Beauty and the Beast !

Last night I went to the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde (TNM) and I watched a piece using a lot of projection.

Read more to watch the trailer

Actually the most trilling part of the piece was to find how they do the media installation. Having a projection over an actor to put more to his play, or playing directly with a fake other actor. The actor play and the scenario was not that much spectacular. Unless the technical aspect have stolen the first place.

Have a look at the trailer!



You will find all the other information at this link

This kind of new theater with projection really start to emerge in Quebec with the creations of Robert Lepage.

VJ softwares : Resolume 2 and 3 (quick review)

Lets talk : VJ software


Resolume 2.4

Right now I'm using Resolume 2.4  to make my projection. The soft is pretty simple for some one who already saw Photoshop and Premiere, and let say Fruityloop Studio. You play with your decks (20 video per deck) of short film trough tree layers. To merge and mix your layers just use the presents effects and play with the variation. It possible to synchronize most of the parameter with music or directly on the tempo.

I recommend it for your first trial. You do not really need a controller to fully use all the feature


Resolume 3 Avenue

I didn't fully test the new Resolume 3 Avenue yet. For what I saw it a little bit more complex...You can be DJ-VJ in same time by associating video and music sample together. So to do a good live set with this version you will need a MIDI or USB controller. If you just having an interest in vjing and want to try, it may not be the right fit... 

Web site: http://www.resolume.com/


Anyway I already try a lot of other soft like Arkaos and you can find a big list of many other vjing software here : http://www.audiovisualizers.com/toolshak/vjprgpix/softmain.htm

JumiMouse (review) Part II

Review Part I

Ok, so I finaly try this app on my IpodTouch 1G during the last crazy party and, well...it work! It was possible to leave the VJ boot, go at the bar, take a beer and continue the projection.

I got some problems of connection some time when I whent outside. But it alls those problem are about loosing connection and don't seams to stop the others softwares running.

So I recommand it. you can also have a look on iRemote Suite and a couple of other application in the same type.

I probably gonna test this one before thinking to buy a full version.

JumiMouse (review) Part I

Ok folks...

I just download a new app for my IPod Touch… JumiMouse. Seriously, this application is awesome. (Don’t know if you already eared of it) It allow you to control a computer via your IPod Touch trough a WIFI connection (ad-Hoc connection do not seems to work for now... If you got a clue just leave it in comment section).

The good thing about this app:

• You can stream your monitor
• You can use your mouse
• You can use your keyboard (full version only...)
• You can use your VJ software…

The full version is about 1.99$ on the Apple Store in this moment

So I will test it on the next event and give you my feedback… What will be better than sitting at the bar, drinking a beer and doing the projection in same time?
