Frank Farmer Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks, I dedicated a weekend to each song, just for these trees (I add something new to my display every year and this is it).Saturday I used Superstar to create the mophs that I needed and then Sunday exported it to the sequence editor to clean up, copy and paste, etc.I have two tracks for the trees. One is each tree as you see it when you create a CCB and an RGB version where I can work in one particual color at a time per tree. Between the two I can create a lot of different effects.Depending on the song lenght I spent between 20-30 hours per song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Very nice Frank. I'm doing nine trees in a row but only 50 bulbs per tree. How tall are your trees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Farmer Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 The Tree's are 6.5 feet tall. I went with two strings on each tree because I wanted to do some spiral effects. I have both strings starting at the bottom of the tree and twisting up together. I can bring just one string on at a time and it looks good, or both strings for double the effect. I have a couple of effects where the lights come on coming down one string while going up on the other string.I went with white trees so that it would reflect more of the light. During the day you can see the green wire a little bit, but I don't think it is going to bother anyone. The tree's are outside now and I should be able to shoot some video after Thanksgiving.
