Something clearly narrative

[tirengarfio]

Hi!

any example (link to the video i mean..) of narrative vjing or something nearby?

I know you can suggest a story with only an image :) but... im looking for something clearly narrative... :)

If you can get anyone to pay attention for anyone to stick to some narrative in VJing all throughout your narrative performance.. good luck to you. Maybe you should be a documentary maker or a film director then.

Narrative in VJing doesn't really work in my opinion for large part. You just as well can pre-select themes that overall will deliver similar message or messages but narrative of some story (unless formally known) won't really work.

A sizeble chunk of the narrative lab AV set which he perfomed at AVit C23 is in the last third of his showreel (use vdmo's link above); it is the section titled "RBN ESC".

really there's a lot out there that i think have been quite successful [ in telling stories that is]. Myself and Lara on the forums here run the narrative lab project [nlab.org.uk] from London which has seen performances such as the Storycollector and more recently Autometa (http://www.labmeta.net/wordpress2/?p=202) released. Sparks RBN_ESC is a great example too but also look out for anything by Solu, APB by the Light Surgeons, Visual Kitchen, Falk, Zanne, Rafael and tons of others.

Club VJing isn't like a cinema, only a proportion of the people will be looking at the screens at any one time and there is no scope for audio (AV notwithstanding) so anything more complicated than a string of narrative imagery conveying a theme or idea will be a challenge to pull off. Not that it should stop you trying - the key is progression.

Here's a couple of live mixes:

YouTube - Metricpizza "The Drill" AV Rescore

YouTube - Metricpizza "Sugar" Rescore

Both use a very closely related set of clips to establish a theme and progression, and in the case of the second one a punchline ending.

I "VJ" for various types of events that don't necessarily fit a club description.
I've done very narrative sets to drone and ambient sets. Which is not to say you can't, or I haven't tried something narrative in a club context... but there are lots of places people vj besides a club.

I agree in some part.
narratives in VJing will be in much more different ways to show than past narrative genres have done. (maybe we can use some montage theory of S. Eisenstein?). i feel quite doubt with Vjing ways now are reasonable to tell a story?! but, as a possibility, i agree for future. VJing has still lots of future ways to mix & deform itself.
