Mega Arch Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 We all know George is dark this year. And as sad as that is - at least his Face lives on! A better quality video later as this was with just my iPhone. But I just had to get it up and share the video now though. If you want a copy of the sequence, you can purchase a copy here: http://www.clearwaterlights.org/. Enjoy..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Thanks guys! Almost makes me blush. Nice to see Daniel adding to and carrying on the house face tradition. And a fine face it is. Singing (faces, trees, etc) are so common these days they've become generic. Pixel trees, billboards, singing stuff - seems like almost everyone has some. But house faces? I only know of two in existence. Welcome to the cool side of the tracks Daniel. It's a lot less crowded over here. Merry Thanksgiving! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Arch Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Wife just text me that one of my nieces told her my house was posted by a volleyball friend of hers on SNAPCHAT. Whatever that is. Learning to be cool must be a slow process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you've stepped out of the dust of the thundering herd you'll hear lots of people use that word to describe your house face. 3 hours ago, Mega Arch said: Learning to be cool must be a slow process. The first thing you have to learn is that there's really not much to learn. All of a sudden one day you'll just realize you're there. Fear not - the face shall lead you to the promised land.

Santas Helper Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's awesome Daniel!!! What a great job on the whole display as well!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 If there is room in the club for two smurfs then my wife and I want to take the count to three. Don't have a big house to put the face on but what I can put together for next year is a 20ft galvanized pipe frame (I have the bases to keep that upright). From there the possibilities are endless!!

As we talked this weekend, about 90-95% done. Still have the front live trees to hang my big balls in. Have a few good sequences that wouldn’t load to my SD card. Will have to convert audio and run it through audacity a few times. Funny that they play great in SE, but won’t in the miniDirector. You’d think I could remember from last time.....

Bamm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear not - the face shall lead you to the promised land..... OK. Cool is good - but it creates much more work for me..... I didn't originally sequence the house face into every song I use - BIG MISTAKE! (And I now refer to the face as "George". You know, "George" is looking over my show...) Anyway, I thought it would build show anticipation for George to not appear in every song. Way too many people are asking if he quit working, they drive off &/or ask why they only saw him ____, blah, blah... Kinda like the lighters that want all static for a bit - cars drive off - they came to see the blinking... They can see George from the main street a block over. Then they drive into our neighborhood and by the time they get here - the show is now on a song that George is sleeping through. So does my audience - or they just leave.... So now I'm spending some time to go back and at least have George make an cameo appearance in each song. "George" has taken over my show for sure. AND I LIKE IT!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I distinctly remember mentioning to you that having a house face is both a blessing and a curse. You thought I was kidding or maybe over-exaggerating, didn't you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
