I'll bet dollars to donuts that it is someone that does theatrical lighting, especially for rock concerts. It would have taken a huge amount of time to wire up. Each light string has to "home run" back to the lighting controller. Programming would have taken a long time too. Each cue is programmed in advance then synced to the music with SMPTE timecode.

Can you say a couple of still pics strung together to go along with the music?

I highly doubt it. Notice the way that the lights fade on and off like incandescant lights do, especially the way that the light reflects on the house and fence. There are so many different cues with different combinations of individual lights and groups of lights that it would be extremely difficult to photograph every combination.

You're right it would be difficult if not impossible with a still camera. However, with a digital cam and video editing software you can capture frames and print them off. A very tedious task but it is possible.

that was pretty cool...

I wouldn't mind doing that one year. But I agree, you would have to be in the business or spend alot of dough and time to get that right.

Real or Animated that's pretty damn cool.

THATS CRAZY! its amazing how they got it syncronized!

After seeing this in a Miller Light beer commercial I decided to do some more research. This link ties together.
