Technical explanations

Technical explanations for the videos done for Middle East & North Africa Livestream Special

The event was streamed live with videos that were prepared beforehand.

First the DJs recorded their sets, by video, or just audio at home, in a studio, wherever they wanted. Then, the visual artists we received the video or audio of the DJ set.

Here are some steps:
– Listening to the set several time to get the feel and to get inspired.
– Creating new content that fit with the music.
– Organising the content in the VJ software, practicing the VJ set (live visuals)
– Recording the VJ set in one go, non-stop. Redoing it if there was too many mistakes.
– Editing the final video, with VJ set, the DJ set (video or just audio) and syncing with the audio. Editing also by adding some effect, blending mode, etc or fixing up some bits, etc, adding the overlay with name, logos, etc…
– Exporting
– Uploading
– Sleeping

For this type of work, it’s easily 3 days full time of work.
I’ve used footage that I’ve shot in Morocco, and made more abstract animations in after effects.

From March 2020, the covid19 pandemic, set up a major change in the events landscape, moving everything online.
You will find in the STREAMING category, a selection of visuals I’ve created. Sometimes it was live recording, sometimes live streamed, the content was prepared beforehand and sometimes, properly a real-time live streaming.
