ThinkBike

Thought I'd do a mashup inspired by Hexstatic who wright tunes and videos together.
I re-edited a load of road safety adverts to a tune written by Surfin'Bernard (which i had permission to use) Its low quality because the footage is from youtube.

projection tests:








A few tests:










Experriments:

I've been having a much nicer time experimenting with projection and editing than with VJ software. There are a number of problems i have encountered whilst trying to use Modul8, Resolume Avenue and a few other buggy Applications, not to mention MIDI mapping problems. I have used them in OSX and Windows to try and remedy these problems but no luck so far.

Due to all this i have been experimenting with glass paint and projections to produce some original video. I will post some test shots of these on here tonight.

I have also been experimanting with edditing to music. Videos to follow...

Aim Presentation

I aim to exhibit a live VJ set, mixing video in conjunction with a live DJ.

A VJ mixes live and/or pre-recorded video in conjunction with other artists such as a DJ.
A VJ can use a laptop, live cameras or hardware such as video mixers to produce visuals.
Usualy a VJ will have a library of visual samples they have prepared earlier in order to mix with.

In an earlier module I studied sound and image generation which gave me an interest in editing video to music and sounds.



Video Art



Few Other Things :

'Smile' was done for video art or sound and image generation:



This was a video i took of a friday night in, more towards the end it becomes more like what i want to do with my VJ visuals:



I want the visuals to stick closely to the sound. I don’t just want to play some videos over some music.

Sense of Humour! Recycling clips and Nostalgia.

Experiment with and learn different VJ software such as Resolume and modul8 to find out what is actually possible and which software is best for what I want to achieve.
Experiment with different hardware for the same reason. - The uni has a visual mixer that I will have a go on.
At the same time I am collecting and producing a library of visual samples.
I think during this process I will have time to think about my theme and topic.
I don’t want my final piece to rely too heavily on having a theme or a “message” I hope it will be more abstract and concentrate on how well it goes with the music and the quality of the image.
I’ve also started a live journal so I can document my research and progress. And here it is!
