Recently I got the chance to take my VJX along to a performance which didn’t involve plastic instruments or Stormtroopers. As the show was outside in a very intimate garden setting, were were looking to document the performance, so the VJX was in a strictly production role, rather than projection.

The security camera setup was perfect for this performance. Their low light sensitivity let them see things that my HD camera couldn’t, and their small size let me put them up close to the performers and hide them in trees without disrupting the lovely aesthetic of carpets and lamps in a garden.

The above video showcases the VJX’s blend modes in combination with effects from the Kaoss Pad Entrancer, and from 1:30 I also incorporated some feedback loops. The output for the Entrancer was set to “Preview”, which allowed me to select its own output as an input, giving me a quick, attractive feedback loop which could be combined with other layers.
