djm 800 isnt even turned on lol

[markbreak]

Hi DJBurgess08

I swear to you (and others that have made similar comments) that the djm800 was turned on. What you are seeing is LIVE. To get a clean video image the process is to blast the scene with light and then close the Iris on the camera. This reduces image noise and gives sharp focus. The down-side is that you loose the subltey self-illuminated LEDS and Dials. The performance was recorded four times on 2x cameras (and the 3X decks taking outputs from the 2XDVJ1000 and mixed output).

Great job editing a great set, what program did you use for the editing?

[markbreak]

Hi,thanks.

The 3D sequences were made in 3DSMAX9, I then 'cut' the sequence in PremiereProCS3 (realtime, so nice and fast for edit decisions) and imported this into AfterEffectsCS3 for the layering/screens/treatment etc.

The video was shot using a simple black cloth using two static Sony HDV Z1 cameras. I only had two weeks to make the video from shoot to product launch so it was a tight schedule. Yoda also uses section of the video in his live show.

cheers Mark.

[DJpilsonKorea]

is dvj difficult or dj difficult?

[markbreak]

Yoda is using Pioneer DVJ1000 turntables, these play DVD discs (you can see the source DVD material on the A & B screens, he's then mixing the DVDs into the Output.

It's tricky as you're juggling both the music and visual performance.

[Remixvideocollector]

I didn't even notice but you're right. The mixer is NOT even "ON".

[Fryman1982]

watching the man at work in kilburn last nite, hes brilliant, but not that crazy live. awesome mixer

[swailesluke]

I know its "Oh Mcdonald had a farm" on 4:33, but who's it by and whats the name of it?? Please!!

[Halfand8]

id check the dates on how long each has been performing

[Kiedis95]

Basically just a copy-cat of Mike Relm.

[DjFusion86]

yes it's on because you can see the vu meter. It's propably looking off because of the lighting in the studio a little like you play outside your gear look off because of the sun

[produKtNZ]

Everything you said was completely....

True :D

I had absolutely NO idea what a VJ was until pioneer got into it, and they most definitely did exist prior :)

[MetamorphicRecs]

VJs are for the background...as long as that is clear then I can appreciate this on a "its OK for the background" level...

just as long as we are also clear that VJs only exist so Pioneer can sell more stuff, without all the promotional efforts of Pioneer nobody would know or care what a VJ was..

[blazinNAKEDBEERz]

He's got the "act like a fool" part down.

if you are refereing to the loads of scratching that seems to happening when Yoda isn't scratching the DVJ's, it because most of that scratching and cutting up is on the original track.

Yoda is mixing Yoda tracks, so they already have tons of cuts and scratches in them already..

nice use of the 3 hot Que buttons though, when he does the drumming bit!
