Does anyone have feedback/experience to share on how they find their crowds develop thru December?
Is the attendance from early Dec to near Christmas an exponential climb? ie: handfuls now and chaos near Christmas? Or do you have steady crowds etc. etc?
I know for my own family we aren't...
While my display is big in scale, this year being our first it's all architectural straight lines.
I've got things grouped into areas across the building, have grouped verticals and horizontals... but I'm struggling to find good effects that translate across a wide spread of only straight lines...

I was sat out in our building carpark with my laptop over...
So last night we had our first test along with music.
Our main issue is the LEDs are lighting up in the wrong spots. It’s the right number of LEDs, the right colours, they respond to the right sequence, effects and timing, but they’re appearing in the wrong spots on the building, and not enough...
