A 'singing' lifesize Father Christmas

Postby Hugh-AR » 31 Dec 2021 01:35

Our daughter-in-law's Mum and Dad have had this 'singing' Father Christmas since the 1980s. I hadn't realised until watching him this Christmas that the words of all the Christmas music available to play were 'synced' to the mouth movements of the Father Christmas. You can just about lip-read what he is singing (and saying)! Amazing technology for the 1980s!

Very interesting. One great thing about these animated creatures is that when you have had enough you can turn them off! Admit it is well done with the sync of the mouth and the song. Den.

Hi there Hugh,
That is some very good technology thank you for letting us see it Happy New Year my good friend. :D :D :D

Jon D. :) :) :wink:
Hi there I have played from the age of 13 and all my music is played in a sort of dance tempo style. Have worked in nearly all the North East clubs over the years. That gave me a good grounding. Cheers.
