At a Bournemouth nightclub

I fancied going to a nine-hour trance event at a Bournemouth nightclub and bought a ticket online from the promoters. They must have looked up my name, as shortly after I booked they emailed to say that my retro visuals would be ideal for their all-vinyl retro event!

The venue has red brick walls, so I used two of my large Sanyo projectors fitted with long throw lenses to keep image size small enough to give good brightness. As often, I rigged infrared lights and cameras to give independence from the lasers and varying LED lighting. Worked fine except when the lighting guy broke his promise and used the tungsten PAR can backlights on the DJ!

That is a marathon of a gig for you, never mind your projectors. Your IR camera works pretty well too. Kudos for your stamina.

Many thanks Magic and Sadler. :D

A marathon indeed, and just as I thought I'd reached the finish line at midnight I was asked if I could do a further half hour as it was all going so well!

I thought I might run out of material but I had years of projects to choose from, 32- and 64-bit, and mixed/crossfaded outputs from two instances of Magic which gave a lot of visual variety.
