chuckd Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm always late getting this stuff out on the website, but here's three of the songs from this years show. I can't get it all in one shot since the display is too long, thus the multi-camera angles. Enjoy!http://www.downsfamilychristmas.com/videos%202009.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkcubsrule Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Wow, Chuck! They are simply amazing. You must've been sequencing for days on end. The end result is just beautiful. My favorite part is the matrix and the MEGA tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimswinder Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sequencing is FANTASTIC!!!!I like that your display is not overpowering with a gagillion lights.In this case less is more...more FANTASMIC.Love the "Cartwheeling Trees" and the ability to spell out words and make shapes.Have wanted to somehow make a "large screen TV" out of lights to put on the roof...

chuckd Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 OK wait, Super Duper Wowie Zowie? That's just too much..... Thanks, though. I wish the videos were better, but I haven't figured out how to shoot it much better yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Good Grief!Now that's a fine display! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckd Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 My Canon HF10 has a 'Fireworks' setting. For me, it's the best I can do. All the manual aperture/shutter settings with exposure compensation don't match what the Fireworks setting does in my display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
