This thread is getting off topic, but I will say that when I see a display with video, I wonder why I am sitting in my car watching TV when I came to see the dancing lights. Just my 2 cents.
I agree this is off topic but had to get my 2 cents in.
Video has been a major part of our show for many years. We produced our show for the children and they absolutely love the video. They can get very close to the screen and dance in the driveway along with the videos while their parents watch and take videos and pictures that they will remember hopefully all of their lives.
We are in process of making our show more interactive for the children rather than going the VEGAS route with all the RGB wow that many are moving towards.
Our most popular elements are these extra, non lighting features. Video, Snow machines, a riding train, a non riding train and Virtual Santa, with many others in the wporks. These are the elements that the kids love and it is the kids that keep us putting on a show each year, not the adults that drive by and spend 30 seconds watching the lights and listening to the music in the car.
We are in process of moving our show in the direction of the Macy's window concept with multiple stations of different Christmas themes and away from all the glitz of the Vegas style shows.
Please don't get me wrong, there are some fantastic RGB shows that have been and will be produced using the new hardware but we will stay with the more traditional Christmas music and show for our visitors.
Just the 2 cents from an old man........
Happy New Year to all
Mike
