have a good idea of what a VJ does at parties, by using a vision mixer to mix together different abstract images in time with the music...But these are usually computer generated fractals or edited stock footage.
Anyways, I'm a film student with broadcast quality equipment and I'd like to contribute to the Psy scene creatively so I figure I can actually put my gear to good use here by filming Psytrance visuals that can be screened against a DJs set or live performance. Ie, a performer gives me their set and I go out to film imagery that suits it before manipulating the live footage with PC effects so they end up with visuals that truly suit their music.
I'm going to go out and do one for one of my tracks to see how it works, but do you think it's a service that could be put to good use in the scene? |

I have broadcast quality equipment and industry standard editing software so I'm wondering how I'd do this.
I'd like to film real - but arbitrary footage - that I can piece together in my edit suite, adding effects and manpulation, to form a music video of sorts (in studio, not realtime.)
I'm guessing I'd then split the images in that video to separate clips and then use a live VJ mixer like Arkaos to trigger those clips at different times, and add different effects onto them if needed?
That's all cool for live footage, but how does one go about getting that abstract, psychedelic fractal stuff to use in between the live clips? Would something like Arkaos be able to generate them natively? |

This sounds really cool, i would love to see what a film student could do. I personally have a very low opinion of vjs, of everything that could be done it seems very unexplored.
for the fractal stuff just take any footage and mirror it twice in an editing program. Then mess with saturation.
check out live Tool concerts on youtube and what adam jones does. he's a sick stop animation guy and his backdrop video stuff rules.
this guy from deviant art does some cool stuff that isnt cliche uncreative fractal bullshit too:
