Great Job Lilia!

Nice! Great job indeed.
So lucky that your wife is so keen to do some sequencing. :D
-
Looks really great. Tell your honey "she done good"...
-
Yea, we are just waiting for the xml and rgbeffects file to be shared. LOL
-
Great Sequencing

Very talented sequencing. Was that all done in XL?

I think his wife is opening a sequence store front....I'm sure there will be an introductory 25% off though :)

Don't beg people for their sequences. If they give them out then fine but some people don't want to just share everything they spend a ton of hours creating.

More than happy to pay market $$$ to anyone who wishes to sell a sequence.

Guys, any songs Lilia has created will be sold. There are a few reasons: 1) she spends at least 4-5 hours per song. The most time she spent, 25 hours, was on this song. I spend 15-30 minutes on a song, i give them away. but then my songs are not on the same level as hers. 2) we have put sequencing on hold for the last 3 weeks, we have had a friend and the son of a friend die a few days before christmas and on new years day. Lilia has been over to their houses daily. Lilia ,i believe, wants to sequence some more to take a break. 3) Lilia has had a problem with my 2500 hours of investment in xlights/christmas for the last few years. Since she started sequencing ( and getting paid) that tension has become less. When people get sequencing from her it helps me.
She does a very nice job. She is way more ocd on her sequences than me. I saw her spend 30 pminutes on a 20 second section of "dance of the sugar plum fairy".

very impressive work! what is the going rate for a sequence? quality such as that is worth paying for!

Some thoughts...
first, its great to see people offering their work for free... but I also find it exciting to see that people will be selling sequences to recoup some of their time and energy spent learning the tool and exploiting it to its max.
what enables this to work is the great design that went into xlights from the start. the LOR sequences offered years ago were limited to certain layouts and channel counts -- with xlights a good sequence can be applied to ANY show. this is fantastic!
regarding the sale... does anyone else see the potential of store where people can post videos of their sequences as one stop location for sequences?
also... i expect this situation to arise: Adam creates a great sequence, and offers it for sale. Bob improves on the sequence and also wants to offer it for sale. Could we establish a convention where Bob shares a percentage of the fee with Adam? (50% or something reflecting the increment effort?)

Lilia charges $50 for the first 3 hours. she then charges $20/hr after that. Most of the sequences she did were in the 2-5 hour range. Dance of the Sugar plum fairy she spent 25 hours. It is her favorite song and she did crazy timing minutiae. Every flood light is set to match the notes of the song, .etc.
She does arches in two methods, drop effects on the arch group (fastest method), sequence every arch separately because she wants them to be exact on timing marks (highest quality).
I would never spend this much time on a sequence, but her results are a whole lot better than mine. On average 1-2 hours per minute. If you have lots of models, it is longer. I notice that she doesnt just do a whole house model (what i would do) and call it dine.
Again, her being able to get money from sequencing helps me to heal over "How many hours have you spent on xlights? Basement needs to be finished".

When does the storefront open for Lila's sequences?
