PLEASE HELP ME BECOME A VJ (:

Forum / VJ londoners

Hi and thanks for reading

well, im new here.. I am really keen to become a VJ and hope you can help. I have always been very passionate about music and art.. studied art in college, did Media Arts for degree, which was basically a degree in short films and more on the experimental side.. I loved this, and really excelled, I produced some really unique style work and would love to be able to focus on this side of video again... I have since graduating worked in jobs that just dont suit me.. much less creative, and its not what I want to do anymore.. I love the idea of becoming a VJ, because my videos are much more experimental and dont really fit into other genres.. I so much want to work with clubs, theatres, and other artists, is it really possible to make a career out of this.. I am starting to feel like Im throwing my life down the pan because I need to get some of this creativity out.. have gone back to painting and commercial videography for now, but this is not for me - Please help my become a VJ !!!

I have a full editing set up - and am an experienced video editor, but dont understand the whole aspect of live work... how / what software, how much would a full set up cost.. any advice and I will be so grateful...

Creating content is the hard bit (well, can be... some people don't create content at all...).

If you can create something that looks cool, all you need to do is show it!

I use NeonV2 but there are other free programs floating about, and plenty of expensive non-free ones.

Free:• NeonV2 -- http://www.neonv2.com
• VisualJockey -- http://www.visualjockey.com/[/list:u]Non-free:• Resolume
• Modul8[/list:u]More. Somewhere...
