Christmas House Lights

Post by -Legendary- »

Hey, I know this is pretty old, but for you that haven't seen this guy and his house,

That is as video of it.

Comments: The video is real. This amazing animated Christmas display, computer-synchronized to a rousing rendition of "Wizards in Winter" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, was constructed in 2004 by Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio using programmable light controllers and software made by Light-O-Rama of Garfield, New Jersey. The music was broadcast on FM radio so visitors could listen to it as they drove by the house in their cars.
The video itself, circulating since November 2005, has become an Internet favorite and turned Williams into a minor celebrity. He built a new display for the 2005 holiday season which had to be shut down well before Christmas, unfortunately, because it caused traffic congestion in the neighborhood.

2006 Update: Carson Williams' "Christmas in Lights" is back for 2006, this time installed in Mason, Ohio's Heritage Oaks Park. The new display consists of two full-size replicas of the facade of Williams' house, again decorated with tens of thousands of lights synchronized to music by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Williams has also designed Christmas displays for other cities, including Wheeler, West Virginia and Denver, Colorado. Full story...

New video: 2006 'Christmas in Lights' in Mason, OH by Carson Williams (via YouTube).

New video: 2006 'Symphony of Lights' in Denver, CO by Carson Williams and Parker 3D (via YouTube).
This guy does this stuff every year.

I just thought it was pretty neat.

What do you think about it?

TSO wins by itself, no fancy lights necessary.

I remember seeing this. I think it's pretty cool. It would suck living near him, trying to go to sleep but the constant flashing lights keep you up...

Oh, right. You probably don't have the ads for the Garmin GPS system. They're extremely annoying. Youtube it.
