SPaschall Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 This is a job we (Holiday Technologies) did last season for TSO on the Hallmark Channels Home and Family Christmas special using LOR hardware, software, and CCB's. The house, landscaping. floods and perimeter was all programmed using the Pixel Editor. Special thanks to Matt Brown for all of his input on this job.Enjoy SPaschall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robigd Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Amazing. That house looks like it was built for Christmas lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Very cool! I liked the integration of fast moving stuff along with slow moving effects in the background. Can you tell us more about the display. Obviously almost everything was RGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcha Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The wreaths are especially cool! The ability to make movement on static objects is always a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the kind words. I can try to explain it as well as I can, I was not on site for this job but I did the programming along with another programmer. The actual job was accepted by Jon Vroylks and Jeff Maxie, They had a video a few years back with sixteen houses synced to WIW shot with a drown that went viral. TSO contacted them and asked them to do the house for the Hallmark Channel. Since it was only two weeks away from the taping they needed some help and contacted Drew Hickman at Holiday Technologies to assist in the layout and programming. We ran 32-33 100ct CCB's 20 rgb floods, 3 blinder spots, I can't tell you how many strands of LED's for the landscaping and the two massive spiral trees in the front. I did the programming for the house, perimeter, landscaping and the RGB floods with the Pixel Editor,which at the time had barely been released. We had 8 days to get the programming and mapping completed before the shooting of the video. Hopefully Drew Hickman and I will be doing a 1hr. discussion on this house at Expo this year that will go in depth of the whole 2 wk. process from start to finish. Here is the other song we did, sorry about the credits and it does cut off before the last notes SPaschall Edited March 7, 2016 by SPaschall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Very nice....Many moons ago I suggested there be a song or instrumental that we all do as if it were an Olympic sport compulsory for our hobby and TSO Wizard's was one of them. In sharp contrast to this display, I used 90% incan mini's. After a short intro I also get into Wizards....check it out and compare. I have it in my show every year and see no reason to exclude it....until the next Wizard's like instrumental comes along.

Archer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm unfamiliar with the Williams display. Is there a link to view it available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaschall Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Really? his was the first display to really go viral and it was the house that started everyone doing Wizards in Winter. this video is probably the main reason synchronized displays became mainstream.

Archer Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I remember seeing that display but I got into it because I saw Richard Holdman's display......it really hit the spot with me.

SPaschall If I remember correctly his house was on a Miller lite commercial on tv as well. I love holdmans house but Carson was the guy who got the whole thing going. I remember people thought it was a bunch of still photos edited together when it first came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yes it was Amazing Grace that got me too. I didn't mean that Wizards was the song but rather Holdman's was the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His display went viral several years later. SPaschall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Interesting that the hobby has matured and endured long enough to create a generation gap. Until today, I didn't know Richard Holdman had even done WIW. I thought Amazing Grace was his only song. I, too, was inspired totally by Carson Williams. I bet the first night I saw that one I watched it a dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat George, after watching Carsons I started looking for more displays and was inspired by Marty Slack, Tim Fischer and Mike Ziemkowski. Some of the newer members have don't have a clue to who started the upswing of this hobby and helped define what it is today. SPaschall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
