peppers-palace 12 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Welcome to PC!!! Love your video from last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toymakr000 1 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Nice job. Excellent job on the sequencing. It is very tedious work to get it right. Very well done. I know video messes up when shooting dark scenes is it actually brighter when in person if the lights are off? I was thinking you might want to put some low wattage floods to light it up a bit in between sequences. It's hard too see in the video so you may not have to in real life...

Thejones 10 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 yeah, it was just the video that was dark... but I should not have that issue this year... I used a total of 12 flood lights last year... this year I am using 40!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie Sansing 0 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Excellent! So creative and your sequencing is really well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thejones 10 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 have half the Stage up!! I will post Pics tomorrow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LightsonBeasley 0 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 WOWOW!!!! That is AWESOME!! I have never even thought of adding something like this to a Halloween Display, but it makes complete sense!! Why not have a Live Halloween Concert of Pumpkin/Spook People for the trick or treaters or visitors to see leading up to Halloween, Gives me some ideas for next year! Also your videography skills are very Rock Music Video esk! All of the cuts and camera movements really make it look like a Music Video. This is Awesome, now I just need a projector to play your music videos on this year Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thejones 10 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Thanks for the complements. I am itching to get home and get to work on it to finish! I hope to have the stage complete tonight... like I mentioned, I will post pictures as soon as I get home from work. it is coming together quit nice! I had several neighbors come over last night while I was putting up these 10ft light trusses, asking me what my theme will be this year. I have tons of people walk by and tell me they just wanted to show their kids how the display is progressing, but I know it is for them, lol... I just hope it will look as good as I imagine it!

gmac 32 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I think that was Fantastic......That setup ........How did you think of that? IMO that covers it all for Halloween YOu have Goblins, Music syncronized to lights.....You don't have to be concerned about scaring the kids....I'm tearing my setup down and copying yours if you don't mind. Again GREAT JOB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thejones 10 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 [ATTACH=CONFIG]37629[/ATTACH] i took this with my phone, not the greatest qual. Here is one of the back of the stage... this is unfinshed of course, but it will give you an idea to what I am trying to do.... i have completed the stage, I have more pictures I will upload later, I have built the giant spiderweb, and the Drummer is done. I will post more pics later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thejones 10 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 each light truss is 10 feet tall and has 18 channels on them... 10 floods, 7 orange, 1 purple Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thejones 10 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 update Please understand I have about 2-3 hours everynight to work on this. Monday - mowed the yard and set the back two light trusses for halloween, notice that my oak tree branches were in line site, so I trimmed them back. Tuesday - placed the front two light trusses hammered all the stakes for the band memebers, built a 10ft by 14ft spiderweb between the back two trusses. Wednesday - stuffed all the band memebers with hay, built the side wall supports for stage, assembled the singer, bass, and drummer. no heads yet Thursday - hung all strobes, glow in the dark spiderweb, put up all 40 flood lights, finshed all the band memebers, controler #1 is in the yard, nothing plugged into it yet. tested a few of the floods to see how bright it will shine on neighbors home across the street...ummmm... 20 white floods may have been over kill... but it looks sweet!! Friday - I hope to get all controlers in the yard and plugged in to run some test before lights on on Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
