How To Get Started


What You Need

  1. A Projector – You will need a quality projector for this kind of project. We recommend you use a projector with 3000 ANSI lumens of brightness or more and 720p or higher native resolution. Click here for help choosing a projector and Click here for a list of recommended projectors.
  2. A Computer – Laptops or notebook computers are convenient because you have to temporarily bring the computer outside to draw your house map. However, a desktop computer can work too if you are willing to move it. Optionally, you could use an inexpensive mini computer. Phones or tablets don’t work well because of screen resolution issues and problems with projector connectivity.
  3. Video Player – You’ll need something to play your final videos. You could use your computer, but we recommend you use a digital media player. Click here for a list of recommended digital media players.

This list represents the minimum of what you will need, but there are other items you may want to make your show better. To make it easy, we offer complete equipment packages here that include a weatherproof enclosure, audio system and more.


What You Do

  1. Take your computer and projector outside at night and shine the beam on your house. Then follow the instructions for drawing a house map outline detailed here.
  2. Take a photo of your house so we can see what it looks like.
  3. Choose the video you would like customized and place your order.
  4. Send us the map and photo via email.

What We Do

  1. Once we receive your payment, map and photo, the first thing we will do is convert your map to a test video and send it to you as an email attachment. Project the test video on your house to confirm that your map lines up in video format. If it doesn’t line up, we will help you do some troubleshooting.
  2. After we receive confirmation from you that your test video is lining up, we will modify our video to fit your map. This process takes about 1 week, but that will vary depending on our workload. If you need it by a certain date, let us know and we will see what we can do to get it to you in time.
  3. When your video is ready, we will post it to our server for you to download in digital format. We will email the download link to you.
