Even christmas lights need rock 'n roll.

Jean-Michel Jarre can't hold a candle to this festive lunacy.
"Face it, you're two nipples away from being human."
Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the shattered windows of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

Yeah, I've seen it, but thanks for reminding me. I'd meant to show my dad :)

interesting use of a microcontroller, but for shear wattage, I'm gonna post pictures of house near here - the guy had to upgrade his electric service to supply the christmas decorations... :shock: Something like 40,000 bulbs.

This seems like something that should be seen on the Vegas strip...

That's got to piss off some neighbors. Is there any link to the planning behind this?

I'm pretty sure it's just stop motion. That would be way easier, and make way more sense.

This was discussed over at the Whiteboard by fellows more knowledgeble in the black arts of electronics than I - and the conclusion they came to is that it's real, just filmed really badly, and doing it with a microcontroller would be relatively easy for somebody familiar with such devices.
