Its like you took acid in the 60’s stood in front of the screen with the rock band on stage and traveled to the future bringing all the technology that has come out since and combined it all into your mind blowing super awesome light show. Very well done!!! I LOVE your work!!! Right on man, keep on trucking.
Thank you for everything that you do and share. It is such a delight to listen to you elaborate about that which is inherently quite rad and something you obviously love so much. Great job :) I'm just about dying to get myself playing this way!
muy buena tu forma de trabajar steve, hay todo un mundo mucho mas amplio de lo que creia, gracias por los videos ultra inspiradores, saludos desde argentina!
oh my god haha, i’m just getting started with my liquid light show artistry…. ordered and received your deluxe set & have been practicing with my overhead projector every night. trying to get the camera set up going but that’s takin some time… when i see all the stuff you have rigged up i’m like jeeeez how will i ever have the money to do this, but i know it all just takes time… i’m so new to it haha
Amazing videos! The instructional playlist and history review are such a great contribution to the tradition! You mention one in of the tutorials adding a dimmer "after the fan" in the OHP circuit. Could you provide any more detail on the mod, and what kind of dimmer you use?
Thanks! The dimmer is a 600w wall dimmer for regular house lights. Power in an OHP will split to a fan and the lamp inside it. So finding just the last wire going to the lamp is where the dimmer goes.
The camera mount can be found in my online store at LiquidLightShop.com And I will be adding turntables to the store soon! Thank you for watching my talk 🙏
Hi Steve. I'm wondering what size of a stage backdrop a classroom overhead projector can practically project on and still get good color saturation - assuming it's a dark stage the band is playing on... and thank you for your videos!
It's hard to say because projectors can vary. They're meant be up close in classrooms, but most still look good at a 10' wide image. After that get get dimmer as you get farther away... Look up something called 'throw ratio'. It's a measurement of a lens which will give you the specific answer for each projector
Hello Steve, first of all, thank you for the detailed demonstration of your setup, it inspired me to start the journey. May I ask what camera do you use for the “digital overhead projector” or what technical parameters a camera should have in order to be used in a setup like this? Thank you for all of you effort in explaining this art form! Big up!
The camera doesn't have to be fancy. Of course the more expensive ones produce a better image, but as long as the camera gets any smooth image it will work.
I,ve only just discovered your channel, When I was young used to do the same sort of thing. then VJ Software come along it was convenient, and no waters or covered with stuff. But this, is more hands on, and I,ve had forgotten just how much fun it was. It like going back to playing Albums, after using MP3s. I use to do feed back while filming old CRT screen, influence by DR who on TV. used to make 8" inch glass box with a 45 degree glass cross it. to do cross fading. I was a big Hawkwind fan. loved there gigs far better than floyd shows in the day. I think you may of got me interested in again some brill tips glad your passing your skills along. Maybe you can help me. I had this old pifco oil wheel projector. but the oil and colours between the glass dry out, so Me being me tried to split the glass and they cracked. I made new glass but never could get that oil to work like it did any Idea? cheers Man.... jimsim
@@LiquidLightLab Hi, Didn't expect such a quick reply, Yeah I know, there still a market Optikinetiks there in Luton uk. Don,t know about Roderick Wilson. But saying that, I,am like hands on. I like to know things, But hay cheers for your input. I like what your doing, and old school is still in the frame. so to speck. I used to like to chroma key film,s of gigs and use the colorcycle wheel as fill. but what has happen to color cycling I love Mark Ferrari animation for the Amiga Deluxe Paint, made some cool looking animation,s and it was just an image with color cycling. anyways keep the faith, you doing some cool stuff
Hey i found those liquid oil colors on Amazon (cause I’m poor lol) and they’re actually made for using for candles. Do you think I could use it for the projections? Not quite sure yet. An answer would help very much!!!!
Depends on the lens. Look up something called 'throw ratio" that tells you how wide an image will be with your lens. Each projector is different so you need to check the specs
Fascinating! Love it, gave me killer ideas!!!

This is blowing my mind. Info overload!
This is enchanting and educational. What an excellent artform. Thanks for sharing

So cool what you get out of all those pieces put together!
So simple, but so much that can be done!
So Real...
That is a sweet set up. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Chuck Testa, it was very informative. ❤
OMG the modified Nintendo is insane!!
Very nice!
This is so cool dude
Fantastic!!

Wish you were talking more about your camera mount and turntable.
The camera mount can be found in my online store at LiquidLightShop.com And I will be adding turntables to the store soon! Thank you for watching my talk 🙏
Excellent, thank you,

Thank you for the knowledge ! What kind of camera do you recommend to put on top of liquids ?

@@LiquidLightLab Thank you for the answer
Will you’re online store have dye again anytime soon?
Thanks!
Yup! It's all back in stock now at www.LiquidLightShop.com
Just wondering what the difference is with the Elmo ev450af and the 500?
I have 2 450's atm.
Phenomenal vid also dude!
I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever seen a 500. Only the AFs..I know the 400 is almost the same but with less zoom power.
@@LiquidLightLab Cheers Steve! I couldn't tell any difference, but the zoom being slightly less makes sense.
Amazing old little pieces of kit.

Not sure how to fix it, but there are still lots of Optikinetiks sealed wheels around, and also some new ones made by Roderick Wilson

In his other videos, he does specify that he uses candle dye as a component of his effects. I'd say you're good to go!
Hi, Do you know how big I can project with an OH projector?
Depends on the lens. Look up something called 'throw ratio" that tells you how wide an image will be with your lens. Each projector is different so you need to check the specs
