From the looks of it, I'd say the EE in question spent some time in a
video editing suite. Yeah, those are real lights, but look at how the
shadows in the foreground change - that isn't all one take.

It's real images but I think the timing was faked to fit the music.
Nicely done, though.

This great display has been the topic on several boards recently. It is indeed
a real display, the technical information has been posted on several sites,
including the programming code need to run the many lighting controllers. It's
in Mason, Ohio as I recall.

It's real, timing is not faked.

the music is broadcast through low powered FM, so as not to annoy the
neighbors with sound (as if the lights and traffic weren't enough!).
anyway, the guy shut down because of an accident and traffic congestion.

With the 'instant on' LED's and their low power consumption, the task is much
less daunting than it appears.

What an EE and family do with too much free time?
Bet they had a lot of fun setting that up before they hung the lights.
Even if it's fake, it's beautiful animation.

Too late, it was shut down indefinitely as of yesterday, due to all
the traffic congestion it was causing.

He has another song out on the net called jingle.wmv. It's more in line with
Christmas, but not as visually spectacular. I'm just glad that I don't live
across the street from him (although if I did I would likely have helped him
build it). It's fun to watch ----once.
