OT: VJ Programs, tested... by me!!

[mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com>]

Quite often it occurs on LD that there is a post about creating live visuals to our music. I have always been interested in this, and have always tried to have a visual element to what I do. Recently I have become involved in a new art/music project, basically a looping band, with sensors and dancers and guest speakers and what-not... where we intend on creating a visual element Live as well. I do not want to use pr-made video loops, and although having a permanent visual member on the band is an exiting option, we are not investigating that just yet. 

To that end, I spent this weekend doing a bit of research on VJ programs, and thought Id post my initail finding in my website... HERE!

Bare in mind the caveats, Im looking for very specific functionality, but I think that my reviews were really all about overall impressions rather than detailed analysis.
Hope some of you find it useful... its been quite an eye-opener for me, I'm even considering making something related, an MA degree project.
