A Xmas Show

Actually this isn't a video edit job, it's a real Christmas light display set to music.

It's like someone said earlier in this thread, the stop-action appearance is because of the file compression.

For those who don't want to test every audio sample the song is called 'Wizards In Winter'

I wish they played this kind of music in the shops at christmas instead of those "timeless" wonders that drive you crazy

But, then again, with people spend $1000s on Halloween d�cor, it sure seems possible that someone would have taken the next step with their Christmas lights!

Other than the lights, the controller driving the sequence of the show would cost about 4 or 5 dollars for someone that has a microntroller programmer, or maybe 10 dollars to use a FPGA... Dunno how much the lights would cost, but I imagine they were purchased in bulk for a few hundred. Doubt the whole thing cost 1000s. The electricity bill will probably be a few hundred bucks though.
