Using a combination of NDI, Syphon, Spout, and a USB 3.0 HDMI capture device we could share our feeds, loop them, and mix/blend/mash all of the above. This process led to some visceral results but took a few trials runs to get it all figured out. Allowing both of us to do our own thing or tweak each other’s feed.
The downside is you can change a line of code and end up with a VJ blank screen of death (VBSOD).Ĭhar and I wanted to collaborate, and what better way then for both of us to share our VJ feeds with one another. Here’s a youtube video that rendered out in real time and its executable file size is tiny in comparison to the capture video size. The pro’s of GLSL is in the performance possibilities. VDMX, for instance, has their brand of shader called and ISF. Whether you know it or not, a good number of VJ and projection mapping applications have been making use of GLSL shaders for years. And as time goes on, it will only get better. This style of VJing offers some big live performance pros and cons. Change a few lines of code and tweak them as you go. Skip the 4-hour blender or After effects rendering queue and process visuals in real time. Simply put, GLSL is a shader language that runs directly on the GPU. While there is little documentation on Kodelife, it is very intuitive if you understand the world of GLSL and live creative coding.
We were using a Windows 10 Laptop running Madmapper and Kodelife. Now I’ll go into the details.Īs Char writes on her blog: ( ).
GLSL, Live coding VJing, Mac & PC, projection mapping, VDMX, Mad Mapper, Kodelife, Lumen App, Spout, Syphon, UVC HDMI Capture, four channel HDMI mixers, and fun! Here are some short video clips from Altared I co-VJ’ed with the awesome Char Stiles. There’s a video from the show below and if you’re interested in the process of sharing live VJing content across computers and operating systems read the entire post.
It wasn’t my first time using a multiple projector/computer setup, but adding a PC and Live coding VJ into the mix needed a new workflow. to liaise with other departments, such as artists, creative producers and technical manager.I thought it would be a good idea to document the process used for Cosmic Sound’s Altared event w/ Bary Center, J Butler, To Sleep At Night, Dilettante.liaise with and work under the direction of the site manager., * to liaise with the festival director and other staff to interpret their creative vision into the lighting design.de-rig all equipment at the end of the festival.operate and maintain equipment during the festival run.check the focusing of lighting during tech.pre-rig lighting, ensuring all cables and wires are safely concealed.position lighting, projectors, speakers and sets.ensure all A/V and lighting equipment is in working order and carry out tests.assemble all the lighting and filter equipment needed.
The work demands technical and creative skills to follow instructions that ensure the desired production technical delivery is achieved. This role is suitable for early to mid career technicians seeking to build up experience in the outdoor arts and festivals sector.
Meath, with other roles in our gig locations in Trim and Drogheda. You will be required to and responsible for assembling, operating and maintaining the lighting and A/V equipment used to throughout the festival offering on location at Slane Castle, Co. We are looking for a competent sound and A/V technicians to join our festival delivery team.
