It’s finally complete after countless glue gun burns, constant crinkling of tin foil, and a lot of AA batteries. For this week, I constructed a wooden base for the tree to sit on, with a hole drilled through to route the controller wires out the back. This allowed me to take really clean photos without random wires getting in the way. I also experimented with ways to darken my room to achieve as close to total darkness as I can<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The controllers coming out from beneath the base. They each have an annoying red light on them while powered on but it can easily be hidden by flipping them over. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The photos above are the tree with all the lighting zones on. I was pretty surprised as to how dark I could get the background for these photos despite the brightness from all 30ft of EL wire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the seasons…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s some video footage of “rave” mode. It looks almost alive in real life, unfortunately the effect doesn’t translate well over video <\/p>\n\n\n\n
