Although less known by mainstream folks, the word VJ is also used to represent video performance artists who create live visuals on all kind of music. It originates from a parallel with DJs, although most VJs nowadays have more to do with musicians than with DJs. Often using an analog vision mixer, VJs blend and superimpose various inputs over clips. In recent years, musical instrument makers have begun to make specialty equipment for VJing. Popular hardware include the Edirol V4, Pansonic MX & AVE series mixers and Korg's Entrancer effects unit. The evolution of computers has allowed for VJ-specific programs to be produced and has allowed for easier accessibility to the art form. |

I came across a site once that had like a bajillion freeware vj'ing programs, all on a badly designed webpage I downloaded a shitload of stuff but I haven't had the need to do anything with it yet, (and up until recently I didn't have the space) |

ah. sorry for my ignorance then... we call that "videoartist" (which would mean the same in norwegian and english). maybe you'd be interested in that amazingly weird graphic mixer thingie that someone posted once.. I couldn't find it by searching (and god damn, I've made lots of threads with the word "mixer" in them.. didn't notice until now), but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about.. it was a video-projector and a plate with some sensors and some small round thingies.. and then the sensor sensed where those thingies were and transmitted some midi data to a computer and... well, it just looked amazingly great! |

also I remember something from last saturday when I went to see common and razhel at that isle of mtv stuff... they had a room which at first just showed those annoying things that are before and after the commercials on mtv, but after there were two guys doing some mashup of lots of pop songs, and there was one guy on turntables and one on a laptop with some video.. the video followed the tunes being mashed and they also followed every scratch.. however, what I think they were doing was that the one guy on the turntables only had final scratch and was doing stuff with that while the laptop guy was queueing up songs and videos and then the scratch guy controlled their progress and faded between them and stuff.. they probably had a custom-made program if final scratch (or something similar) doesn't do that already... they flashed their web-address on the screen a few times, but I can't remember what it was.. they were maybe called eclectic methods, but I can't be sure... |

I don't really wanna VJ myself (maybe sometime in the future) I just like watching those vj movies. for example. pfanfinderfrei did a collab with Modeselektor. they made a dvd with visuals on music. I'm more searching for that kind of stuff. |
