Hallow RichardH,

I happened to be checking out some old threads from last year and saw a video of your haunt. Nice job! I like all the light and sound effects. I wanted to ask, if I may...about the pumpkins that were singing. It look like you had some sort of a projector on them? If you would not mind sharing how you accomplished that, I would really appreciate it. I thought it was very clever and creative. If you are not so inclined to share that info. that's OK too. I will understand.

Many Thanks, H1

great looking video !!!! and great lighting! love the props!

Hey Richard,

Saw your christmas stuff. I've seen it before. Nice to have someone "famous" in our group here! . You're halloween display is top notch too!

Hope you don't mind fielding a few questions.

The pumpkin thing, gotta know how you did that lol. That was really kewl!

For Christmas, do you need permission to do that by the city... all those lights, etc.. and your neighbors? The video has the music really clear, so I am guessing you record the audio directly from the source? Do you have big loud speakers outside for that, or do you have to be pretty close to it to hear it? I am also guessing that you don't do that all the time, just at night for a couple hours so people can come watch?

Is that one of those Light-o-rama things? Or did you do a full blown DMX setup?

How do you get the lights to change colors from white, to blue, to green, to red, etc? Also, the one tree had tons of different colors swirling around, and you have that arc that has sections of lights that go on individually. I'd love to know how you do that.

Lastly, if you don't mind me asking... how much does this sort of display cost in terms of electricity. I am guessing a few grand a month, and for sure you need a couple 220 volt outlets? How do you get those "added" to the home?

How long does it take you to put the lights on.. and more so, how do you make sure they are so perfect like that. I hang lights around my outside and they never seem to be so straight!

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing 2009 christmas, and 2010 halloween!! Excellent job!
