skonopa Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Not quite Animusic, but a definite jaw-dropper! http://www.ffmcobalt.com/WizardsofWinter-SM.wmv That is was soo friggan AWESOME!! Yeah, definitly love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra track! ("Christmas Jam" (CORRECTION: It is "Wizards of Winter") from The Lost Christmas Eve album). I'd love to see how they did that. Most likely done via a PC using a sound wave analyzer to time the relays to the music. The guy probably wrote his own software to do that as well. I may have to seriously consider doing something like that myself! That also means I'd have to find a pair of industrial LaScalas to put out for the music as well! That had to of taken some serious time and thought to get that setup correctly! I'll have to show that one to my father - he'd get a kick out of that!

colterphoto1 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 in the 'olden' days, my dad would take photos of Christmas cards on slide film, load the slides in backwards, then hang a bedsheet in the picture window and do a early 'rear projection' of the holiday greetings for all the passerby on busy 62nd street near the Glendale Mall. Thanks for taking me back there, I'd forgotten about that. Dad was a nut! Mom was always 'Richard, you're going to cause an accident one day!".

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted November 20, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2005 It looks like it was done with time lapse, that is, they cut an pasted the video to fit the music. When you look at the vegitation at the bottom of the screen it appears to move around rapidly like when they do time lapse. But it is COOL just the same.

When you look at the vegitation at the bottom of the screen it appears to move around rapidly like when they do time lapse. But it is COOL just the same. Travis WRONG, WRONG and MORE WRONG!!!! Look at the left side of the house, and notice that tower in the distance with the white blinking "airplane light". It blinks constantly, at about a second interval, through-out the video. If somebody was screwing around with the video footage with a digital video editing program, they would definitly messed up that blinking light in the background. I highly doubt anybody is that good with such a program to prevent that from messing up. That video is indeed legit. The seemingly jumping around vegetation at the bottom is just simply an artifact of the compression (which that guy had to compress quite a bit to make it managable for upload - would love to see a the full resolution video, or better yet, see the actual display - wonder if he is doing it again this year. Damn shame he doesn't say where he is at in the PlanetChristmas forum) And for farther proof, I found this thread on ChristmasPlanet.com where the guy (one Mr. Carson Williams) that did the display started. According to him, it consists of some 16,000 lights and uses 88 Light-O-Rama (LOR) channels. He did it for last years (2004) Christmas. It seems Light-O-Rama is some outfit that makes programmable controllers and associated software. This is all done to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Wizards of Winter" track, form thier The Lost Christmas Eve album. Anybody with a little patience and technical know-how can pull this off. I am certainly impressed, and has me inspired to want to try something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicskiier01 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Gotta love TSO. I've seen them in concert 3 times and they get better every year. Their light/fireworks/explosions/flames are amazing. I've heard their show be compared to Kiss. Real talent in this band. texxas guy, If you are going to get a TSO album, I would go for "Christmas Eve and Other Stories"......by far their best work....
