Yeah maybe one day we will be headlining with the DJs. That is the dream anyway.
Often the best sets are working with the DJ's. I was pitching for a new night last night and talkng with the promoters/DJ's I was saying that if you let me know to start with some of the tracks you play I can tailor the set more to suit them the night.
The worst thing is that we VJ's for 6 hours or so and the DJ only do a 2 hour stint.
biznology,
*Shudder* The bad vis displays I feel more harm than good for the 'visuals in clubs' cause.
As I am involved in the devolpment of MilkDrop it is the main focus of my work. I think there is a space for both the automatic sound reactive stuff mixed intellegently with relevant images. I think you will see more of this in the future...wether people notice is another matter though.
Thanks for the unbaised clubbers insight so far people.

sorry if it's ot...
but, r the lasers bad if u stare into them?
i guess so...but almost every event i've been to with lasers, they get aimed into the crowd, so i guess if u look into them that can be bad for ur vision...or are they low powered ones...but even a low power laser is still harmful isn't it?

I don't know the specifics but I think that a extremely short exposure is going to be non harmful......
concerning vj : well ... I started my residency last night!
and yes visuals are important and it's a growing community, but it demands a big financial investment which is major pain in arse

Just wanted to bump this thread to get the viewes of all teh new ppl in the past 6 months.
Thanks for all the info so far it helps ppl like me understand and hopefully expand on your best clubbing experience.
The ppl ur with, the attitude of the others in club/rave, and the music/dj are more important than visuals. Obviously visuals help the mood but like someone said i like lazers better than images projected on a wall.
Btw, scantly clad chix dancing in cages rule Why are things that are so wrong feel so right?

personally the most impressive lighting effect/visual in a club are lasers

How do you get into the VJ business? Do you need any qualifications/experience? It's not something you can really practise in the bedroom is it?
