This Christmas display is jaw-dropping awesome, although I would have to kill the guy if he were my neighbor!

So do you think this is real or photoshopped? I'm almost sure it's still-action manipulation.

Awful !! Don't think it is a montage though, unfortunately I think it is real, and agree with you, poor people those who happen to be his/her neighbour.

It won't let me in, maybe too many lookers. Here's the message I got:

GO AWAY ENGADGET!!

You wrecked my bandwidth... that vid wasn't even mine! ;-)

The song from the vid was Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

While you're here, visit here:TRENDWHORE

I've been called worse

raniday...

Take a look at the last line on that page... the link is there. I thought the same thing at first, too.

Actually, here's the vid (right click, save as) on my University Webspace which I can only assume is unlimited :-D

I had had the same problem but the video worked from Racc Iria's link (without saving ! )
But what fun the video is and set to the music great, it must of took ages to make,I dont think photoshopped but animated some how, but i do agree i wouldn't like to live by the house when all the lights are on ! ! ! ! ! This christmas lighting has only really took of here over the last 4/5 years, and houses done to extreme are rare and get a visit ( with the grandkids of course )

Thanks, guys. I'm glad I didn't miss it. It's extreme and tacky, and I love it You have to admire the ingenuity and energy it took to set that up. No, I wouldn't do it to my house, but if it were somewhere nearby, I would drive to see it............unless they were my neighbors, and then I would fuss.

Now I have had neighbors that I would have been more than glad to rig up my house that way, have it play from say dark to 10 or 11, every night between T-day and xmas

To try a similar effect, I could maybe generate key frames with Phototoshop. What software do you recommend to generate between frames and to synchronize with music?

I use ProShow Producer extensively for doing videos similar to this one. The less expensive "Gold" version is capable of this too. It can be found here:

Racc omg thank you!!! thats the funniest thing i have seen other than this...

Funny vid

My friend sent me this via email its a man caught in the act!

Is that real then, he must have too much time on his hands, send him a job!

[Kraellin]

"Are you a dancer?" "No, I'm just drunk!"

lol, legacy

as for the x-mas lights, that could be real. it could be something similar to how you do light and music presentations on a stage. but, whatever it is, it's cute

and kschulz, thanks for the link to that software!

I echo that thanks, Kurt - I may try the software, and just viewing the demo by Randy Harris is worth the visit! If you enjoy a close-up view of grizzly bears, catching salmon, cubs playing, etc. plus some award-winning photography (all shots are wonderful, some are truly Art), click on the link to his video -- (you have to agree to download a viewer program from Photodex)

The Christmas lights video may not be real, but it is fun, and I love those "dancing" trees. The music/light synchronization is right on! PanPan - thanks for that link!

[Legacy~Art]

That was beautiful that thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks to one of my daughters,

And there is another one there too!!!!

[kschulz]

OMG, that says this house with the lights is in Mason, Ohio. That's about 4 miles north of my house! I'll check it out and report back on whether its real or photoshopped.
