painting live to music as visual effect: Dane Ash Designer

Kyoto local live paint performers GETT usually paint large scale canvas to live music. I caught a live show “Raw Technicaz” with a difference. No room for a canvas. They usually paint in the background behind the band or DJ. With no space they decided to mix traditional visual effect with their painting madness. A video pointing down from above a small canvas linked to a computer and visual effects rack provided an awesome visual effect for projection onto the stage. Check it out!

They used a variety of methods to get movement into the piece. Having to wipe the canvas clean and do it smoothly to match the effect seemed like a challenge.

Perhaps my biggest project yet. Friends Aaron, Rene and myself took apon ourselves to create a music and arts related site where artists and musicians have the opportunity to promote themselves for free. Its simple! Features all the best local talent in one place and provides surfer with a great guide for good entertainment and culture.

We had a big launch party to kick it all off. Some great acts turned up to help out and we managed to pay them all. Artists displayed work on the walls and the beer flowed a plenty. A fitting party after a year of hard work.
