Currently there are many filmmakers who "perform", to one extent or another, their works live, in forms ranging from performance/theater incorporating film (Miranda July probably being the most generally known) to VJs and related laptop-virtuosos to multi-projector performance using actual film. And so much interesting stuff in between. IT's kind of hard to point to resources about performance cinema generally because there are so many types, and they each have their own independent culture, dialog, community, etc. As for software programs allowing one to mix and edit live, there are oodles of them, but as the VJ market drives them they often have infuriating limitations (along with amazing possibilities) - for example, I use modul8 quite a bit, chosen primarily for image quality and speed, but in order to get a clip to play once and then stop not on a freeze frame but end on black I have to either make a special version of it with a black frame at the end or be very quick with a fader or button on a midi controller. And no timecode-accurate markers, blah blah blah... but this type of software is getting better by the minute. VDMX5 is currently in public beta and looks VERY promising: www.vidvox.net Brook _______________________________________________________ Brook Hinton film/video/audio art www.brookhinton.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] --------------------------------- Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.
