0:09 DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor

DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. You know, it makes it look tidy. It makes it look professional. We've got cam speakers. That always happens. It always goes blurred when one of the lights whacks it. We've got the LED X-moves and I'm really tidied up behind here at the moment yet. We've got a fusion bar there and the tri-phase as well. So not many lights because I want to emphasise the video as opposed to loads of lights. And I've got the Cam Vortex 15s, which I do like actually. They whack it out. There we go. Pause this. Right, here we go. We're in Park Lodge Aberystwyth and we're in the marquee that's outside the hotel. Normally they have this all the way through the summer but I think they're probably going to keep it indefinitely now. We've got a function on tonight for some students and they've requested the video so we'll be doing most of that.

2:35 A couple of people have arrived

So DJ skirts there, and I mean, come on, you've got to be honest, that looks pretty good. It looks fantastic in my eyes in a white marquee. Brilliant. You know, it makes it look tidy, it makes it look professional. We've got cam speakers. That always happens, it always goes blurred when one of the lights whacks it. We've got the LED X-moves, and I'm really tidied up behind here at the moment yet. We've got a fusion bar there, and the tri-fades. So, not many lights because I want to emphasise the video as opposed to loads of lights. And I've got the Cam Vortex 15s which I do like actually. They whack it out. There we go. Pause this. Okay, there you go. It's all set up. A couple of people have arrived. They're having a buffet this evening and it's Black Tie event so I've got a shirt on.

4:38 Now what the lights look from

DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor Donkey skirts, or it's going to be DJ because it's bloody DJ stuff, isn't it? Right, there you go then. Easy tiger. Blurry. Right, a bit of a tip for you. When you're in a marquee, can you see that light there? Now all the lights at the moment, from my perspective, they're facing into the crowd and they look pretty good. But what I'm going to do now is I'm not going to stop the camera. I'm going to walk over to the back of the room. And I'm going to show you now what the lights look from the crowd's perspective. Now, what I'm trying to prove here is the way the lights are shining on the other side so it's difficult to see them. So just an idea if you can, put some lights from this direction facing that way so of course you can see them from all angles and people will be able to see the lights from all angles. Hope you get where I'm coming from there.

Well there you go, I'm back home now, shattered. Never done this part of the evening though, but this is the chill out time. This is when you've got all your kit out of the house, in the vehicle, out of the vehicle, into the venue, set up, dismantled, and back into the vehicle, back home, and out of the vehicle, back into the house. And if you're anything like me, when you come home, you're buzzing. So, you know... You can't really get a sleep straight away, so I'm going to settle for Cheerios. Finish off some of those crackers. And an onion. Just kidding about the onion. And I'm going to have some win-a-lot dog food. Just kidding about the onion, really. Anyway, goodnight tonight. Don't forget, like I said, when you're in a marquee, just remember when the light's going that way, it's hitting this side.

Thanks for watching, see you next time.
