For those who attended, or missed out I’ve finished off a more extensive version of talk I hosted. While not a master piece of the english language it will give people a good base to google on.
PDF 250k | Introduction to VJing
Thanks to all that came along to this years Intersect VJ fest. It was an overall success and it was especially good to see a whole lot of new faces.
I had said I would be putting the notes from my speech but due to a passing in the family I have been away, it should be all typed up and ledgable in the next couple of days – please do check back either here or via MICs site – www.mic.org.nz.
We’ll definitely be putting on the event again and hope to make it bigger still – if people have some feedback please don’t hesitate email me.
