Circuit Bent Video Painter- work in progress...



I captured a bunch of video from a circuit bent video painter kid's toy and exported all the frames out to stills. I am deleting all the garbage frames, and will recompress to a video with only the GOOD frames when I'm done. Tedious, but ultimately rewarding. Here's a still frame I thought was particularly nice. I really like the color created by the video painter and glitched by my video mixer, along with the keyed frame on top of it. This was all analog composition, the computer was only used to capture the video feed.

New Feedbacker Patch!



Here is a screenshot I just took from my test of a new Quartz Composer Feedback patch, with integrated MIDI control of many of the parameters of the patch. Twiddling knobs and sliders are a pure delight with these kinds of visuals, I can't wait to add this into my main VJ patch, which has gotten quite hairy (again) I am now on Version 4.4, and started designing 5.0, with iPhone control of video goodies. This is going to be an exciting year for visuals, stay tuned for more mayhem!

PS, thanks to the good folks at Evilmadscientist for feedback setup tips!

Custom VJ Box Setup Ver 3.0


yay for Version 3! the box was modified so it hinges to the side, with the laptop on the right and mixer to the left. This made the setup MUCH easier, and I was no longer hidden behind a wall of equipment. 

P2 Digital Media Management

Siam Best Thai Restaurant- January 7 Thursday night Gig in Venice


The kind owners at Siam Best welcomed us to take over to create a lounge atmosphere for the evening with lighting, DJs, and of course VISUALS! This was mostly a laid back set, I ran mostly space exploration and nature stuff, with some extra goodies keyed over the top, though towards they end when they cranked it up, I followed suit, bringing in more glitchy amped up madness, and couldn't resist mixing in some Clutch Cargo, always looks good.

New Years Eve Party 2010


New Years Eve Party 2010 was a great Time! We cruised around the Marina Del Rey Harbor at midnight to see the fireworks show, and I ran a custom Quartz Composer countdown timer, with visuals triggered at the end. I also took the opportunity to flood the place out with the fog machine, not too difficult on a small size area of a yacht's living room! The lights looked great, and the "Scorpion" added some great energy to the post countdown action!

December 12 " Imagine" Private Night club event in Culver City.


This was a great night, tested out some new lighting gear, and set up the projector on a nice 8 ft throw size!
doing a complete setup was good, from all video gear to projector and stand. didn't have to hand a screen, which saved a lot of time.

DJs Were Eric ramaisier, and Tesslatronic, great work guys!
