EmmienLightFan Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Are all your lights RGB? And why don't you learn to use the visualiser? It looks much better than that... thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i am all RGB minus the face. But its going RGB soon as well.24 Channels running 3 controllers for the house and ghosts.I am currently building out some arches but not sure how they will look wrapped in rgb strips. Will know soon enough i guess. I have don't much time right now to play around with the visualizer but it's on my list of things to do.But over all it looks pretty darn good.

You could do pixel arches, or several segments of dumb RGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is try several segments of dumb RGB and see how it looks.Next year i would like to start testing out pixels. It's a fun hobby but dang does it take a lot of time.

EmmienLightFan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It is a nice idea, this, but I prefer doing a mix.Someone might see it on some songs that they really like, then tell someone else, then that person may be disappointed not to have seen that song.What do you mean by kid's Halloween?

My Halloween Show was last minute and sequenced in a few days, in the SE, no SuperStar or XLights.100% RGB, 150 smart pixels and dumb RGB window frames and singing pumpkins. I only ran for Halloween with a mixture of songs and everyone liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianchristmas Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Looks good! Just one thought though have you thought of using more colours then just red and blue? I am not trying to bash your show I think it looks great, but I use and love RGB for all the wonderful colours that it can produce.

I am not trying to bash your show I think it looks great, but I use and love RGB for all the wonderful colours that it can produce. I started off with multi colors but people kept telling me to switch to one color because it's easier to change.So i wanted orange for Halloween but that was 2 colors... So i settled on red. It seems people enjoy making their own colors????? Who knew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more lights Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 That Maroon 5 "Animals" looks awesome....and familiar...LOL! Good job converting it! No Fastway? the Trick or Treat soundtrack???COME ON!!! Puppet Master is a cool creepy tune too. Just saying. you've done a lot of work there, can't wait to see it. Really looks good! I'm going to make my whole house into a monster talking face this year, I think I can pull it off pretty well.Happy Haunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmienLightFan Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I want to say, that if you want the lights and music to appeal to kids, include pop songs, not kids Halloween songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmith37064 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) I have a pop music day in there as well.Just not a whole day dedicated for it because i would have to search for 5-6 more pop sequences.And then spend days converting them. The wife is starting to look at me funny.... But on Halloween (31st) it's geared towards the kids.There are not many older kids in my area during Halloween. So i want it to be kid friendly and fun.

gsmith37064 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Take that back... it does seem that I have a whole day dedicated to pop.Not sure how i forgot all about that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
