Hi everybody,
This is my first time writing in this forum.
I want to build a long line of flexible LEDs with 8 rows of LEDs x (approximately) 10 meters long.
If I use 144 LEDs / meter, that would result in 1440 LEDs x 8 lines = 11520 LEDs
and finally play some animation on them (art project).
I though about using neopixel LEDs originally.
Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 144 LED
then I noticed the LED matrix and to put them one after another:
Flexible 8x32 NeoPixel RGB LED Matrix
Since I have used Teensy, in the past I would like to continue to do so.
My first candidate is to use the Teensy 3.5 together with the OctoWS2811 Adaptor board.
Any help is appreciated as I have not dealt with such huge number of LEDs previously.

Do you think that is a good choice of micro-controller, is it even possible to drive so many LEDs with one Teensy 3.5 or do I need more than one?
Also should I use rows of strips or LED matrix and put them next to each other?
Does the OctoWS2811 LED Library handle the case of a display built with multiple LED matrix? or am I limited to use LED strips only?
I have also notices that there is a 144 LEDs/meter RGBW strip available now! Can I use the library with those strip (SK6812RGBW Datasheet) ?
