The “live drawing” VJ performance was a blast!
Kudos to “Live Animals” and “Kids Get Hit by Buses” for providing the awesome 8-bit tunes.
Here is a video shot by DigitalReporter featuring “Kids Get Hit by Buses“. (that’s me in the space helmet).
All the graphics are generated live using TagTool on an HP TouchSmart PC, a V-4 video mixer (for the mirror effect), and two Korg Entrancers (for the pixel effect and sampling).
A short “behind the scenes” video of me talking to people between acts. I was trying to put something “pretty” up on the screen while the next band set up. I am especially fond of the part near the end where a little kid asks me to draw a cat! Thank goodness I know what a cat looks like. While not my best drawing, I was happy to oblige!
Thanks to Pete Brand for braving the crowds and taking the time to capture this!
