Numark NV Video DJ Add the Public in to Your VJ Set

0:01 This is important because you don't want to be doing this yourself

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, this video is a little bit random. Then again, most of my videos are very random. OK, we have the Newmark Envy, I have VirtualDJ 8, we have the B-52's Love Shack, and there's a little bit of a video of me. So, what I want you to do first of all is, let me just move the camera, is imagine, OK, that you're at an event and you have someone to help you. This is important because you don't want to be doing this yourself. So, the person that's helping you has a camera, they go around members of the public and they ask them to do, let's say for example... the YMCA moves, or the Macarena moves. You don't have to have the music, they have to have some form of good timing, they don't have to sing, all they have to do is the moves.

1:25 There's many reasons, but one of them is because of the hook

They can sing along if they want to, all we really need to see is the moves, or let's say for example, they could be mouthing the wording, or even singing the wording. Again, the audio isn't that important. What you can do then, is you can take those videos, put them on your laptop and mix them into the originals. So, you're probably thinking, God, there's a lot of work involved here, do I really want to do something like that?

But, the public, the people going to your event will remember something like this. It's a little bit like the analogy I'll give you, is why do a lot of, and I don't really want to delve into it too deeply, but why do a lot of tracks get so high up in the charts? Well there's many reasons, but one of them is because of the hook. It's that important part in the track that you remember. So, people will remember this. They will remember you, because they'll say, oh, I remember going to that gig and the DJ did something really wacky, I've never seen it before in my life. Here we go. And they actually got Bill and Dorothy in with the video, and they happened to be singing along with the video while the video was playing.

2:30 You never know, people could love it

So, I'll show you. Check this out.

Alright, now admittedly what I was doing there is I had the audio of the track in the background and I was sort of miming to it. So you have got a little bit of the audio but what you could do is turn the audio off on the one track where you've got the video so you just mix in the video. It's not a random video that I'm doing now, but I'd like you to take this on board, have a think about it and expand on it and take it into your show. You never know, people could love it. Practice and enjoy, thank you. Hmm.
