Hello all, I'm part of a group that uses video projections in conjunction with dark ambient music. With video projectors, we've shown bits of Soviet propoganda films and a section of "Begotten" (we want to make our own images eventually -- something about copyright?). We don't own a video projector (cost prohibitive is right!), but were able to use one at CalArts and at USC. At Cal Arts we were able to project over us and onto the wall, so our shadows were part of the video image. I do own an old 16mm projector and we tried using that on one show, but the bulb exploded after much ominous smoking. The idea there was to use blurry and slow images of a circus rehersal. When the film ran out, we'd run it backwards. No concerns about syncing the material. It's there to be part of the mood. Musically, its guitar, bass, drum machine and some vocals and some live drums -- two people. I do a lot of looping on guitar to build up textures and keep loops of certain motifs in the mix. Very downbeat, shoegazey, minimalist stuff.
