Avit Au

[MoRpH]

OK I know a lot of aussie VJs have been hanging out waiting for something to be announced, well I don't want to get ppl's hopes to high but Spook, Jim Medcraft and I met the other night to toss the ball around on an AVIT AU for late this year (maybe november) we came up with some good ideas re: venue, funding, sponsorship, activities, etc..... it was quite a productive meeting and we have all made agendas to follow up and plan to meet again in a month.

So although we can't announce an OFFICIAL date, the ball is DEFINATELY rolling on an AVIT AU :nod: :jump: :jump2:

BTW please post below if your interested in helping out or want to give any feedback on the ideas, I'll keep this thread updated :)

Also it was mentioned to me when I first suggested an AVIT for australia that the AVITUK ppl had some material/help/suggestions they woould be willing to give/loan us to kick start the process..... who would one talk to about this?

WooHooo i will be based in melbourne as of July this year which means i would be much more likely to be able to make it to an east coast AVIT Au!

Hi Morph .. as you can probably understand we are a bit hectic right now with avituk justa c ouple of weeks away but i'll make sure toby (spark) has seen this and hopefully he'll find the time to get stuff to you ..
hopefully your funders are fairly similar to ours and our funding documents will help you..

If AVIT AU happens, what city? I have some funding contacts in Melbourne. As well a DJ friend will visit for a few months this fall in Brisbane I think and I'd like to hook her up with AVIT - she spins downtempo.

You should have it in Perth - those West Australians are always cuttin edge.... oh wait, maybe not.

I think melbourne or Sydney are the only realistic options for an AVIT Au.

Or maybe if we get a few NZ vj's we could have a southern hemisphere AVIT?

I know some ppl who do a bit of wrok for roland/edirol here so i will have to pursue them as possible industry supporters, when we have a bit more concrete information.


Oh - and West Aussies are getting very cutting edge vj-wise in the last 2 years, it's so damn far away from everything else :)
