JANUARY 15 | MT SMART STADIUM

Another year, another Big Day Out. An interesting mix of old and new. TV on the Radio should be awesome.
Expect a big camera mix in the Boiler Room this year with lotech mixing till 5.30 then Ariki Spooner is taking over the cut through the evening.  VJ groupies stress not though, there will be special apperances from the likes of DurtyMac, music video extroidanaire Chris White and the master of cardboard puppetry Kim Newall thoughout the day.

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.

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.
