Orginal content

I wonder how many VJ's out there are using ONLY their own material for sets.

And the stuff that is used from other people (TV clips, DVD, internet, screensaver, whatever) how much is in the public domain and allowed to played freely and how much is 'stolen' (Films, stuff without permission, etc)

Me: Original (my own) stuff or all free in the public domain or have express permission to play the stuff as a public performance.

This has came up countless times b4, on eyecandy and elsewhere on these video forums....
Personally I really don't think it matters were it comes from, just that the quality of the clip is good, and more importantly, how well it is played with the music, is what matters to me...

I know it goes off all the time I just wondered how many actual purists there are out there. Some ppl might use dowload content that might not be noticed but would draw the line at say hollywood films.

Just with the thread about music videos and stuff I just wondered how many ppl could lieterally record 5 minutes of the set (in theory) for a music video.

Oh that advert site eye candy is not vjforums.

Edit: So how much of your content is your own vjpixy?

Does the same go for music producers who sample? Djs who cut up old breaks etc? What about Marcel Duchamp? Or the pop artists? I think there is difference between ripping of an hours worth of film and using 30 seconds for a loop.

Hey brother J-
I can honestly say that I put in as many, if not more hours, in a day as any on this forum making and manipulating footage into art...If you think of that as thievery, you don't have to like it, and you are entitled to yer opinion, so you don't have to support it..
Just remember that I'm.....
"Free to do any ole thing, any ole thing that I want." holy shit!!! I just stole that song phrase, and it is now public...<ole boy I really did it now...ehhhheheh>


Chances are if you want good hi-rez video that is different enuf from the average VJ, you wont be able do any of what you accusse me of anyhow, and if you spend time with purely your own DIY creations, then I would say ole chap...that it might endup becoming a bit dry by the end of the nite..........Hmmm I guess I am a little more radical, than a play it by the rules or you die kinda guy>>>

100% own made sometimes sampling :it's the best way and legit sure cyber uses alot of manga though when he started out(!) but now he's also making his own. trick: start out sampling , get paid get books make your own stuff it feels alot better when your doing your "magic" on the mx/laptop

peace and progress

ps: from the knowledge gained from making your own footage you can expand..commercials ,music video's whatever LEARN USE GET PAID

The funnny thing about this thread is the first two people (maybe the only 2) that posted with there 100% real content supported are the first two I thought off.

I haven't seen any of Primebases work / noticed any comments on this issue but I guessed from his style of posts that he was 100% orginal.

I know *****'s view.

Also VJ Kriel from the high profile work and his arty stance he does I imagine he is 100% original too.

Primebase's view of it is fine to start with is more fine/realistic to me. Starting out cool use you anything out there (I may not like it but I understand the scorem but they will be doing smaller gigs - in theory)

If you are doing massive gigs I honestly would be careful but that is for the copyright thread.

I wasn't trying to make this thread elitist, x is more professional then because y etc.

Maybe I was just wondering where people that frequent VJ forums were 'at'. MAybe also thinking what to do with my own 'content' that is freely available and how people view others content and how/what they do with it.

Also how would others feel if their own content was used by others esp if it was a gig you could have got/wanted!!?

ANswers on a postcard please.

I used to be ok everyone could use my stuff but I'm starting to think differently.

It is perfectly fine with me to remix others work, and I welcome anyone, even DR. J to remix mine...Nuff said...

[Rovastar]

Do you make anything at all of your own or just take others work?

Do you mix or do you just play a video tape/DVD of others work. Press play on a Accidtive Tv transambient CD or spoomething maybe a copied DVD of it.

I really hope you make it big so the orginal authors can sue and for all you have got. OR maybe someone could steal a gigs from you by play a tape of all your stuff.

You give visuals in clubs a bad name.
