you can read about below. Please join our extended creative community.

Agenda items below.

VIDEO RIOT! THANK YOU!!!
Last month's video riot was a success that exceeded everyones
expectations, especially ours. Jon and Grant want to thank everyone who
contributed time, gear and art. It couldn't have happened without you.

We also want to shout out a quick "word" to Gregory and Will from
Blasthaus for promoting the VIDEO RIOT! as part of the TransCinema
festival, and for all the other great events that week.

And a very special thanks to those who made the commitment to come to
the Sunday planners meeting, to spend long hours working at the studio,
or to head up a posse. Its hard to imagine an event of that scale going
so smoothly without a lot of dedicated people taking ownership of
critical tasks, and your help is truly appreciated.

The feedback we got was tremendous, now we just have to figure out what
to do next...stay tuned.

GEAR AT VIDEO SALON
Video Salon is a community effort. In that spirit, we've put a lot of
effort resources into making it work. Michael (D7), Grant, Evan, and Jon
have been gracious enough to allow us to use the space and all our
equipment for the last 2 years, but we need your help:

1 We need help setting up, breaking down, and cleaning up after the
event, and more importantly, learning how to set up and tear down.

2 To ease the pressure of wear and tear on D7's equipment, we need
people to to start bringing video mixers and playback devices. SVHS
decks are especially useful if you want to play from them.

3 D7 will continue to provide the space, projectors, preview monitors
and all the cabling to enable this monthly evening of open mixing for
the VJ community.

Please email Jon (jsc-@yahoo.com) or Grant (gra-@Dimension7.com) for
more info.

new episode

(2) <<<<<< VJ Software demo >>>>>>>9:30pm

Peter Nyboer's OAKLAND is an ambitious realtime video mixing framework
that uses a modular format. There are currently three types of modules:
Sources, Effects, and Outputs. Sources include items like MOVs, live
cameras or image generators. Effects process incoming sources. Outputs
can be routed to additional monitors, FireWire video, or directly to a
file. Modules are controllable via MIDI, lfo's, or audio. Since it is
based on Max/Jitter, there are plans for releasing the templates so that
any user's video process can be easily integrated into Oakland as a
module.

Come and see Peter demo the latest version.
