Whenever I describe the show to people, I always make note of the wrist cam. The video shots were a refreshing change from music videos which are so typical at events like this. As a visuals/video nerd, I was in heaven.

The intro video about 45s was absolutely wonderful too.

Visceral.x, thanks for bringing a great show to Minneapolis. Y’all come back now… hear?

the cool thing about these little cams we put together is that they all have MIDI controlled pan and tilt. we controlled in realtime with a midi control surface and can also record preset positions or simple moves and trigger them in ableton Live.

the 9 cam feeds were then cut on the fly and mixed live with pre-compiled visuals by Ben Stokes (of TINO Corp.)

for your tech-geekery fix,check out some behind the scenes pics from the show:

i’ll be running both the visuals and the cameras for the Australian leg of the tour in a couple weeks, so look for us down under! good times…

Qbert was in Cape Town recently and we used a 4 cam setup. Closeup’s on the turntables at various angles and then occassionally mixing luma keyed textures over the top.

Makes a huge difference when you can see what the turntablists is doing big up on the screen.

The camera was mounted on an eyeglass frame, in the middle of my forehead. I played around with a hand-mounted cam too, but it was really awkward.
