Well, I've been asked to do another video gig. This time it's going to be in a large, raw warehouse space. This just tickles me because the bigger the space, the bigger the projections!
My cousin is curating a show at the 319 Performance Space on Friday, April 30th. There will be 4 bands and 4 DJs and as far as projections go, I have creative freedom for the entire night!
I would of course love to mix video for 8 straight hours, but I think that could also get a little intense, so I am looking for a few other people to help me out with the workload.
Additionally, the curators are looking for artists to help design large art panels that will double as acoustic treatments. Essentially, I would love to see this place turned into an audio/visual wonderland/party palace.
If you know anyone who is interested in working on this, please shoot me a line!
Love,
Lizzie B.

Making Oral Surgery Look Better than Ever
This past weekend I had my first "VJ" gig. I would rather not call it "VJing" though as I don't like the idea of being a "video jockey." I prefer to just call it live video mixing, though come to think of it, maybe I'll pay a friendly nod to the 1950s, which inspire a lot of my visuals and call myself a Video Jerk.
Most of all, I'm kinda just psyched to have a new audio/visual tool to play with.
A good friend of mine organized some people to throw a benefit party for a girl who lost her teeth in a terrible biking accident.
Because of the theme, I decided to find imagery of oral surgery, old toothpaste commercials and ephemeral films on good oral hygiene. The images created a cool ambiance while DJ Suggested D provided aural pleasure with a slightly thematic DJ set.
Most of what I did involved taking images and boosting the contrast, making sort of ethereal and whimsical moving backgrounds, sometimes layering two different videos and sometimes layering the same video on top of itself. Anyway, I look forward to playing with this toy more often and eventually posting some video footage.
Anyway. I feel like I'm living inside an early 90s music video looking at these images. If anyone has any parties that need some video ambiance I'd love some more experience doing this stuff.
