Our background story...
Writing this because it always surprises me how similar everyones journey is.
MANY years ago I wanted to try and keep our teen-ish kids (5 of them) closer to home at Halloween. So we started doing walk thru haunted houses in our garage. Had a ton of fun and they were hugely popular, at least the police said so.
We made a move and the walk-thru approach wasnt' going to work. So we go into Light-O-Rama, which let you put your lights to music, make shows, and control them at the plug level. House came alive, we lived on a corner by an elementary school and it was a pretty good hit. We got into xLights, which was pixel level control...lot's more work, but more flexibility as well. Again, had a great time and very popular.
Putting up the xlights got a little old, 2nd story ladders, hanging off the roof, etc. Projection mapping was kind of becoming popular. Jumped into this, got into Adobe AE, AtmosFX, raspberry Pi and FPP (also used for xLights).
The key moment for me was when a middle aged man I didn't know was standing in front of our house eyes wide in wonder and leaned over to me and said "I've never seen anything like this before". If you are here you already are a little over the top with decorating. This kind of response makes it all worth while. It's a journey, but it's a lot of fun!
