Hi Danilo,

The software part is all done at home, After Effects and various 
plug-ins(many of which I wrote for my day job) are the main software 
component, with Media 100 for an NLE and PhotoShop for editing stills.

I use these tools to make an ever-increasing pile of tapes to take to 
gigs. To the gig itself, I bring a WJ-MX30 video mixer, 4 S VHS 
decks, 40- 50 tapes, and a couple of cheap switchers to send the 4 
decks to the mixer's w inputs. I also set up a feedback loop in the 
mixer.

I haven't opted for the live computer solutions, as the ones that are 
really interactive can't do high enough quality for my taste.

You can see some older samples of my imagery at my web site.
