This is actually the second setup video for our backyard theater.  Both are now posted on YouTube and elsewhere.

The original configuration was located a few feet away on the grass strip that lines our row of town homes.  That video was done using similar time lapse techniques but only one camera angle was used.

Now it's technically in an alley, but "alley theater" sounds so dirty.  This time around, in this new video, the audio and storage of the A/V system are much better using more powerful amplification and more speakers.  The addition of the 8-unit rack case makes for quicker setup and teardown times because everything is consolidated and pre-wired.

I've considered making more of these videos, but you can only do so much to make each unique.  I'll probably add more as the upgrades to components come along.  For now, let's see if the backyard theater fans in Oxnard and Thousand Oaks can see this baby after the sun goes down.
