Synopses & Reviews
VJing is a type of performance that combines the visual possibilities of filmmaking with the improvisational pleasures of jazz. Live visuals now accompany DJs, bands, raves, and dance recitals, and are starting to take center stage as main attractions on their own. Until recently, only deep-pocketed performers could participate, but with prices dropping dramatically on the major components, anyone with an imagination, and a copy of The Joy of VJ, can join in. This book-and-DVD package blends practical information, including hardware and software tips, with cultural context and history, from the 1920s "color concerts" to the '60s psychedelic light shows to the contemporary scene's huge projection screens. Designed for both beginners and veterans, the book is packed with interviews with major players in the international VJ scene that offer intriguing insight. Additional chapters discuss relevant copyright issues and lessons from related fields such as film editing and improvisational theater.
