Check out this video. Some guy synchronized his Christmas lights to music. The poor quality of the video makes it seem like they're not quite in sync, but that's because of the compression. It's still fun to watch. I'm amazed it only took him 3 hours to program it.

I've seen that before. That guy certainly had too much time on his hands! And I'd HATE to be his neighbour!

That is amazing! It looks real don't you think? I agree Linda! The first thing that came out of my mouth was "I would hate living next to him"

That is awesome!! Wow! A little hard to believe, though, but I guess some people are really just wiz's at that stuff. Maybe. I can't really make up my mind as to whether I think it's real or not, but either way, that is very cool!

I've seen TSO before (the people who made that music) it was cool. It's classic Christmas music and rock music combined, and you'd think they would clash, but really it is great IMO.

Besides, even if somebody did just use stop-motion animation, they still had to be pretty talented to put even that together on the computer!
Thank you for posting that!

Me & DH just watched list. Simply amazing. TSO is playing here after Christmas-I'll have to see if I can still get tickets.
Thanks for sharing.

If you do go, tell me how you like it! Sorry, I know it was a bit off-topic, so I at least put it in size 1 font
It just reminded me of when we went to see them. It was amazing!


...I think I'm going to send a link to that video to some other people to see what they think of it.

DH and I saw that last week, he looked up the gadget that the guy used to do that. It seemed really simple provided to place the light strands well, but the box started at $600 or something insane, and that was before you purchased all the add-ons to make a really complicated show like that one!!!!

But that is pretty incredible!
