IT'S ****ING NOVEMBER

[andyf]

Oh like you care, living outside of civilisation. Do they even celebrate Christmas 'in the valley' ?


Hey you can't have watched the clip. You posted 4 mins after me, and the clip is at least 3 mins long.

[Aardvark]

I am not Welsh.

[Elbonio]

i'll go and take a pic of a house near us


it's famous locally because the lights go on at the start of novmember and they're rather... extravagent


It's known as "that house with the lights"


Picture to follow

[Aardvark]

We call them '****ing chavs' round these parts :)

[TE-Hellfire]

[Panic]

Is that where Jean Michel Jarre lives...???

Hmm...

[Neon]

Didnt watch the clip but is this the guy in wales with the most lights on a house in europe?

He made BBC news, i watched in awe and wondered how his neighbours slept at night

[andyf]

Nope, it's a display by Carson Williams, of Ohio. (originally found on ... aard will get a kick from this ... planetchristmas.com)

[Aardvark]

I think Gamespy may sue ;)

The song isnt even christmassy

That really is impressive, alot of work has gone into the display. The funny thing here was ive been watching things from my PC on my TV, and when i opened the video it went fullscreen and couldn't be closed, sat there trying everything then realised i should turn the TV on, sure enough i could then close Winamp and get my desktop back *doh*

[Nivek]

great, i loved it

there are a couple of houses that you drive past on the way from manchester to my house that seem to compeat with each other over decorations

[wizard1974uk]

what's the backing track to that? Thought the display was good, but the track was even better.

[Mango]

that is ****ing mint

[Elbonio]

its nothing to do with chavs

If i had the money I'd buy light up snowmen that go on my roof and anamatronic santas

They're great

The Lost Christmas Eve - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

(apparently, but someone said the normal tune doesn't sound like the one in the vid)

I think it sounds exactly the same. Listened to a sample from amazon.co.uk:

Track 4 - Wizards In Winter

I just wanted to resurrect this thread and add a link showing how the people made it.

This is what they used to control all the lights...
Light-O-Rama : http://www.lightorama.com/

And this is how they went about combining the sound with the lights.
