Are you referring to the swinging section or just the straight section? I only ask because I make tons of Christmas light strands to project for different scenes. That little animated section is a simple loop of the full string I made in photoshop and AE. I can see about posting the file somewhere if it's a png or video. I'll dig it up.

@@HouseProjections I was referring to both the swinging and individual strands. I haven’t found any online that look nearly as good as the one you have. If you can dig it up that would be awesome! Again I really like your content and thanks for the reply

@@natev9022 Thanks, I'm glad you like them. The lights were created in photoshop, as well as the glow effect. The animation was then done in After effects. Here is a link to the animated singing: czcams.com/video/kbnqW_RHhYc/video.html

@@HouseProjections was the light wall downloaded from shuttershock?

I made the video myself.

Hello! I made the artwork myself in Photoshop using screenshots and other images.

Thank you! I did a few different masks for the wall. One was an outline of my siding, another was a series of masks for each individual piece of siding, and a third was a combo with areas removed in photoshop. I then applied lightning effects to the different masks and used keyframes to animate them.

@HouseProjections wow, that must have been time-intensive! Loved the effect though!!

Thank you very much! I appreciate it. Just take your time and have fun. There's a learning curve so don't get stressed out. 99% of what I know, I learned from screwing it up first. Good luck!

Thank you! I make the backdrops in photoshop from anything and everything. I use screengrabs, rotoscoping, personal photos, 3D models, etc. I collect images throughout the year as I come across them or create them. Right now I have three 2 TB hard drives filled with graphics, elements, and segments I've made. It becomes a bit of an obsession! I actually added more this year included some additional rotoscoped animation of Jack and some background elements. I'll wasn't going to upload the video because it wasn't 100% original, but I might this weekend.

@@HouseProjections wow love it! If you ever thought of selling content or making shows I would be all over it

Thank you Steve! You're always so kind. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

Thank you! I took everything from the Blu ray, there's a special edition "4D" version that was created for an amusement ride. It doesn't matter where to footage comes from, the process is the same. I do a lot of rotoscoping to take the elements out and make blank blank backgrounds in photoshop. Then I can resize and recompose everything to fit the house. For example the scene with Bumble chasing Rudolph and Hermey has about 11 different rotoscoped elements individually looped, timed, and matched. Plus a custom background and sky from photoshop to match the original scene.

Hi there! That's what I primarily use right now is Photoshop and After Effects. I'm still not 100% comfortable with AE, but I can get by, barely. I've dabbled a bit in Blender and plan on learning more with that, but that's about it really!

Thank you! I was pressed for time this year, so I had to ditch my original plans for the door. Thank goodness for AtmosFX and my ever growing collection of their files! The pumpkins are from indeed from The SingingPumpkin. I switched to an Optoma 1090HDR this year. To tell you how bright it is, I put up a few shows from last year to test it out, and they were unusable. The brightness was completely washed out. Those shows had the brightness and colors set for my old Optoma projector, and I had to boost a lot of settings to make everything visible. With the new 1090HDR some scenes looked almost completely white. There was no way to use them. I went back to the original AE project, removed and color adjustment settings and retendered them, and they looked better than the original. I'm not a tech expert, but I'm definitely happy with it.

Thank you! I have not created shows for anybody but myself yet, but I've been debating on it. At the very least I plan on sharing some of the elements I make in case others find them useful.

Thank you!

Hello! Thank you! I'm not selling at the moment. I plan on posting some of the elements I make for free soon. I may sell shows next year if I can get setup for it in time. Too much going on this year to get it going!

@@HouseProjections thanks for replying

​@@plastikblerd Anytime!

Nice! Than you and Happy Halloween!

Thank you! Happy Halloween!

Thank you very much! That's always high praise coming from you. I hope you're doing well!

Thank you very much!

I hope it works for you!

I haven't yet, but I have tossed around the idea.
