Old school still rules anew and other stories
With Modul8 2.6 now out there in the world I await to see what kind of things will start popping up on Vimeo and elsewhere that take advantage of the new features. For now there is still a lot of excitement going on with what is there. The above loaded in freshly yesterday, Visualicious (aka Chika) and Parisgraphics mix it V4 style for monthly Chip Music event in Philadelphia delivering heavy with the pounding (by 8 bit standards) track OMG GUITAR from Animal Style. I got to hang out with Paris for a bit during my visit. Even though he is not an m8 user I think it is worth mentioning that he has some pretty interesting hardware for doing his stuff. He explains it very clearly in this video. Lets play!
If you live in the UK, part of your taxes goes to fund the BBC. If you are into VJing you get back more then just programming and web content. You also get access to lost of really nice video footage that they just don't know what to do with. So all you VJs in the UK, you have 1 up on everyone else with this bountiful harvest.
In the domain of that ever notorious 'mirror' filter that just won't die here is at least something bizarre and entertaining that struck me coming down the vimeo pipe. The people involved took photographs of the attendees and the projected them. Perhaps the lesson for me here is that often the most obvious and simple things can be highly gratifying. The good news for these folks is that the new Movie Folder feature will cut their work down a bit making faces bigger, faster.

Hi Ilan! We could have used the mirrorfilter for the faces but we needed a quicktime of the output fast: so in the end we just made the movies with final cut pro and some presets and threw it on the two screens with modul8. I wish I had some more footage of that show for you to view: it was kind of leaning on the speed of modul8 :-) And we also use that new possibility to show a updateable folder of images as a movie pretty much! Best Regards, Mathijs
