better, later. Yes, I use the same trees for Christmas, but they will be wrapped in different and more lights. Is there anyone out there that has a display that doesn't involve work? Torqumada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I really LIKE IT!!!!! The only thing you could try the next time you video the display would be earlier say around dusk that way you could get a little ambient light on your house trees and surrounding areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torqumada286 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 A version of The Doctor Who theme song. I don't know who did this version. It came with the sequence I adapted for my needs. Torqumada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqumada286 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 My pumpkin arch took a tumble early yesterday morning from the winds spun out by Sandy, even that far away from the storm. Nothing was really broken. I put a few more screws in it to secure it better and put it back up.When I got up at 6 this morning, I turned my show on. I made sure, though, not to have the speakers on. It's too early in the morning to have the music be that loud. I'm still transmitting, though. I took my son outside to wait on the bus and watched the lights blink in sequence with no sound and thought, "Oh, that's Thriller."

MtDew4me Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Nice work James! What kind of skeleton is that you have in the tree? It appears to glow nicely. Are you up-lighting it in anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqumada286 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Its' a GE LED skeleton. It's one of the first decorations I bought when we moved into this house 5 years ago. I've not been able to find another one, like it was a single season thing they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
