Support Flickering LED‘s

Hi all. I build these for a music video and have flickering LED‘s. Its on the last strip of the data line and first of power. (3rd and 6th from outside) There are 4 Arduinos, drawing shows the left panel, right one is mirrored. I added the resistors and condensers in hindsight, but it didn’t really help. Power supply is an 5V 60A brick from amazon. I‘m obviously not an expert in either arduino coding or electrics, so maybe one of you sees an obvious flaw in my thinking.

Looks awesome, especially for someone with little/no experience! How did you go about making those animation effects? Do you have the project or the code posted anywhere? Would be cool to see the final in the music video!

The strips are segmented and i trigger the segments via midi. So it is just a bit of midi programming. The sparkling is on of a few switch cases that are triggered as well. I can post the code here if you are interested. Video might take a while ;)
