How to build a Leaping Light Arch, a Pixel Tree and a Pixel Matrix Pixel Grid for an outdoor Christmas Lights Display

San Antonio Texas is home to the Johnson Family Christmas Lights Display (I’ll create a new post for it shortly).

The really neat thing is that Matt Johnson has created a series of  3 videos where he discusses how to create some of the Christmas Lights effects.

The first video details how to build a Leaping Light Arch.

The 2nd video will start after the first one is finished playing. That 2nd video details how to build a Pixel Tree.

When the 2nd video ends, then the 3rd video will start. The 3rd video details how to build a Pixel Matrix Pixel Grid.
