My good friend, Peter Montgomery, has put up videos from his 2008 display: www.socalhalloween.com

I was part of the construction crew and help with a bit of EFX-TEKnology as well
-- faux flames in the cab is a custom-programmed FC-4
-- pulsating smoke stack is a Prop-1 running an LED brake light replacement bulb
-- flickering headlight uses a Prop-1 running an actual car headlight
    * I had to add an external TIP120 driver to handle the current needed by the headlight

Our friend John (a Hollywood FX wizard) setup a time-lapse camera so you can see a short video that shows construction, Hallween night, and tear down -- amazing that you can see four weeks of life in about a minute.

Check it out!

JonnyMac,

Will Peter have some new videos to share soon?  I always look forward to seeing his display videos/pics each year.

Cheers,

Peter took a break this year, much to the dismay of his many fans.
