Did I miss anything? What other shows should we break down?
100% the chemical brothers.
GREAT suggestion. That show is a masterclass
How about Tool?
Nice! Love them
i would love to see a video of a breakdown and you recreating it in your original stye.
I also like the story behind the visuals, like the phone that takes a video of the crowd
Agreed, there are some great story / commentary moments and sequences in this show. Great point!
The other day I was playing a gig with a projector which was far too far away from the target, so I had to project huge black borders to keep the image on the screen.
But during the show I got bored with that and opened up the borders to let the visuals spill out on to the walls.
I was way up on a balcony but I think that people cheered.
I'm claiming as a win.
That’s breaking the border for real. Nice!
My favourite DJ and visual/lighting designers! I've seen these recordings of HOLO thousands of times looking for inspiration for my own VJ work. Thanks for the video!
It is soooo good! Thanks for checking out the video
I've reacently gotten into using resolume to creat visuals for my own start up music event. you are by far the best at explaining concepts, tutorials and setu up break downs. I greatly appreciate the work you do and unpatiently loo forward to your next video.
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. Putting these out as fast as I can lol it’s hard work and youtube is very much a side hobby right now lol lots on the list though!
That's the content we all need! More of these, please. Whenever I play a vid by Sean, I first start with suspending my disbelief ))
Haha Appreciate it Steve! Rewatched the end of the interview with Joris when I was making the cutdown clip a couple weeks ago, and tried to take his advice to heart. Advanced output is cool, but design, technique, approach, and philosophy are cooler. I think we’ve spoken about similar things as well. Exploring ways to share that information
@@SeanBowes btw cutting those interviews into short clips is so important, as well. We goldfish )) And I saw some AI tools that can simplify that workflow and find coherent parts within an interview. And yes, tutorials shouldn't be only on how but also on why ;) Love watching you evolve, Sean, very inspiring.
I was really really looking for someone who explained the real life "visual" or "design" principles behind this visuals and no surprise, you showed up with this awesome analysis.
As a beginner I learned how to map resolume from you and nowadays I´m still learning incredible stuff in every video haha, Thank you Sean!
This is my first time dropping a comment, sory for my bad english, greetings from Argentina.
Thanks for your kind comment! I’m glad you enjoyed this video and thanks for watching my stuff over the years! That means a lot to me. Thanks Augustin
thanks for these videos sean, im an aspiring vj so i appreciate all the info you put out!
Glad you like them! Thanks for checking them out and good luck out there 🤘
Really awesome breakdown of these visual effects. Definitely gets the gears turning. Love that sloshing particle effect!
Thanks Jim! I feel the same way. Great way to find some inspiration
Sensei Bowes speaks so we can listen and learn
And it’s not another Advanced Output Tutorial ✅
excellent video and really loved the context and your analytics. looking fwd for more gigs like this to happen so that you can break them down to us
Thank you Zunayed! I enjoyed making it, I’m glad you enjoyed it too.
Awesome breakdown Sean, keep doing these. Shout out to the production team behind these visuals too, they did a fantastic job.
For sure! I probably should shout them out or credit them better in the future
That would be dope Christian
Excellent breakdown! Really interesting to think through the various approaches.
Thanks man! It was a fun one to make. glad people are finding it interesting
finally! i was wondering about his setup and this explanation helped a lot
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Amazing! Thank you, Sean! You’re doing great
Thanks!
This will help with an upcoming project! Thanks King Sean
Hell yeah. Stoked to see what you’re making dude
Great breakdown video! I enjoy your channel.
Thanks Ryan! Appreciate you
Amazing stuff Sean!❤
Thanks Lance!
Having a million dollar wind breaking led screen helps 😂
Yes the blowthrough LED is a major piece, but designing for it is what makes it great. Just any random content wouldn't hit the same just because its on this screen. And you could achieve similar visual effects on other screens too
@@SeanBowes another awesome video! Liam Tomaszewski does a great job on the visuals
Yes he is a legend. Would love to get him on the interview series sometime
@@SeanBowes I think the one video I have on this RUclips account is a prototype hologram display, I'm building a 4 meter tall 3D with no glasses lightfield led wall for holographic VJ shows, it's pretty fun mixing visuals on a real hologram display
that sounds awesome. post more videos about that, thats super cool!
Excellent breakdown man! One other thing I think of is focal length. Using a wider lens can make something feel far away so when it pushes up close to the camera it feels more 'in your face'.
Thanks Ryan! Yeah a wide angle lens really exaggerates depth. Great tip!
amazing stuff man! keep on more videos !
Thanks for watching!
great breakdown! Thanks Sean
Glad you like it! Thanks for checking it out
Another Good Job Sean!
Thank you Felipe
Amazing video, i'm so excited to learn how to achieve these kind of results, thanks for this helpful breackdown +1sub
Thanks Bill! Glad you enjoyed this one, and thanks for joining us!
Awesome explanation, thanks! Makes it seem a little more attainable...
For sure! Glad you enjoyed it. Breaking things down into their components and principles is so powerful.
Thank you for explaining 🔥
Thank you for watching 🙏
Could u make a video of lightning and dmx, like how to start.
I want to put a smoke dmx machine, laser machine and strobe inside my room for practicing, i would love a video for the best queality/price way to start, like dmx to usb interface etc.
Love your content!
Maybe someday, but I dont really do lighting or sfx. Check out Christian Jackson for some lighting / dmx info or try to find some lighting and laser / sfx operators channels
Thanks, nice and clear
Appreciate ya!
excellent thank you sean
Thanks!
Gran video, saludos desde México
Gracias hermano!
Thanks Sean, this type of content is exactly what I need right now. I'm just starting out and have no background in art or design (I'm an IT tech). Your explanations of why these effects work is really helpful to me.
I'd love to see more content like this but not just for high budget shows. I'll be playing underground (free) parties. I'd be really interested to know what you think works best in smaller venues where people are there primarily to dance and engage with eachother rather than watch a show?
Thats awesome Dave, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Trying to communicate design principles in a fun way thats relevent for our industry, so glad its translating! Thats a great suggestion. Some principles apply across different types of shows, but intimate shows definitely have their own vibe, as do different styles of music. I'll have a think about it, and go ahead and try observing successful small shows to see what stands out to you as well. Off the top of my head I'd say to not be too bright, flashy, or fast if you dont want to steal too much attention. Sometimes it helps to think of your screen as a light fixture, or a physical sign or sculpture, to brainstorm more subdued effects. Video can do anything, but a physical sign might just portray an artists logo and only have some lighting on it that changes to the beat. That could be a nice effect thats much less distracting than a strobing rainbow glitch
@@SeanBowes Wow, thanks for the fast and thoughtful reply. You are right about not wanting to steal too much attention and I will keep that in mind. I like the idea of thinking of it as part of the lighting. But since this is a techno party and we already have lasers, smoke etc. I can probably afford to go a bit bright and psychedelic. Will try not to overdo it though!
Have just been to the venue and we have set up two 1080 panels in a 1x2 matrix directly above the DJ area between the two main speaker stacks. Everything seems to be working ok so fingers crossed for tomorrow night 🤞
Yes!! An obsoletely a great video! I love all those techniques. The shows I do are so low budget but there are a couple of techniques I think I can try. I have a gig next weekend but only 12 panels. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!😀
That’s the spirit! Thanks LJ
need more breakdowns like this. is there any way you could explain how they sync the visual effects to the music that’s happening? like for the ‘Repetition’ section ( 6:50 ) i can see how you could model the grid pattern in 3D and illuminate it with lighting, but how in the world do they do all that light flashing stuff to the music??
Either just animating to a standard bpm like 120 (2 flashes per second) and then speeding it up to match the bpm of the music, or they actually animate along to the music and keyframe a light flashing on specific beats. It can be tedious but music is quite repetitive by nature so its not that bad. Do some math and copy paste some stuff and youre good lol. They might also use plugins like Signal which use LFOs to animate which is great for rhythmic stuff like this.
You forgot to mention the cost, this is at least a $100k +, I am trying to set up my own LED screen set and right now my cost is $900 for a short throw projector,and that gives me a 10ft x 6 ft screen for my dj set. But man I would die to have this set up, kool stuff !!!!
A big ass expensive screen helps, but design is free and can work anywhere. Try some of these techniques out anyway and see what happens. Some of the first layered screen setups were done with projection, using a rear projected back screen and a hologauze scrim front screen.
I thought he was using the 3d screens you can get. Ie the one that looks like a fan. Spins around? Is this not the case?
Nope! Just the Blow-through LED in front
Too bad in some shows the physical light of the diver on screen is out of position. In this video it is also to far above his head. When I saw it at Tomorrowland it was correct right on top of his head.
Yes I imagine this is a difficult production to execute at festivals. The variablility in rigs and space can really have a large effect on things like this.
G jones, Rezz, tale of us, Madeon
Yes yes yes yes
but the question is how it looks like in person. on screens, many things look like 3d but in person, your eyes can see that it is not
I think they achieved it pretty well with this one. Great control of ambient light and brightness levels in the content are key to keeping the illusion in tact as much as possible
🆒️ ✌️
