I'd like to see more verticals, and perhaps more time taken to clean up some of the other elements for they do not look so disorderly. I'm not found of just tossing a matrix everywhere to add more pixels. You can do a lot by adding more variation to the elements you have and just cleaning things...
I have two of the GE baby Grand Illusions in my show. The only thing I wish was different about them is the hole opening in the middle of the prop. I keep trying to put images on them and there is this hole in the middle! :D I 3d printed the mounts from Inspire lights and have been using them...
Pay attention to the size of the HD props. You really need to understand how many of any particular size you can use and where you can place them. There are only so many places that I can hang a 48" prop so I only have two at this time, the ppd geowreath and the ge hattitude (which is brand...
I'm located in the Midwest of the United States, this matters for different timing.
Halloween is roughly from the 23rd until Nov 1st or 2nd. Thanksgiving is maybe the day before and the day after. Christmas will start after Thanksgiving.
I run many different schedules and playlists. It...
I'm renting storage space also at the moment. Total space is 10'x20' at a bit under $280 a month. The space is not very efficient at this time. I keep looking into the cost of building a shed int he backyard and could recoup the cost in a couple years if I was not renting anything.
I used some 2x2 clear pine as an internal support and then wrapped it with 1x4 pvc trim from Home Depot. I'll grab the sign from storage and then can post some pics of it. It's ugly and worked.
When I grab my tune to, I can run a full white test on a 2x2 matrix to give you a better...
Well, looks like my life is not complicated enough right now. Let's see how this goes.
I'd like to thank the academy and all the AI atoms for making this possible!
I would not use my show PI to run a matrix panel at the same time, it's a personal preference as I like to segment things off. At the moment I run a PI for each matrix that I use. For Christmas it is a single tune to sign. For Halloween I run 5 different matrix props. Tune to and then 4...
So, you will need something to drive the colorlight receiver. There are different options from sender cards or fpp instances, on your flavor of hardware. At what distance will it be viewed from, that might make a difference also. My P5 matrix Tune to was 2x2 from about 30 - 50 feet. I'm going to...
You should be able to search the xTreme Sequences youtube channel and find videos for the basics on mapping sequences. He has done some beginner videos on mapping. Also, maybe check out the Virtual Christmas Summit videos as I think they also have some intro mapping. Lastly, check Greg Macaree's...
