Stephen Blue 25 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thought it might be a nice idea to have a "Showing Off 2010" thread just for the Virginia forum... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Blue 25 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 http://www.deltavillelights.com/thisyear.htm Took some pretty good pictures in the snow last week, as well as video (but havn't had a chance to edit it yet). But, this year is around 73,000 lights, including nearly 2 dozen pole trees (14x 10's, a 20', a 15', a 12', an 8', 2x 6', and 2x 5'). The 20', 2x 10's, and 2x 5's are part of a 38,000 light, 196 channel LOR light show sync'd to a selection of Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, Barenaked Ladies, Frank Sinatra, and others. The show also includes a pair of 12-channel leaping arches, 8x 4-color mini trees, and chasing pole sections going up the 5 trees (think: arch effect but straight up the pole. Not something never before done, but it's new to my display). Some old features include the boat in a pond of lights, fed by a running river of lights; Frosty in his arch surrounded by other characters; new this year is the dog igloo with puppies stealing presents out of a sleigh. Also, LED's comprise approximately 4,000 lights this year, the first major implementation for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GS 0 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Always like your display Stephen. I hope we can get some VA posters and lurkers involved in this thread. Lots of displays in VA anchored by Bill V in NOVA, many great displays in Richmond, all our friends along the coast and the displays in the less traveled west side of the state. Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas. A completely new display for me this year, a lot of firsts that worked, a few things that didn't. Here are a few vids from this year: Angels Share http://www.vimeo.com/17702986 Angels Share (front view) http://www.vimeo.com/17706166 Holiday Magic http://www.vimeo.com/17703057 Where Are You Christmas http://www.vimeo.com/17703182 Looking forward to seeing everyone at the VA mini, hopefully our Fredericksburg bakery friends will post again with goodies (and pics of their wonderful display).

ernie18 10 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 was able to shoot video the other day with the snow, of course the wind did a number to the display so ladder was a no go...but still looks nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heystew 10 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 No new videos for this year yet, but you can see some pics and older videos at: http://www.rockyrunchristmas.com located in McLean, VA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GS 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Great to see another NOVA top 10 display* Is that a fog machine at the end of your show? Glenn * (according to Holly's Tacky Lights http://www.fairfaxchristmaslights.com/votes.php) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heystew 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Glenn, correct, it is a fog machine (you'd be amazed how many people have warned us that they think there is a fire...). It's used for the introduction to the show which uses several spot lights. you can see a quick video i shot here... sorry no sound though. we've had mixed luck with the fog.. basically depends on the wind. We knew it would be hit or miss and it's probably worked out a bit better than we expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ki4bbl 0 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Here's our 2011 display. Wow, I can't imagine outlining all of those windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Gorla 10 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Yeah, way to much work for that. We just hung lighted wreaths on each window, independently controlled by LOR this year. Will post pictures shortly! Edited December 23, 2012 by John Gorla Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Blue 25 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I don't have a video yet, just havn't had time. But here's a public FB album of pics from Deltaville: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.405311972880662.96533.149952898416572&type=1 83,000 lights this year. About 30% LED. 36,000 lights in the ~190 channel LOR show, the rest are static. Edited December 25, 2012 by Stephen Blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Anderson 25 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Another excellent display again this year Stephen. I especially like the boat in the pond. Edited December 26, 2012 by Andy Anderson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Gorla 10 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Here are a couple pictures from our show in 2012. We added lighted wreaths to the windows on the front of the house. It definitely added some cool animation effects having a neat grid ready to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
