A couple videos of my show in action

[kane]

Thought I'd put together a couple videos.. I know I've gone the old boring TSO songs, but figured I was allowed to on my first year!

Need to try with a different video camera to try and capture things better - when the stars are lit up multi-coloured (or spinning), you can't really see them... But they look great in person!

Great work Kane.
Nice and clean. I love the spiral you set up on the tree

 

[fasteddy]

Another great effort Kane, im sure your more than happy with how its turned out, you should be very proud of the work you have done to make this a reality.

 

[random]

top effort, very well thought out. I can see the intent in the spinning star effect, would look awesome in real life

 

[Bevo]

Thats awesome, great effort. I like the way you have used your display area.

 

[Bird]

Awesome display indeed. My 2nd year doesn't look near as good as yours. Very nice.

Love your work Kane, I'm a massive fan of your tree and stars.
If you figure out how to capture video to do the display justice at night be sure to share.
Super way to light up a good two story canvas too

Channel 9 news here in Perth sent a cameraman over to film our lights earlier in the week, and it was on last night. It was in three chunks before each of the ad breaks, so there's a bit of repeat footage, but quite surprised how much airtime it got

Gday Kane,


Great show ! i only hope my first year of computer lights (2012) will look half as good!


How many strands of pixels are on the mega tree if you don't mind me asking? Love the effect !

Hey Westy

I've got a bit of info on my mega tree on this thread - http://auschristmaslighting.com/forums/index.php/topic,1496.0.html - but I have 64 strings that are 10metres long each, which are doubled over (so 5metres up, 5 metres back). There at 16 each of red, blue, green and white. These are hooked up to 3 ray wu 27 channel controllers (which reminds me that I have spare channels there to use, so should probably look at adding another colour next year!)

I also have 4 strings of tm1804 pixels (each string is 100 long) which are fed from an e680 mounted at the top of the tree (and come down in a spiral effect). Interestingly, I've been able to get away without injecting power at the bottom, which makes things easier

Any other queries, let us know - can't wait to see what everyone gets up to in 2012!

Looks good.
Decent looking CCTV dome too - looks like it's big enough for a recessed full-body camera inside?

 

[Benslights]

Job well done love the spiral effect in the Mega tree nice touch.

Yeah, the dome actually came with a PTZ camera that I had in there to start off with, but it had a few issues, so I pulled it out, and stuck in a much better quality fixed camera. (and yes, full size - plenty of room in there.)
