Editing video to music is easy to do.... it takes real talent thought to find the right video and match it to the right music.

As to this video... it is very easy to do what they did.

There is a lot of planning involved... but basically it was all editing. They just shot each light segment independantly then assembled them in the editing process to match the music.

Very easy to do. Just time consuming. A very nice video BTW.

Actually this isn't a video edit job, it's a real Christmas light display set to music.

It's like someone said earlier in this thread, the stop-action appearance is because of the file compression.
