Jasper
Cook and Kat Black are VJzoo. We're
VJ's and video artists who do artsy-style
VJing.
If you live in Perth, Western Australia, why not come
along to one of our events and
say hi - we're the ones staring intently at laptop
screens,
pretty easy to find! We're the busiest VJs in Perth and
do the widest range of events, so there's probably
something coming up that's your style.
In
2006
we did our first International Tour, including Singapore,
Spain and the US. In 2007
we toured Singapore, Paris, Rome and London,
then held the ByteMe.net.au Festival
in Perth in December 2007.
We
also uploaded the handbook from our
Painting with Light courses held in 2006 - it's
probably the closest thing to a "How
To VJ Manual" that's available for
newbs. Hope it's of some help.
In
non-VJ news, Kat's working on a new tarot
deck

Tarot thanks
to a generous private benefactor in the US.

If
you're in Perth and interested in learning to VJ,
an experienced
VJ looking to network & jam with others, or even
just interested in seeing what we do and how we do it,
come
along to Plug n Play Perth.
When we find a projection-friendly venue....
We
love to develop specific content for corporate events
- such as that done for WABAPA
and the West Coast Eagles,
Our
usual styles range from retro to abstract art-style 'video
painting'. We do fun, happy party stuff too - eg for wedding
receptions, 21st parties etc with themes like Bollywood
and vintage Jazz, for example.
If
you like the VJzoo style, you could hire
us to do VJing at one of your own events or gigs.
If you're wondering if we're any good, ask around. Perth's
a small town in many ways and I'm sure you know someone
we've worked with. We've listed all our previous
events, so you can see who we've worked with and the
huge range of events we've done in the past few years.
We are committed to professionalism and doing the best
we can - so we only agree to VJ at events that we think
we can really add something to.
What
we don't do is 90's rave-style stuff using 3D rendering
or beat-synched eyecandy visualisations. It just doesn't
suit our VJing style. If you're after a Perth VJ with
a different style to us, we enthusiastically recommend
Roly
Skender, VJ
Trixee or VJ:555
We
put a lot of effort into developing the VJ scene, both
locally through formal workshops and the informal Plug
n Play, and also on this website. We have no problem getting
as much work as we can cope with, and so anything we can
do to develop more professional VJ's, the better.
We
realise that means that our style won't remain as unique,
as we give away pretty much all of our 'secrets', but
then that will just mean we have to keep developing and
improving - which has got to be a good thing, eh?
