Project: CG-8 Video Synthesizer
Date: March 2005
Japanese engineers asked me to develop still images and patches for the new Edirol CG-8 video synthesizer. I extracted high quality stills from video, in addition to shooting original still images. The challenge was in a week's time to becoming familiar with over 200 effects the CG-8 has built into its system and then creating stills that maximize the capabilities of the unit. Xarene created the 'stamps' for each project (stamps are alpha channels that can be layered on top of the moving images). The patches are included with every CG-8 sold world-wide. www.edirol.com

Project: DVJ Beta Test
Date: 2003
Japanese engineers from Pioneer electronics came to the Dimension7 studio to show off this new talked about pitch control DVD player and to get feedback. Numerous Video Salon attendees showed up to get a glimpse of this soon to be released product.

Project: DVJ Music Video
Date: 2004
I was asked to create a music video that allowed the DVJ to be the editor and to highlight the DVJ’s special scratching capabilities. The soundtrack is by Alaric Burns [Extra Sensory Projection]. Every scene in the video shows predictable movements so the DVJ could be scratched like a record and the viewer could see and hear the scratching. A lot of VJ content is often too abstract and it’s hard to determine the direction of objects in motion. This music video, Girl in the Pod, was shot around San Francisco with Jamie Duggan rolling a large pod around the city. A copy of Girl in the Pod is sold with each DVJ worldwide.

Video Salon is an open community of visual artists representing SF's thriving VJ scene. Video Salon is YOU.

Video artists come together monthly to share ideas, show their work and collaborate with other artists in an informal and social setting. The event is hosted at Dimension7, a San Francisco VJ institution.

We have 3 video mixing stations setup for anyone and everyone to show their own work. Mix video live to the DJs or do your own thing.Video Salon embraces a broad spectrum of time based visual artists including CG artists, experimental film makers, live visual performance artists and installation builders.

Video Salon strives to promote technical experimentation and aesthetic development within our community. We create an open dialog encouraging mutually beneficial critique, cross-pollination and collaboration.

Video RIOT! is a special installment of Video Salon. It is an intense collective projection experience, inspired by a five year series of monthly events that cater to the local VJ scene. In 2002 Video Riot brought out an estimated 500 people, over 70 artists and 40 volunteers, 30 projectors, 2 laser crews, 1 intelligent lighting installation, 7 generators and one pirate radio transmitter to a vacant parking lot in SoMa.

A cross between an edgy electronic tailgate party and a real-time drive-in multiplex, Video Riot! showcases San Francisco's homegrown VJ community. Artists create a massive outdoor wall (1 city block wide)of projected images across from the D7 studio.We try to include a broad spectrum of artists including computer graphics artists, experimental film makers, live visual performance artists and new media installation builders to come and show their work. We want to actively promote technical experimentation and aesthetic development within the VJ cmmunity.

Attendees to tune into the simultaneous radio broadcast by DJs, Alaric and Amy O.

2 Artists head to head on two screens; 1 DJ plays a 3:30 minute track. The first 30 seconds are not judged. At the end of 3 minutes the audience will judge the two artists by using cell phones to send a text message choosing either 1 or 2. A graph will appear on the screen showing the outcome of the votes. The winning artists will advance to the next round.

The audience will judge by:
Composition: How well the images are put together
Original style: Originality is important but original content is not required. There will be a lot of other VJs in the audience voting and most of them know of the commercially released content.
Visual interpretation of the music: Either by algorithmic or human beat mixing, metaphoric or juxposition of content.

2004 VJ Battle, held in conjunction with SIGGRAPH, was sponsored by EDIROL, ATi, Red Bull and IdN magazine.
