I'm pretty sure it's either stop-cap motion or he took a picture of every possible light position and just chopped them together. I doubt he set up precision timers on every strand of lights to do that.

um, no. Its actually pretty easy to do that with a couple grand. hes using a protocol called dmx, used in stage lights and light shows. all he would have to do is hook each strand into a relay pack and plug in a music source.

is all he would really need.

No need to spend multiple kilodollars to get that. Walk (don't run!) to Fry's and get yourself some triacs (and I'd recommend some optoisolators, and you may need some small signal transistors to buffer things) and you can run 12 channels directly off your parallel port (and with a little work, get all sorts of dimming going as well, since that's host most light dimmers work anyway). With an addressing system, you could expand to however many channels you need.

Now, some may find it easier to drop the couple grand, but I personaly enjoy keeping my silly thingsl ike that under $100, especially after buying engineering textbooks...

With this topic name, I figured we'd be talking about The Critic, or perhaps a bit o' Wonder Showzen. Alas, I was mislead, very un-greatest show never.

Well, they definitely don't live in this state and I don't think anybody would be allowed to do this kind of stuff here!
