6 houses - that video didn't show the one on the right next to the arch.  I have another shot of that song, but editing videos has fallen a ways down the priority list.  :(

That was good, nice how many total houses? I counted 5/6. Great work and all that was done with how many networks? And only 120channels very impressive!!!!!

I've seen a few instances where the audio is missing (and the site indicates that as being the case), but it's been pretty random.  I have not seen the video as being taken down altogether.  This entry, for example, still has the audio intact.]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:07:10 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=668&PID=5306#5306 Contest 2008 : Contest 2008 - Christmas on Misty Isle Court http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=670&PID=5305#5305 Author: deweycooter

Have they been pulling the entire video or just blocking the audio?]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2009 15:09:25 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=668&PID=5301#5301 Contest 2008 : 2008 Contest - TSO - Christmas Cannon http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=668&PID=5300#5300 Author: ChrisL1976

just a heads up, youtube has been pulling a lot of the TSO videos....you may want to also drop a copy on Vimeo as well.]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:26:38 +0000 http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=668&PID=5300#5300 Contest 2008 : 2008 Contest - TSO - Christmas Cannon http://www.aurorashow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=668&PID=5299#5299 Author: crichter

Sequence Authors: Howard & Colin Burke
Music Title: Feliz Navidad

This is our first year with Christmas lights, our previous and on-going project is a Halloween attraction. This was a last minute display, we started in early December, then went on a weeks vacation, so its been somewhat rushed! We have 3 other songs sequenced, but they are all based in some way on other peoples shared sequences, so not eligible for the contest. This song was 100% sequenced from scratch.

The windows are outlined in multi-color LED rope light, though on the video they just look white. In the center of each window is a Mickey Mouse wreath, hand constructed using candy-cane colored rope light on wire frames created using 3 wire wreath frames. Other features are 2 10' trees, 8 4' rope light trees, 40 candy canes, flood lights, strobe lights and some illuminated reindeer's. In the right hand picture window is a rear projected slideshow giving the radio frequency to tune into to listen to the music (transmitted using a Ramsey FM30B).

We hope you enjoy and thanks for creating this contest.
