Promoter vs VJ

[vjdjwaffelz]

PRICELESS!!! and promoters i've never heard of wonder why i wont work with them... lol so hey man uh how bout i pay half your expenses for you to come to my party in some mud pit thats not tarped off during rainy season... i'll cover your gas for half the trip man! you need anything else? a rickety ladder to stick all your projectors on maybe? FUCK YOU KID! i get atleast what your headliner gets since thats the only dj your paying anyways or dont waste my time talking to me.

[ThaylaTDP]

Nao entendi nada sobre esse promouter

[VJFranzK]

Though a "worst case scenario", this covers many of the issues real VJ's face! It's funny because it's true...

[technobeeztv]

this is so true. and getting stiffed at the end. it is nice to rock the house but putting 40 hours into a party for a couple of hundred dollars does suck especially when the promoters short you in the end. technobeeztv.

[vjloops]

Check out Promoter vs. VJ part II "Payback is a bitch!"

[Fehlverhalten08]

TRUE!



[atelieruno]

oh, it's too realistic story........

Then, I started operate not only projector but also Lighting equipments. (I also made hand-made moving projectors and use it as GOBO-moving lights)

Then I send invoice as "Stage Visual Direction."

[AllFractUp]

Great training vid.  I just caught up with everything I have been going through. Funny stuff.

[XanaHXX1]

I guess everyone watches the VJ's work on the screens, but only a few get to see the VJ in action. They are always out of the spotlight .. next to a cage of beers! :P

[svflights]

There is a way to be sure to get paid and it works. I do lighting, but I'm also an electrician. I made sure the sound was powered by MY distro(s) that I tied into the main panel with MY breaker(s). I give a specific written deadline to when I will be paid. The promoters begin freaking out when I say at 10min before deadline, "the first piece of my equipment to be turned off is (of coarse) MY distro box". ;-) No sound, no party. THEN watch the excuses start flying: not enough tix sold, alrea

[svflights]

Holy crap, it's a promoters 'rubber stamp' of Q&A booking arrangements! Typical. Why not just pay the promoter to bust your ass and skip the BS negotiations? LMFAO Great Video!!!

[weezhum]

HAHAHA ISNT THIS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ashlo89]

LOVE this

[VJZANNE]

lol

This is my life..

[VJZANNE]

ik weet niet of ik moet lachen of huilen :S

[Qubisten]

great! My first VJ-experience in a nutshell. 8 hours straight, for free.

[SPKaa]

No wonder software is pirated.

[artificialeyes]

yeah...all of this is just toooo real. The only missing line i have heard is "come on, we're all family..."

brilliant dialog :)

[EyebyteVisuals]

@artificialeyes Or how about: "If we do well on the door, I'll fully sort you out"

[cnunez700]

Muy cierto!!!!.....lo he escuchado muchas veces .... jajajaja.

[DaPunisherDemo]

This is so so funny.

One reason why I only VJ for free for events that sound artistically fun to me, at least I know what I'm getting into and don't expect the pay.

Been asked one time to VJ for free then last minute they make up excuses as to why they don't need me. More promoters need to see this video.

'You can get a free drink". ROFL!!! Just trying to get one on the night is a joke in itself.

Major props for whoever made this video.

[anim8er2]

I once talked to some folks about a charity event. OK, you don't get paid when you do something for charity, but they had this attitude that they were doing ME a favor by bringing in my $50K of gear to do this thing. I don't think so.

`Learn to mix sound & you can earn some money, learn to edit video & you can earn more... Learn lighting & you can earn some more, learn to shoot, do FX & animate & you can earn even more... Put all those skills together & learn to do it all in realtime - you might not get paid at all!'

To quote Dave Hyperdelic... `I gave up doing visuals because I was tired of being first in, last out & getting paid less than the coatcheck girl!'

[vjvideoking]

Hi Vjs

My name is vj nirvana from rio de janeiro Brasil.

This f*** happens around the world.

I was thinking its only here.

Congratulations !!!!!!

[visualdjmax]

Brilliant. Love it!

[MammaCarmela]

I know a few vj's, and they all have this type of story to tell. It is a funny video, but too bad it is the norm rather than a rarity.

[VJPCrazy]

this video is a perfect example of what managers, disco club owners and almost everyone thinks and do to video jockeys....
