ok, there was also a part two to that, also. i have the video on a spare hard drive somewhere. It was over a year ago, so who knows where it is.

And in the end, the guy ended up taking it down, because of an auto accident that happened on his street. It was an agreement he made with the town authorities well in advance,.. well, ever since the cars were backed up for blocks every day.

but it was no big loss, as he sold the commercial to a well known beer company.

Everyone needs to calm down about the reposting. Until the search function actually works, there's no way around it, unless you have been here for years. Is it really that bad? Have seen it before, don't post anything, and the thread will just naturally move down the list, and you won't have to see it anymore. With all the replies of REPOST! you just keep the thread up longer.. am I missing something here?

I had not seen that before, OP. Pretty sweet. Looking forward to the next rendition.

You dont understand how much this video got posted last year... n00b.

I know that I'm new here.. way to make a guy feel welcome BTW.

So it got posted a lot last year. Okay... doesn't you posting in a thread keep it where you have to look at it for a longer period of time? This is my question. The 5 people that haven't seen it, see it, reply, and the thing goes away. I get that it was posted a lot. I don't really get the reaction to reposts, it seems to just make it worse.

Calling out reposts is the national pastime around here.

Um, the search function does work. Just use the one below your buddy list. It works every time.

Holy smokes. I knew what this link was without even clicking it. Although, it still is quite the impressive display.

oh sorry just woke up again...Anyway...Did some research and found that the same guy is doing another display this yea.r..BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER.

He plans to release it to the public on 12/3

Oh yeah...This thread wasn't useless after all!

AFAIK, Carson is designing the Oglebay display, but I somehow doubt that it will be all that impressive -- of course, many people that actually put up displays using technologies similar to those that Carson uses were not terribly impressed. His display, while admittedly very impressive to most, was small. I suggest that everyone here go take a gander at PlanetChristmas, their forum (aka chatroom), and the many displays that can be found from there.
