GET YOUR KIT OUT!!!......An idea of what we want you to do.

0:00 It's about light show

Alright folks, this is a basic video showing you what to do in the competition for Get Your Kit Out. It's about light show. It's got nothing to do with sound or audio. You won't be judged on having the best banging tracks. You won't be judged on having a loud sound or a quiet sound. But you will be judged on the quality of your light show. Having the most lights in the world. It's about having lights that look good. It's about maybe having symmetry, about using the lights, using the effects to the best of their ability. That's very important. Now if your light show is just sound to light it doesn't matter because it could be on how you set your lights out, how you make them look good. Maybe that will get you

1:25 Light show from the DJ's point

This is the winning place. Alternatively, maybe you've got a DMX controller. In that case, you can get a good light show going. What I'm going to do now, I'm going to put the lights on and I'll give you a general idea of what people are going to be looking for. Hold tight. Alright, here we go. This will give you a general idea. Now, what I'm doing now is I'm looking at the lights from the dance floor's point of view. Almost as though... I was a person on the dance floor looking at the light show. Here we go. What I'm going to do now, I'm now going to pause the camera and I'm now going to have a look at the light show from the DJ's point of view. Now bearing in mind you can do this a little bit longer. This is just an actual demonstration so when you do your video

2:17 Again, maybe do this for about a minute or so

Maybe you want to pay a little bit more attention to changing the light patterns, giving good effects. Don't have all the lights on all the time. Even if they're just sound to light and you have to switch them on and off, then do it. Just switch them on and off. What I'll do now, I'll pause the camera and I'll go and stand where the DJ would stand and we'll actually have a look at the light effect against the walls. Alright folks, also we need to see you actually with your light show. The main reason for this is to prove to us that they're your lights and you haven't just recorded them in a nightclub. So, there you go. There are the lights that I actually used. Where the DJ would be, and I'm now looking at all of the lighting effects against the wall. Again, maybe do this for about a minute or so. And at the same time

If you've got a DMX controller, then have a go at it. Maybe you may need someone to use the DMX controller for you or maybe you can do it yourself. So basically that's it. Have fun. Let's see your light show and also look at other people's light shows. You never know, you could be inspired and you never know, you may have some tips and get some tips from other people as well. Try, if you can, to put a list of all the lights you use in the description so people can actually see what you're using. Have fun. Any questions, any comments, bung them underneath this video. Practice and enjoy.
