I second the recommendation on seeking out your local public access TV station. We have one here in Boise, plus a freelance producer who does nothing but shoot videos of bands in the TV studio...for free. He shot all those live looping videos I posted to the group a while back, which yielded my promo DVD and the 30 minute show that will be on air. They had three cameras on me, full studio board, video mixing tools, all sorts of cool panning and fade-in/out effects, etc. They also have equipment that any producer can use for free after taking only three producing/editing courses for $40 each, plus $25 for a producers card. So, basically $145 to shoot anything you want and use your 30 minutes a week of free airtime. It's amazing what they air on public access stations....all sorts of controversial stuff, experimental film, religious and political talk shows, etc. I think public access TV is a great thing. Scott - did you convert any of your looping videos to digital format? If so, I've found several places where I've posted mine for free, and you can do the same: www.zed.com www.knowitallvideo.com www.mssvision.com ********************************* Krispen Hartung http://www.krispenhartung.com info@krispenhartung.com -----Original Message----- From: scott hansen [mailto:evanpeewee@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 10:28 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: LOOPERS & VISUAL ARTISTS since most of the discussion has centered around incorporating visuals w/ live looping performances (could try slides, or get old movie projectors, that was a pretty common thing for multi-media artists back in 80's-90's, using found films or making your own). one option no one has mentioned yet, is doing video project and have it broadcast on local public access cable...i'm currently working on project #2 for local broadcast in iowa city (IA) area...believe me i have the cheapest of tools-crappy video camera (which picture is fading fast-more grain the better(?)-transfer to (or call it edit) to VHS machine and ta-da-instant crappy (looping) video...i sort of think of myself as the wayne's world quality of loopers, my first project actually had 2 segments of me playing my looper stuff live in my studio, and i was able to get two 15-min segments, now w/ my youngest at 1 yr old, the new project has more shorter pieces w/ the kids coming in an hitting me on the head w/ plastic shovels and stuff (just finished talking about dada and fluxus in art apprec class, so i let anything go), and i put little transitional pieces, mostly playing w/ the toys around the house and have my prerecorded loop compostions playing in the background. they're fun to work on, cheezy in a sense, but in the end, pretty cheap to do, and hey i'm offering some alternative programming for my area. guess it also gives me a chance to play my new handbuilt tesla/klein guitar project also.....s--- ps-i will say the challenge of coming up w/ interesting stuff live in a looping format is hard... even on video in my comfy cozy basement studio (and i also put some of my paintings in the background so it's not just masonite storage doors for backdrops...) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
