It will be a girlie party !

Copyright Mony ArtFor the 1st of October, Bon Esprit is preparing a new event at the code 21 in Amsterdam called “Cat fight”.

Let’s give power to 7 female Djs who will play on the 2 floors all night long… and guess what !? I’ll be the man of the evening ! I’ll have to entertain these ladies with my videos thanks to a special partnership with Mony Art for the visuals.

Mony Art is an artist who work on Photo Editing in Amsterdam. You can find more about her work on her website. We’ll be working together on the theme Cat Fight in order to personalize the event and make it even more fun !

The picture of this article has been taken during the event “La Fashionista Revolution” at the Code 21 in June and edited by Mony, I like to call it Live Make up as the Vj set is coloring the beautiful face of this woman ( Copyright – Mony Art.)

 Well, for now the “cats” seem to be ready more than ever to make a great show so bring it on girls !

Should wii try the Vj set ?

First of all this title announces the great event we are preparing for this Saturday at the MiniBar Amsterdam : “Shwee” ( abbreviation of Should we ) with a special Line up as the HeyKids from Katapult are also receiving other talented guests like Young Marco and Fiiix.

Then the French Manager of the MiniBar will celebrate his 1st anniversary there the same day so we decided to release the remoted Vj set earlier than expected and I will come with a Wii-mote on Saturday in order to remote control the Vj software ! Can you imagine me for example using the left hand to touch the screen and select the video to play, and the right hand to shake or rotate the video with the Wii-mote at the same time ? this of course added to other effects synchronised live with the music coming from the Djs devices… I can assure you that it’s a very nice experience !

Believe me, wii definitely should be at the MiniBar this Saturday and I hope the public will enjoy the show !


Let it go !

It’s been a bit more than 1 year since I directed the music video ” Let it go ” for The Crowns, a Dutch band from Amsterdam. They should release soon their 1st album and the videoclip will have a second chance to get more success. I have to admit that 300 000 views is already a nice score but I really think it can reach a greater amount !

Because there was no budget for the video, 1 day only was allowed to shoot all the videos with the musicians and the lady. I shot each musician 1 by 1 in front of the green screen with different point of views with only 1 single video camera.

Also, as we couldn’t afford a studio we shot all the scenes at one of  the band member’s apartment in Amsterdam. Well, his apartment was big enough anyway so it was not a big issue !

Take some time to watch Let it go and share it I you like it ! Your comments are indeed more than welcome.


Rendez-vous with Cleo & Vance

August will be a great month as not only Cleo & Vance but also the Heykids are going to play again at the MiniBar. I’m glad to be there as a guest and I will enjoy for sure to play with them !

This Saturday 14th, Cleo & Vance are back in the game for their new event called La Boum @ MiniBar

Looks like they enjoyed the place few weeks ago and they wanted to come back as soon as possible ! Will I be there with my Vj set ? let’s wait and see… it’s going to be a surprise !

Last week @ code 21 “la Fashionista Revolution” by the Bon Esprit crew was a big event and the Vj set had a lot of success, also it was the same day as the Gay Parade in Amsterdam so the place was completely full for a moment. On the other hand, it was so dark that I was not able to use the MiniCamera and I had to handle all night animating the videos but it was a nice challenge and I think I did pretty well so I’m happy with that.

I am also planning to work on short movies as I’ve been contacted by a french director in order to assist him with visual effects. More info to come soon, stay tuned !


Let’s party until the sun comes up !

On Saturday July 31st , Bon Esprit and Ficha will be celebrating the opening of a new trendy hair salon called SIMA’s and it will take place at the MiniBar Amsterdam.

The Touchscreen and the Mini Camera will be at the Rendez-vous in order to entertain you all night long… until the sun comes up !

I always feel like a kid when it comes to project my videos on the huge black wall of the MiniBar. Their 4 Beamers allow me to play even more on visual effects, giving sometimes the impression of a single animated picture of 10 meters long ! Sometimes we even perform 8 hours in a row with the Djs because they are having so much fun that they don’t want to end their set ! It is such a pleasure to be next to these guys when they are having the longest set of their career for most of them.

Regarding my website I should soon add a Photo Gallery so that people who can’t afford to come in Amsterdam can have an overview of the events. You can already find some of them on my Facebook fan page or on Myspace but a proper gallery would be more appropriate for the site.

Also I want to thank all of you who participate with your comments and, I really appreciate your feedback  ! This helps me to keep on improving my set and finding always new interesting technologies to add to it. Next step will probably be live remote control but I will tell you more about this later on.

Stay tuned and keep on sending me your comments and sharing my articles on your blogs !


La FaShIoNiStA ReVoLuTiOn

The “Bon Esprit” crew is preparing another big event at the Code 21 in Reguliersdwarsstraat on the First Friday of August.

I already inaugurated the new beemers installation of the Code 21 few weeks ago to celebrate the Music as french people do every year when comes the summer.

Seems like the crew and the owner of the place enjoyed the event and I will be part of show for the next party called La FaShIoNiStA ReVoLuTiOn !

2 Dancefloors, 2 SoundSystems, 2 beemers ! Dress code will be French Fashion.

Maxibar @ Minibar with Cleo & Vance – July 24th 2010

This Saturday, Cleo & Vance from the Undercover crew will take over Minibar to turn it into: Maxibar !

Only 2 weeks after the HeyKids performance I will have to give the best of myself to make you enjoy even more this party !

Also I don’t forget that the Vj set is still something new for a lot of people and I am so happy to be able to make them discover that kind of technologies. The touchscreen and the Mini Camera really have a lot of success.

Let’s see if the Djs enjoy playing at the MiniBar with my video set as much as the previous Djs did !

Oops… I did it again !

It sounds usual now but once again it was a great party last Saturday at the MiniBar Amsterdam and the HeyKids made the show as promised ! Until 6 in the morning they made the people dance and I enjoyed so much to animate the videos for them.

The more I meet and work with local Djs , the more I enjoy it ! also their feedback and the feedback from the customers confirm that the Live video brings another dimension to the show.

Of course the MiniBar has the perfect installation for the video projection with the long black wall and it kind of became my new playground… manipulating  this wall to make it alive and synchronized with the music is a wonderful entertainment !

Next Vj set at the MiniBar will be on Saturday 24th for another new event with this time the Undercover crew as Djs. New Parties can be anounced at any time so stay tuned !


The HeyKids @ MiniBar this Saturday

They will be part of the show tonight at the Studio 80 to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the place and will be playing also this Saturday at the MiniBar for a new Rendez-vous called “Swhee”.

Thanks to the succes last week end for “Chez Pierre’s Special Edition” you will see me performing with them at the MiniBar Amsterdam this Saturday July 10th. The more I play with new Djs, the more I improve my set, and these guys know how to make the show !

Let’s get ready for the event and make them enjoy the Live perfomance with the VJ set.
