PnP Perth - Thursday 23rd August Report

Another rainy winters night in Perth. A small turnout for PnP, but an enthusiastic one. At least SIX new people came along and had a sit down and serious play with Resolume with us. Some of them had even downloaded our manual and the Resolume trial and loops, and been practicing beforehand which is super-great, cos they knew the right questions to ask to make some real progress :)

I hope that at least one of them might go on to become a VJ.

One of the attendees was Sam Field, who won the Revelation Film Festival's "Buy My Duck" doco comp in 2006 - $10k prize money, lush prize for a comp where the very proscriptive theme was an anti-consumerist message. Irony like that always appeals to me :P

You can watch Sam's doco "Consume This" at http://www.switch.tv/videos/192

We also 'launched' our new reel (ha ha) called "Art School Dropouts" which you can watch low-res online at http://vjzoo.com/seshow0807.htm

Thanks to all the musicians who let us use their music. We gave a copy to all the attendees - typical! We're never going to cover our costs, eh?

Jasper apologises for the quality of this photo, blames it on too many cocktails. This was the best one he took, you should have seen the others...

We're heading off on tour overseas this Friday so there won't be another PnP til late Sept/early Oct - stay tuned for the date.

We're arranging to meet as many VJs as we can on tour in Singapore, Paris and London. VJ France has kindly organised a soiree for us to meet n greet, which we're really looking forward to.

Congrats to VJ Aurora from Singapore who won the Byte Me Blog subscriber comp. Hope you enjoy your prize and perhaps we can give it to you in Singapore next week!

Plans are coming along for the Byte Me! Festival - we have some awesome international guests lined up, just have to get some sponsorship to help pay the airfares. If you'd like to help, go to http://byteme.net.au/spon.html - every little bit helps.
