Having a go at Video Dj-ing!

As part of our college course we had to have a look at producing a 30 second clip of us video dj-ing . A concept of which i had only heard of  - never attempted , im just used to mixxing tracks together not video clips ontop :P After showing us the software which we could use we all set to work . First of all I spent about and hour trawling the web for suitable vj clips eventually i found my ideal set on a website called "www.archive.org" A huge internet database consisting of anything and everything.



The software we were using is called Qwerty Vj ( not exactly sure how the letters on a keyboard resembled video djing , but they did ! )


Here it is , its a fairly straight forward deal of affairs with two individual screens to show the images/videos before they are mixxed , then a third screen to show the two images mixxing together , the mix of the images is controlled by the cross fader beneath it. The nice feature about this software is that it has a built in recording feature that you can set to record whilst you mix.

So heres a little video of me having a quick go at it :)

And thats about it for my little insight into the world of video djing :)
