There are some people who really go all out with their Christmas lights. I lived in Newmarket and a ton of people would sign up for that Noma challenge for the best house back when they had that.

The reflections off the lights on the windows illuminates the top part and the gutters... If it is a frame-by-frame photoshop, which I don't think it is, its a pretty darn good one, so either way this is one of the coolest video's I've seen in a while

I was thinking that it might be some kind of 'video editing' going on...that's pretty fast switching control, (unless its normal video sped up). And I'm wondering how they managed to hang the lights where there are 2 different colors on the same plane..unless tri-color LEDs were being used.

I showed this to my friend and he says that a setup like this isn't that difficult. The timing of the lights is all software driven.

I think there's two ways he could have done it. I don't know what exactly they're called but there's a lightswitch board you can hook up to a computer or laptop which controls lights. You can sometimes do it with a keyboard/synth to manually sync it up to music.

And the second way which is probably the way he did it -- film his lights in various sequences and edit the film together with FinalCut or Adobe Premiere to synch up with the music. Both ways are very time consuming though so in any case he deserves a pat on the back.
