Thread: Video of My Halloween Display

Tweet

My display is no where as nice and big and some of the ones here but thought I would post a video of my display. I mostly do Christmas but the last few years I have been getting bigger and bigger for Halloween.

This is a photo from last year but I really like it

OK, I think you underestimate yourself. I wish my yard looked half as good as yours!
Excellent animations, lighting and grave detailing!
Very nice setup!!

Wow! That's an awesome display. You have a great house/yard to work with and you di a fantastic job!

Incredible!!!! That is so awesome! I sure wish I was your neighbor Thanks for sharing the pics !

OK, how do you antimate the faces on the three singing pumpkins?? That is simply awesome. I agree with Dave, you sorely underestimate yourself. That is fabulous work. I'd like to see pics of your Christmas display if it's bigger and better, LOL!!

Thanks for the compliments everybody!

I wish I could take credit for the singing pumpkins and skill but they were created by somebody else and you can his video here

I contacted him and figure why reinvent the wheel? I was able to to get a DVD of his animation and then used a video projector to project it onto the pumpkins. People where blown away when they saw the singing pumpkins and many of them took out their cell phones and digital cameras to capture the moment. It was a huge hit and brought jaw dropping reactions which is hard to do these days. We had 600+ ToT this year. I have learned to buy a bunch of cheap candy so if if you run out of the good stuff you will have something to give out. Had to make a candy run to the store at 8pm because we were almost out!

I mostly got into the Holiday Decorating with Christmas and you can see my videos at

Holdman Christmas

I can use a lot of my animation equipment with Halloween so I started "going big" a few years ago and have really enjoyed it.

There has to be at least one "Crazy Person" that goes nuts with the Holidays so why not have it be me?

How did you get the special Hallowindow loop? I have Hallowindow one and two that I ran this year but yours looked different.
Can you give out the info as to where you bought the animated pumpkin and skull DVD's? Those were very cool.

That was amazing! what type of projector do you use?

Wow those animations and tunes were amazing, how does one get a copy??

I wish folks around here had such crazy set ups, I will have to take it up a notch after seeing all off the crazy affects people have used this year, especially yourself, great stuff man..

Whoa.. that was way cool! Very nice job!

Couple of questions for you.
1)What is the music the pumpkins are singing to??

2)What hardware and software do you use to orchestrate everything?

ALSO.. I watched your Christmas light displays.. they are INSANELY GOOD!!
