A slightly messy and unplanned video showing the construction of the Department of Villainy Christmas lighting panel for the local town hall display.
It's based on an aluminium frame with a welded steel mesh attached to it, to allow easy attaching of various features including LED based linear (neon) strip, plastic forms for use with the same material and a back drop of LEDs to fill in the space.
It's designed to be stripped and re-used for different years/displays.
The "Department of Villainy" name is a spoof on the naming of official government departments.
Speeded up footage of me building the metal frame and attaching the mesh:-

Converting standard USB/battery powered "neon" shapes to LED for use in the panel.

The first version of the software for animating the frame and stars. It was to get a feel for what worked, and was then adjusted for the best visual effect.
