Jay Czerwinski Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 ...even more happy my wife really got in to it this year! Someone posted an example on Facebook and my wife took on buying a jig saw, 6 sheets of plywood, and black paint to create her design, and then asked me to light it. Here is half of it tonight on a test run.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Looks great! I'm jealous. Last time I looked at my silhouette I wasn't very pleased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy West Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 That looks great!My wife has helped me paint in the past but I just can't seem to get her into the total spirit. (pun intended)She is great at putting are candy / gift bags together and is a good sport at wearing a costume with me every Halloween night, so I really cannot complain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Czerwinski Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Wow looks great!, did you use RGB floods to uplight them? I used Cosmic Color Pixels on the back. What I can do in animations is AMAZING!! (Like having a chase dot trace the outlines of the shapes) Video to come soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmienLightFan Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Do you have any close up pictures of this? After seeing what effect my arches have, right up against the house, I think this will look really, really good on my house, and I don't currently have much low level stuff.

Jay Czerwinski Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I don't have any close up pics unfortunately. What I did was rather simple:1. Home Depot - 4x8 sheets of Radiant Barrier Oriented Strand Board - Cut to shape and the back is foil to help reflect the light against the house. Painted Black on front with a few 45 degree braces now and then.2. Home Depot - Foil Duct Tape - We just laid down the cosmic color pixels along the back and put a bit of the reflective duct tape over the wire on each side of the pixels. (Yes I know, 400 pixels x 2 pc of tape each = 800 pc of tape!!! And not only did it need to be all removed for storage - the tape we chose began to fall off in some places. - Next year I am looking to find a way to put clips or something on the back to just quickly snap the pixels in/out of place....) We used about 100 pixels to a sheet of plywood, making it fairly modular for moving segments - we live in a condo and utility companies needed to access those doors on the left. We disconnected/connected and moved the display in that area daily. Edit add - In the video, you can see reflections of the pixels in the windows behind the circle/cross element and by the owl on the right.
