VJing Articles: Craft, Career and Community

VJ VJing Blog: News, ratings and reviews about video mixing, live visuals on events.

VJing articles for people who are already doing it. Performance technique, pricing and negotiation, festival and club realities, interviews with working visual artists — the practical side of live video, written for practitioners rather than for people deciding what the job is.

The business behind VJing articles

Set preparation, how to build a library you can actually navigate at 2 a.m., reading a room and a DJ, audio-reactive work that responds to the music instead of twitching at it, and recovering on stage when something fails. Technique that comes from playing shows. What to charge and how to justify it. Contracts, riders and technical requirements. Working with promoters, DJs and production managers. Getting paid on time. The parts of a VJ career that nobody teaches and everybody learns expensively.
