Very cool - but I think it was done with still shots and editting. The first time I saw it I figured he had a set up like a rock concert. The more I see it and think about it I think it was done with photo editting. Maybe not though.

 

I kind of thought the same thing. It would have to be computer controlled and each light wired individually to the controls. If you watch some of the trees turn on one time then a couple the next. Never in the same sequence.

 

Display of the Koenig family Christmas display in New Jersey. The display features almost 35,000 lights, all controlled by 48 Light-O-Rama computer channels and 3 X-10 home automation channels, synchronized to several Christmas songs. Other features include 10 strobe lights, a bubble machine, a fog machine, 4 outdoor speakers, FM broadcasting, an animated Snowman snowball fight, and Santa's Workshop. Our website is at:

I found a way to tell that it is real just by watching the film. There is a light flashing just to the left of the house every ~2 1/2 seconds. Definitely looks like it is coming from a tower in the background

For those of you who think this is fake, here is the website to prove you wrong.

There is also another video set to Jinglebells.

Origins: A video clip (viewable here or here) shows home Christmas lights synchronized to flash in time to a musical score, in this case Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Wizard in Winter" (from The Lost Christmas Eve album).

 

This display was the work of Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio, who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that control the 16,000 Christmas lights in his 2004 holiday lighting spectacular. The musical accompaniment is broadcast over a low-power radio station so that it is only audible to visitors tuned in to the correct frquency and doesn't disturb the neighbors.

 

The rough quality of the video has led some viewers to believe it was put together in stop-action form from still photographs, but that is an artifact of the high compression used in the clip circulated via e-mail. Mr. Williams has posted instructions for recreating his "Wizard in Winter" sequencing, and another of his choreographed Christmas light music shows can be viewed here.
