Haunted House in a
Box for 2008, but Hurry!
The Haunted House
In A Box is the ideal way to take a boring Halloween display
and give it plenty of action. Most people don't realize
this is really our
Christmas In A Box with a
Halloween personality.
Have the scary music for the kids at the end of
October and use the same hardware to delight the community in
December.
Ready for your own Haunted House
in a Box? Halloween is just a few weeks away.
Find out more information about the
Haunted House In A Box at the Animated Lighting website. |

Maestro Version 2
The next generation of
Maestro,
our show sequencing software, is now in final testing and it's
looking good!. This is
the version allowing you to compile shows and download them to
our
Monster Brain for standalone operation. Don't worry
though. Shows you're working on now with the current Maestro
will work fine on Maestro 2.
We realize some are wondering if your Animation
Director based shows should be moved over to Maestro this
season. It depends. Many of you have crafted
elaborate sequences over the years so it makes sense not to rock
the boat and continue using what you have.
Those crafty dudes in engineering
are already talking how they want Maestro 3 to have a conversion
utility to handle Animation Director shows but admit there's not
enough time this year to get it in the product. That's a
subtle way of saying Maestro 3 is a post Christmas 2008 product. |

Megashows for 2008,
but again, Hurry!
You've seen the
houses where the lights dance to the music. You know you can buy
off-the-shelf,
pre-sequenced show tunes directly from Animated Lighting but
you want more so you can really impress your viewers. We hear you loud and
clear.
Animated Lighting hears from thousands of
it's users every year. Many send us their videos and we're really
impressed what they can do with our technology. Then there are some that
send us videos and we stop dead in our tracks. These aren't shows but
carefully choreographed masterpieces that are incredibly creative by
lighting professionals.
What do you get
with a Megashow?
-
The show
designers work with you translating
their vision to your venue.
-
A generic
spreadsheet with a layout of the lighting channels for the chosen megashow.
-
You provide
us with a picture of your home or business and the show designer creates a
specific layout adapting their show to your environment showing their
various lighting channels and how it should be plugged into their various
controllers.
-
An
Animated Lighting tech will come to your home or business for one day to
help you hook up the controllers to the lights as outlined by the show
designer.
What's not included in a
megashow package? You need to already have Animated Lighting
light
controllers and a
Monster Brain to control everything. You also have
to put up the lights, run the wires to the controllers and make sure you
have adequate power to drive the lights.
What makes these light
designers so special? They are professionals in their field and have
been long time Animated Lighting users. They understand the product well,
know the nuances and have had years to tweak their shows until they are true
works of art.
