| Christmas Lights Gone Wild |
 |
Wow, this thing has really gone crazy with
the viewers. Let me first start by saying
that this is not my house. Regardless of what
any of the comments read, this house really
does exist, I have seen it with my own eyes
and nothing you see in the video is trickery,
it's all real.
This display was the work of Carson Williams,
a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent
about three hours sequencing the 88
Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the
16,000 Christmas lights in his annual holiday
lighting spectacular (from Christmas 2004).
His 2005 display includes over 25,000 lights
that he spent nearly two months and $10,000
to hook up. So that the Williams' neighbors
aren't disturbed by constant noise, viewers
driving by the house are informed by signs to
tune in to a signal broadcast over a
low-power FM radio station to hear the
musical accompaniment.
The rough quality of the video has led some
viewers to believe it was put together in
stop-action form from still photographs, but
that is an artifact of the high compression
used in the clip circulated via e-mail. Mr.
Williams has posted instructions for
recreating his "Wizard in Winter" sequencing,
and another of his choreographed Christmas
light music shows can be viewed here.
Carson's Christmas display proved so popular
that it was featured in a Miller Lite beer
commercial in December 2005.
