Thread: My 2010 Haunted Garage / Halloween Display

Tweet

This is my first attempt at a computer programmed Haunted Garage / Halloween Display.

I had 6 days to slam this together and it was a great learning experience. I love the Gilderfluke products!
I hope that I have the time in 2011 to greatly improve on what I learned. I hope you like the video.

The video overlay was taken at a different time and I had the fog chiller going in that video.
You will notice in the main video that the fog is just a regular fogger.


YouTube - 2010 Haunted Garage



Equipment & Props: Gilderfluke Mini Brick 8, Gilderfluke SD-25, 2 DMX Decoders, Minispotlight LED'S, Elation LC-8SP, Gilderfluke LC-8SP Adapter, 2 Chauvet Firebirds, American DJ FireBurst, Flying Crank Ghost w/ Blue LED eyes, Fog Chiller with Remote Hack to Relay, Handmade Toe Pincher Coffin, and Wood Pallets for fence.

2 Computer programmed shows that were activated by Wireless remote using a Holatron Firing Systems.com Item# 10000SS. This was my first year with the Gilderfluke products and I am looking forward to 2011.

Actors not shown: Grim Reaper that came out of the Toe Pincher Coffin and there was a Werewolf that came from backstage at the end of the second show and was lit by a center, overhead, green spotlight. I did not get footage of the Werewolf music or lighting.


Here is a photo of my Control Panel.




There is more photos of my setup in my photo album. I hope you like the photos.

Clap, clap and a standing ovation! That was fantastic.

So many awesome ideas in your video. Making the FCG a show in itself and the coffin too. Plus, brilliant idea putting the strobe light at the source of the fog.

Loved all of it!

Very good work! The FCG is very impressive!

Thank you Terra and MrNightmare. Your comments are greatly appreciated and mean a lot to me.

I'm not sure. I bought four of them off a DJ friend of mine last year. If you lived closer, I would sell you the other two. They were pretty dusty from sitting in his storage but I managed to clean up two of them for the display. I had them plugged into the LC-8SP and programmed onto the MiniBrick 8. I was happy how it turned out.

Yes! I believe it was only two frozen bottles of water. It worked great. Almost too good. I liked it when the fog raised up when not using the chiller. I should've had the fog chiller facing the other way going through the fence towards the audience. That would've looked cool crawling down the driveway as they walked up. Oh well, next time.
