Pixel singing faces

I had initially planned on making 3 singing christmas trees using 170 bullet nodes per tree. As with many ideas, this slowly morphed into a star, a tree and a reindeer. After making a prototype tree, the node count also increased to about 220 per face.

The mouth layout is identical on each singing face which also makes the xlights model identical.

For those of you that wish to incorporate singing elements into your display, a word of warning. However long it takes you to sequence a song now - multiply that by 3! Once you have put the lyrics for the whole song into xlights, you then need to align each word with the audio. When this is done, each phenome then needs adjusting to match the audio. Start this in January!

The very nearly complete faces are here singing winter wonderland and blue christmas .
