Singing Pumpkin Lip-Sync

[plasmata]

As for the eyes - - I like them with the angled look - it looks a bit creepier that way

I had a feeling that was the reason you did it that way. Its all a matter of taste.

I too am surprised how quickly your putting this together. (Easy for me to say looking from the outside. Not so sure you think so. :D ) Unfortunately my free time has been pretty limited this year and I probably won't get a display up. At best I might borrow one of the posted sequences and have a limited display. At least I'll have another year to "accumulate" lights for next year's display.

Sorry everyone -- I got real busy last year after making the original post with work. Never had the time to come back and update this -- my bad. Here are some pictures of the pumpkin that I build using PVC frame, and plastic chicken wire. I also included a picture showing the lights strung up to the grid. I used black thread to tie the lights into the shape I was looking for.

If anyone is interested in the .vix file, I have a 24 channel (plus two beat channels) of MJ's Thriller (with Vincent at the end). The lip sync is two channels for the eyes (so he can blink), and six for the mouth.

This year I'm trying to finish Somebody's Watching Me. This new version of Vixen looks like it has the promise that I'll be able to integrate the lip sync software output into the sequencing...

I would be interested in the vix file. I have wondered about how to do a pumpkin this year and you answered my delima. Keep up the great work.

you would have to get with David Moore about the vix files as I think he doesn't want them distributed.

That is so cool! I would enjoy a smaller version of that.

I believe this was created from Scratch using the tools described in the original post. It doesn't anything to do with David.

I have a 12-channel one you all can use if you like. I use 7 channels for the face, 2 for side ghosts and the remaining three for JOLs.

Thriller - 12 channel.vix

Let me know what you think!
