Topic: Question for DJ Larry D........playing with videos

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I am pretty a straight forward dj, but I came across your demo and I very impressed.

How do one get into djiing with videos? If I start playing videos I can have an excuse to raise my prices.

Thanks

I am not Larry but I can tell you this

Getting into Video mixing takes "money" and patience

Money to acquire the vids....
money to setup up the perfect machine

Projector...... screens.. .etc.. depending on where u now will be playing (big bucks here) more equipment to carry around too

patience enough - time to acquire the vids (smashvidz, promo only) recommended (this is where the real expense is)
Time - to rip from dvds to files

Time to probably learn to edit......edit the vids (take out skits, replace with original audio etc) (oh the rendering....lots and lots of time)

What I am simply saying is that after you go through all this... you better make sure you get properly paid for what u are doing. So seems fair that the rate will go up exponentially (that is if your customer can afford it too)
