well, here news tend to be slow and carried by sled dogs and reindeers
and what you think is old for us is new. Did you know that when I was
a wee nipper we didn't have coffee here and I thought it was rare
all over the world and when I traveled abroad and sipped some coffee I
was like OMG YOU MUST HAVE PAID IT A FORTUNE and everybody laughed.
"Anyway my display features about 16000 lights. 88 LOR
channels. The MEGA tree has 4800 lights, the triangle in the
middle has 22 trees of 300 each (6300 lights)"
"I used blue icicles strung on a PVC and rebar fence (The
fence is Marilyn's design, If I remember correctly).
I am planning to add white icicles to the fence for the 2 color
effect."
"It is 21 trees wrapped in 300 multi lights (Chuck's
design)in a triangle with a single white tree at the top for a
xmas tree effect , My wife's idea. It worked out very
well."
">>is that a peace sign in your yard?
Yes it is,
In 1996, I did my very first light show which included a 10'
earth topped with the a 4' peace sign. (Peace on Earth)
I made both items from 3/8" aluminum rod and Colonnade
lights clips.

When we moved to our new house in 2002, I found the peace sign
buried under several sheets of plywood. I plugged it in and it
worked!. I now have to add the sign to my display every
year."
">>how did you digitize it?
I used a ATI All-in-wonder card to input into to Windows Movie
Maker, then when I re-encoded the video for upload, I removed the
original sound, an added the original music back to the
tape."
