Love it! It looks awesome! The faces are really cool!

Thanks all! We found out this morning that we won an encouragement award in the 4KQ Christmas Lights comp, so really happy! Re the spiral trees, they are really simple. I bought the cheapest rope light spiral trees from Deals direct and then stripped all the rope off (and re-purposed to my LOR...

Very cool!

So after a full day and a half uploading, I finally have the entire show uploaded to YouTube. Full channel is available at http://www.youtube.com/user/Olivevalexmaslights/videos?sort=dd&flow=list&view=0 Olivevale Christmas Lights 2012 - Christmas Mega Mix (Various Artists) Olivevale...

Looks awesome Bevo, well done!

Thanks Shell! When can we expect to see a video of your singing faces in action? Can't wait to show the kids those :)

Ah cheers for that. I've been making my own mixture using rainwater, isocol and space-time bubble bath and it works really well but I was worried about clogging. What about running CLR through it once a week/month?

Thanks very much! We are so pleased with the results and the kids absolutely love it (especially the snow machine!)

Kids gave me an early Christmas present - a shiny new GoPro camera! So to celebrate, I took some footage of one of the mega mixes in high definition. These cameras are AWESOME and do an excellent job of capturing Christmas lights - highly recommended :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5ZfD6YVrkg#ws

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, and sorry I was a bit late in replying! :) Had a great day and to top it off, the wet weather hasn't destroyed anything so far this year! Yay!

I have it on a TV in our 'Santa's Workshop' window. Not as effective as on a projector, but a neat effect all the same. You can see it on my display video in the 'Show-Off Arena' forum :) I did have to do some video editing in Premiere to change the source to widescreen and blow it up a bit so...

Wow! Very impressive!

Thanks very much! I was actually referring to the quality of the filming, our little camera has a hard time focusing properly when the blinky-flashy is going so the videos tend to be on the blurry side. Snow machines should arrive today as well, has anyone used them in their displays before?

I would be happy to post some pics and how-to's for those features. I'll try and get them done this week :)

Thanks Bevo. I hope your display is coming along nicely as well, can't wait to bring the family out to take a look!
