well the preview is just a bunch of pixels, not too impressive, but i'll share anyway, i think a video would be much cooler... but i don't have one yet.

I think the music isn't included here, but it is AWESOME:
Oscar Brand And His Young Friends\Trick or Treat_ Hallowe'en Celebrated in Story & Song (Caedmon, TC1624, 1979)

I struggled with it being too scary. My kids are 2 and 4, and i wanted something kid friendly... so my show is a little scary for about 20 seconds (thunder - strobe light - a bit dark - werewolf howls) then it turns into this really cute trick-or-treat song... just a 90 second loop.
I will also have a smoke machine running on a timer, on for maybe 20 seconds, off for 60 seconds, something like that.

I downloaded the mp3 for free: http://scarstuff.blogspot.com/2006/10/oscar-brand-and-his-young-friends.html

click on the picture of the record, and download the zip, it is track #1 mp3 you are looking for.


Feedback encouraged, I've never sequenced anything before. I'm embarrassed to report that this 90 second piece took at least 8 hours of sequencing.

EDIT
The sequence is in VIXEN 1.1.11

Huh? Only 8 hours? ...and you're embarassed? 30 seconds takes me about 20 hours... Ya wanna share your secret so I have some free time for hardware. :lol:

I'm downloading the audio right now, Thanks for sharing.

I have a 4.5 min song that I am detailing the heck out of and I think I probably have 100 hours into it. I think it will be worth it though...

My first song, wizards took me 2 mths of late nights after the kids were a sleep. I've gotten pretty good, down to about a week for 1 3.5--4 min song. I'm only running 64 channels though.

Glad i'm not alone :)

Is it just me, or is the hardest part the chasing sequences?
Those always look fine on the preview, but when you look at the lights, they are too fast/too slow, etc....
