Wow, this thing has really gone crazy with the viewers. Let me first start by saying that this is not my house. Regardless of what any of the comments read, this house really does exist, I have seen it with my own eyes and nothing you see in the video is trickery, it's all real. This display was the work of Carson Williams, a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the 16,000 Christmas lights in his annual holiday lighting spectacular (from Christmas 2004). His 2005 display includes over 25,000 lights that he spent nearly two months and $10,000 to hook up. So that the Williams' neighbors aren't disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house are informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment.
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.
Carson's Christmas display proved so popular that it was featured in a Miller Lite beer commercial in December 2005.

DbCSteeilLegion.. I would think you would understand this is NOT stop motion. People from states around drove to this guys house to see this.. Had the music broadcasting on an AM station. Cops had to put an end to his light show because it was disurpting the taffic. Caused back ups for miles around. Personally I think the town should have commended him for the revenue he brought in.
You can actually purchase the parts to do this. Google it and you will see. This has been done manually with taped music and SMPTE marks too. SMPTE is what is used for the motion picture industry to synchronize video and sound. This is not a fake and about two years old.
