Club Pony - Bloggers Delight, Casper C and Jokerz on the Scene

This year's Club Pony X-Mas Party was BIG! We had our little booth on stage right next to the DJs, and the vibe on stage was really great. Exploring the theme of Christmas and consumerism, most of our visuals were based around cheap dancing santas, of which there seem to be infinite varieties. Many varying in realm of taste from tacky to strangely erotic: 

Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of our set. So the above one is what we were previewing in the office, before the night. It is a speed up video taken from the driver's perspective on the Dubai underground. 

Will definitely use again

Bigger Than Barry

I love doing the visuals for Barry, there are huge drops and tons of wobble. So it means that almost anything we try and do, seems oddly placed next to it. But play enough images of pretty girls dancing juxtaposed to health charts of fat men and most people get the idea. 

Rough Disko

Rough Disko is one of the first nights we ever did. And it's a really fun night to do  because everyones is so focused. They are there for the music, and that is it. No one is bothered about dressing up or looking cool...  or, hiking boots and rain-wear are the latest in Future Garage and Techno garb. Love it. This night was cool too because one of the projectors was playing a dvd we made a month before on loop, next to another projector on which we did live visuals. And, the only place to project was the ceiling, which had the double effect of making skewed images, and lighting up the room like an eighties disco in Vegas, er sumthin'.

Krrooked - Hostage

Alasdair does the visuals, while I weep in the corner.
Mugshots take the stage, in front of some very sexy Mugshots.
November's Krooked saw Hostage take the stage with a HUGE set. His name, and a lack of seasonal topical relevance, meant we were a bit challenged coming up with tasteful graphic references to this. Some mug shots of chic seventies terrorist group, the Baader-Meinhoff Red Army Faction sort of did the trick.

Club Pony - Surkin

This was the first 'proper' visual show, i.e. live set up, we did for Club Pony. Surkin was the headline act. The flyers for the night were based on a Tron theme. So, it was natural that the visuals for the evening followed a sci-fi thread, with a slight eighties tinge. BUT, that didn't mean they all had to be sci-fi from the eighties either. Instead we used this great retro dancing clip from German Star Trek equivalent, Raumpatrol.
