Christmas lights to a new level

It's probably just a couple of those "lightorgams" they havein clubs and stuff. (They detect different sound frequencies and flash lights accordingly) I built one from a kit before, there's a lot of parts to the cheap ones.

Still, that's pretty cool.

It dosent show up on this one, I guess you have to see it yourselves!

Play the video, and leave the window up, and then look at this post over it. At least for me, it was like a window through the page, and I could see the video through it.

Yep, good old overlays. DirectX draw the video onto any part of the screen that is a certin RGB value. If you drew with that color in Paint, you can have all sorts of fun (like drawing fangs on people)

Build a light organ. I have one, and I need to test it.

Wow, that was incredible! And I think I've heard that song before somewhere, it sounds really familiar.

I pity the neighbors.
