Happy New Year!

We hope that you had a good one? Well with the busiest January and February in History, we have decided that it is time to catch up and get back to the edits of all of the Christmas Parties and events.

We have decided to make the switch from Final Cut Pro to Final Cut X. Now I know that has been a lot of talk about the new Final Cut platform but so far so good. Searching the web for some tutorials for mastering those late night edits, we have stumbled across a whole community on Izzy Video

It's brilliant and really good viewing!!!! Subscribe now it's free for all of the Final Cut Pro X Tutorials and they are all really useful.

First edit out of X then is a party that we provided for Stan and his 79th Party. This is the second party that we have played for Stan and he is a top 79 year old. It was a great night. We transformed Esher Rugby Club with our Video DJ system 1.

Chris was on Digital Party Photography again for a record number of dates this December.

An all-Star line up gathered at Cafe De Paris for the MINT Pre Christmas Quiz and After Show Party at The Cafe. The video based quiz ran from 6.00pm - 9.00pm we installed x7 40" Plasmas for the balcony viewing area and then x2 50" Plasmas for the dance floor area.

The quiz opened with the following animation.

A 10 round video quiz was painstakingly put together by Stuart "Cheeky" Cheek and his video side kick Malcolm. The finale to the quiz was a round sung by a 30-piece choir on the staircases of the Cafe. The round featured over x20 theme tunes of TV Themes from the 80's. The round ended up in a standing ovation by the 200 strong audience.

How to choose a mobile Nightclub for your party

2011-06-21T03:36:00.000-07:00

When it comes to hiring a mobile nightclub, you need to prepare a list of things you need to find out about the mobile nightclub company before you hire them. It is not advisable to just browse the internet and select one which appeals to you because there are many unprofessional mobile nightclub hires that will not give you good service for the amount you have to pay.

Here are a few tips you can use to select the mobile nightclub suitable for your event.

1) It is important to find out more about the mobile nightclub company other than what is written on their website as many times there is disparity in the quality of services actually provided.

2) You should go and see the mobile nightclub in action before you finalise them for your party. Check to see if they can provide their DJ for audition and also provide video footage of their previous programmes. This will help you to know the quality of music and the entertainment provided by the mobile nightclub.

3) Enquire and check if the mobile nightclub has professional grade equipment. Find out what equipment they will use for your type of event. Find out if they have backup equipment if there is a emergency so that you are not left stranded on the day of your event because of a technical mishap.

4) ask them if they would share their music bank with you. This will help you to find out the type of music they will play at your event. This will ensure that they do have music appropriate for your event so that you don’t get surprised by a song during your event.

5) When you visit the mobile night club to see them in action, check and see their rapport with the crowd. Check to see whether the DJ is able to find the pulse of the crowd. Is he able to understand and read what the crowd wants? Are they able to elevate the mood of the people on the dance floor and know when to change a song if it is bringing the mood down?

6) Do they have videos of all the hit singers which can be displayed through LED screens at the venue. This will help to entertain even further.

7) Are the DJ’s of the mobile nightclub polite and accept song requests from guests? This will help to ensure that the invited guests feel special when the DJ plays their requested song.

8) What other add-ons can the mobile nightclub provide to make your event a roaring success?

Asking all these questions in advance will make it easy for you to choose the right type of mobile nightclub for your event without making any compromises on the quality.

Important questions to ask when you plan to hire a wedding Disco

2011-06-21T03:31:00.000-07:00

A wedding day is one of the most important days of anyone’s life. You have to take care of many things and at the same time want everything to be just perfect. There are many things to consider right from the dress, the venue, caterer, flowers, music and decorations. Choosing music for your wedding becomes the single most important factor which can make your wedding day a memorable one.

When it comes to music it is wise to choose a professional wedding disco to play music and provide entertainment to your guests instead of asking your buddies to take care of the music. A skilled wedding disco hire will transform the mood of your guests and make them remember your wedding day for a long time.

When you start looking around for a wedding disco hire, you need to ask the following questions to the company before you plan to hire them.

1) Can the wedding disco hire provide references where you can enquire about the quality of services provided by the company?

2) Does the wedding disco hire provide you with formal quotes for their services? A professional company will provide you with a written quote.

3) Is the wedding disco hire associated with a wedding vendor or venues in their local area? If they are, then are they ready to provide references of the vendors or wedding planners with whom they have worked in the past? You will be able to gauge whether the company will be able to co-operate with your wedding planner and even with you.

4) Does the wedding disco hire need a signed agreement? It is always better to have a written agreement which outlines the services the wedding disco hire company is bound to provide. Also, you will be relaxed knowing that the company cannot back out and is obliged to provide you services on your wedding day.

5) Does the wedding disco hire need a deposit? If they do, then you can be sure that the company is serious about your event and paying a deposit will help to solidify the contract.

6) Ask them about travel expenses and whether the wedding disco hire company will charge you for transportation charges.

7) Are they a licensed business entity in their area? A reputable wedding disco will have a business licence.

8) Do they have business liability insurance? It is important to check if the wedding disco has insurance so that you are not liable to pay for any damages incurred by the company at the venue. Their Insurance will cover the expenses.

9) What type of equipment do they use? Do they have any backup equipment in case of emergencies?

10) What range of music do they play? What is the genre of music they specialise in and whether they provide government licensed music?

11) Is the wedding disco ready to give you samples of their work and also sample videos of other weddings where they have performed?

12) Last but not the least; do they provide a pre wedding music consultation? It is important to sit together and decide on the type of music you want. You should inform the wedding disco your expectations and high points of your wedding day so that they are clear about the type of music and entertainment they have to provide.

How to become a professional Mobile DJ

2011-06-21T03:23:00.000-07:00

Do you love playing music for people? Would you love to entertain people with music at various events like weddings, birthdays, dance parties etc and make this as your profession? If you answered yes to both the questions then you are ready to become a Mobile DJ. A Mobile DJ tours with all his equipment and has a collection of music which he plays to entertain his clients. He is a freelancer who works alone or teams up with a company that hires freelancers for events.

There are some things you need to keep in mind to become a professional mobile DJ.

1) When you are hired to play for an event as a Mobile DJ, you need to do thorough research about the type of music expected at the event.

2) You need to check with the client for his taste in music and select music as per the client’s choice.

3) It is important to find out the details of the party for which you have to perform. Ask for details about the party such as the occasion, the type of guests expected and if there is a theme for the party.

4) You need to learn to understand the mood of the party and find the pulse so that it becomes easy for you to tweak the music to make the guests appreciate the music.

5) At every party the Mobile DJ is expected to make announcements. It is advisable not to abruptly interrupt the flow of music and ruin the momentum and atmosphere of the party. It would be professional to slowly reduce the speed and volume of the music before you make the announcement.

6) Punctuality is a virtue that every professional mobile DJ should make part of their routine. Be punctual so that you reach the venue on time and have sufficient time to set up your instruments and get ready before the party. Reaching the venue early will avoid rushing when preparing for a gig.

7) A mobile DJ needs to categorise his music. Categorising the music will help you when you are in the middle of a party and have to quickly retrieve whatever you need without getting hassled.

8) Once the gig is over, a mobile DJ should ask for feedback about his services from the client. Positive feedbacks can be collected as testimonials for your website. Other feedback will be able to help you know about your problem areas so that you can work on them to improve your services.

9) A professional mobile DJ will provide the client with references when the client asks for them. He should also provide samples of his performance and provide links for online videos of his previous performances.

Video Disco- A new way to make any event a success

2011-06-21T03:17:00.000-07:00

Video disco can be used to make any occasion extra special. Video disco helps you to create the atmosphere of a disco at the place of your event. A Video disco uses a combination of excellent lighting, video screens and music to create the ambience of a disco. They can be used for any occasion including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and corporate events to add an extra dash of excitement for the guests.

The video screen becomes an added important point and can be used to display videos, photographs and also the live feed of the dance floor which will make the invitees much more interested in the party.

One can also use the screens to display the company logo or photographs to liven up the atmosphere which are appropriate for corporate functions or weddings. The entire experience of video disco should be enjoyed to actually understand what it is. The huge video screens are a part of the experience which project music videos of leading singers and musicians during the event. They are strategically located so that the guests can view them easily and enjoy the complete entertainment with ease. The video screens help the guests get in the party mood much quicker as they can see their favourite singer’s videos displayed on huge LCD screens and projectors. The huge screens can also be used to display football matches or photographs of guests at the event to make them feel special.

The Video disco also has sophisticated lighting equipment which will help turn any event into an actual disco experience. Some Video Discos also allow playing DVD’s of the client’s choice, live TV events, slideshows and pictures provided by the guests making any event unique.

A video disco not only brings a live disco to the venue, it also helps to see the client’s favourite stars perform at their event. The ambience a Video disco creates is a class apart. The stunning visual images, superb lighting and excellent music will put anyone in a party mood.

A good Video disco will have DJ’s who know how to change the mood of any party. The song selection and the graphics display should be tuned to the type of event. There are many Video Disco’s that also provide add-ons for an additional cost which include LED up lighters, dance floor hire, stage and staging systems, starlit cloth backdrop etc. All these add-ons help create a video disco experience a unique and memorable event.

Things to expect when hiring a video DJ

2011-06-21T03:11:00.000-07:00

These days typical music jockeys have become quite outdated. Gone are the days when all the Dj did was spin a few records and do beat matching. They have moved way past their typical style of mixing songs and are now known as a Video DJ who can integrate videos into the mix to create a wonderful experience of music and visuals together.

The Video DJ is not a person who carries a DVD player and just plays music but creates magic by transforming any party into an MTV style celebration. A video DJ will use sophisticated equipment to show his talents. He will mix the sound with music videos to create a concert performance to enthral people who have been invited to the party.

A good video Dj will have the latest videos of chartbusters including popular numbers from the past 30 years. A good Video DJ will use state of the art equipment for fine quality sound and visuals to make any party a roaring success. He should be able to gauge the mood of the crowd and depending on it, should be able to change the music to pep up the mood of the event. A video DJ can also provide state of the art lighting to make your event even more attractive. A video Dj will help client’s select the music and videos which will be suitable so that the client is sure of the music that will play at the event. A video Dj will have a collection of plasma screens and projection screens which help liven up any party. He will play music videos which help people on the dance floor to sing and dance along with their favourite singer and also entertain people who are not interested in dancing.

It is important to sign a contract with the Video Dj to ensure that both the parties are clear about their expectations. A professional Video Dj will also provide the customer with references and a client list so that a customer can be sure about the quality of services. Many Video Dj’s also have YouTube videos or recorded videos of their previous programmes which helps the customer to check the quality of performance and service of the Video Dj.

Professional lighting and sound equipment, coupled with foot tapping music and videos of favourite celebrities will make any venue and event a great success. A good Video Dj will help the client set the mood of the party and increase the ‘wow’ factor of any celebration.

Let it snow, let it snow

2010-12-20T07:52:00.000-08:00

So on Saturday along with the rest of the UK we battled our way through the snow. It completley covered the whole of Berkshire with roughly about a foot of snow outside our warehouse. It wasn’t going to be the easiest of days seeing as though it was the busiest Saturday in December for parties and events. The snow certainly didn’t help!!!!! What is normally a 20 minute drive turned into a 2 hour trip. The journey into London wasn’t going to be any easier! So much so we decided to leave with plenty of time.

We were providing a Video DJ and Video Disco system for Paul & Sarah’s wedding reception at One Whitehall Place in Central London, overlooking the Embankment and the Thames.

Despite the weather and traffic, we survived another day and had a really good party, which all of the guests enjoyed before braving the outdoors and even more snow. It was the only time I have ever seen a cloakroom at a wedding reception filled with wellies, scaffs, hats and overcoats.

Paul and Sarah sent us this mail on the Sunday,

Paul and I just wanted to say thank you for being so completely amazing yesterday. You went way beyond the call of duty to pull off the DJ party of the century! A couple of people asked if you were a friend because they felt everything was so personalised and you were such a nice guy....I said yes because genuinely it feels like you are. Leaving at 10am despite only getting home at 4am to battle through the snow and make sure you made it meant so much. You listened so carefully to what we wanted - despite it being rather quirky and offered your expertise to make our ideas work in practice. We made a lot of enquiries when planning our wedding as the music and evening entertainment was so important to us. I can honestly say no other DJ comes close to you. You offer something completely different and it worked perfectly for us. Thank you so so much.

Wedding Party 22/05/2010 Monks Barn, Hurley

2010-05-26T14:47:00.000-07:00

The couple spent five weeks in Thailand where they got married.

A select few went out for the wedding. This was the party for the family and friends that couldn't make it! The party was held at the beautiful Monks Barn in Hurley.

We provided a video DJ system and a digital party photographer

We were given over 700 pics from the wedding in Thailand, to screen during reception drinks and the hog roast etc. We then also had a digital party photographer and videographer going around outside (this is where all of the guests were as it was the hottest day of the year!) The groom had made a DVD as his speech which was a 6 min video montage of the 5 weeks in Thailand which worked really well as a finale to his speech. The evening then continued with music videos until 11.30pm.

Thank you both soooo much for an amazing evening on Saturday. Will and I are both so pleased that we decided to use you guys, you really made the night. Everyone was amazed by the technology, all the pictures and everything that you guys did for us.

Thank you again, I will call you this week for a catch up but I cannot explain how great the night was, and how great you guys were.

Speak soon.

ADCCT Heaven Sent Ball - Oakley Court Hotel Windsor

2010-05-19T16:36:00.000-07:00

SIR MICHAEL AND LADY PARKINSON HAVE A ‘HEAVENLY’ TIME AT
CHILDREN’S CHARITY BALL

Sir Michael Parkinson CBE and Lady Parkinson enjoyed a wonderful evening’s entertainment at the fourth Heaven Sent Ball at Oakley Court Hotel in Windsor on Friday, 7th May, in aid of local children’s charity, Alexander Devine Children’s
Cancer Trust (ADCCT).

Guests were treated to a stirring performance by the Irish Guards (accompanied
by their Irish Wolfhound mascot!), and a comedy slot by the Comedy Virgins.
Martin Edwards, Chief Executive of Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in Dorset,
spoke movingly about how his hospice started, and how he is advising ADCCT
as they work to build the first children’s hospice for Berkshire.

Sir Michael, Founder Patron of ADCCT was delighted to be at the event with his
wife Lady Parkinson: “I am always impressed by the sheer dedication and
commitment of Fiona Devine and her team, and at events such as the Heaven
Sent Ball, it is wonderful to see how many members of the community throughout
Berkshire come together to show support for this wonderful cause.”

Fiona Devine added: “We are so grateful to Sir Michael and Lady Parkinson for
their continued support – they help our charity in so many ways. With their help,
and the backing of the community at large, we are confident that Alexander
Devine Children’s Hospice will soon become a reality for families with children
with life-limiting conditions throughout Berkshire.”

VisualDJ provided the Video Disco together with x6 40" Plasma screens for the auction lot presentations and live camera feeds for all of the acts and entertainment on the night.

2010-05-07T03:17:00.000-07:00

The Ascot Charity Ball is a highly prestigious evening, with all the fun and elegance of a special social event. The evening provides an excellent opportunity for impressive entertaining at the Ascot Racecourse. This year the proceeds from the evening will go to:

ParalympicsGB

Children with Special Needs Foundation

The evening included a drinks reception, gala dinner, fabulous live entertainment including cabaret from the Three Waiters and celebrity guests. There was a grand auction including holiday destinations and memorabilia, a silent auction and prize draw and finally dancing into the night with a Video Disco.

Thank you so very mucho! Just wanted to thank you and your team for the enormous amount of work you put in for us. It paid off, it was a brilliant night!!! So many compliments.

Loved the pictures! Can't wait to see the CD!

Hope you are having some time off!

Many thanks once again!

50th House Party Perthshire, Scotland

2010-05-06T05:28:00.000-07:00

With an early morning start and a 7.5 hour drive upto Perthshire Scotland we were providing a Video Disco for Carole's 50th Party later on that night.

Carole was inviting 60 close friends and family to celebrate her 50th at home with something Perthshire hadn't seen before. Carole was very keen to transform the house into a party venue and create an unforgettable WOW factor.

It was well worth the drive as we were made very welcome and the party goers were certainly on form.

Thank you Carole for your very kind words:

I wanted to tell you how impressed we were with Max and Neil - in fact, impressed is an understatement! They exceeded all our expectations - so professional and so easy to work with.

The feedback from our guests has been incredible - the music, the videos, the lighting and the whole management of the event wowed everyone. They managed to turn our home into a great party venue - it was unrecognizable, which was what I had asked Max to do.

Max and Neil have definitely raised the bar here in Perthshire in terms of parties! We were delighted with what they did and, most importantly, how they did it - the standard was exceptional. We would be happy to recommend them to potential clients.

Hiring an events company in Windsor to deliver a house party in Perth, sourced through an internet search, is a daunting task - I didn't know what or who I was going to get. Max inspired confidence throughout the project, reassuring me that he would deliver - absolutely essential when there is no personal connection or recommendation to fall back on.

In conclusion, thank you for a fabulous event - you should definitely be doing more to market this part of your business!

Kind regards

Carole

Hollywood Themed Awards Party

2010-04-15T05:03:00.000-07:00

Saturday 10 April 2010 we were asked by the Celebration Roadshow (Mobile disco company) to supply a Video Disco that included all of the AV, sound and lighting for the GAPPAS (Gav And Phil Party Awards Show). The evening was very much a red carpet affair, styled around a Hollywood epic with bespoke Hollywood visuals for the x2 projection screens and x6 plasmas. The event took place at Tortworth Court in Gloucestershire for 150 Black Tie Guests. We provided a digital party photographer for reception drinks and the red carpet entrance. The Video DJ system was used for the awards slide show with live camera feeds of the guests as they collected there awards. After the awards, guests ate and then took to the dance floor for the rest of the evening with the Video Disco.

I can't thank you, Neil & Adam enough for what you guys did for us on Saturday! I couldn't have imagined it being so good & working so well! I was literally speechless when I walked in the room at 7 o'clock, and I'd planned most of it! Neil's colour scheme was perfect. People will be talking about it for a long time to come.
I know my feet won't touch the floor for several weeks. As for the visuals, they were superb! I can't believe how quick Phil turned things from written spec into finished footage.

More pictures from the event are available on the GAPPAS event website.

Friday 15/01/2010 Birmingham Metropole

2010-01-27T13:41:00.000-08:00

Thankfully the snow has disappeared! We made our way up to Birmingham Metropole straight from the Reading Town Hall event. Thankfully we were working for another event and production company so all of the sound /lighting and AV was installed. We used all of our own control gear and provided the mad and fab Fergus on Percussion.

He really has the biggest percussion rig!
2 x congas,
1 x pair of bongos,
1 x chime tree,
1 x pair of Timbales,
2 x cymbals,
1 x doumbek,
A lot of toys; shekere, tambourines etc etc.

It's great working with a percussionist as it looks and sounds great. He played pretty much all of our set from 10.30pm - 01.30am. I think that his hands were red raw by the end of the set!

Check out the link to see Fergus in action from previous events.

New Year Party

2010-01-26T08:50:00.000-08:00

So like most people we soldiered on and made our way through the snow and Ice and travelled mob handed to Reading, Berkshire for a New Year Party.

Penguins Events were staging an event for 400 guests and luckily we had a day before get-in which helped with staggering all of the trucks to and from site in the adverse weather conditions.

Broom in hand and pathway into the venue cleared, three trucks magically unloaded themselves hassle free up into Reading Town Hall courtesy of Gallowglass crew.

The New Year Party was to be an informal affair with the emphasise on good food, live music and good wine in great surroundings.

We worked in four spaces within the Town Hall, heavily concentrating on the main stage in the The Great Hall .

Entertainment on the main stage included The 10 –piece Empire State Band, The 6-piece Bogus Brothers Band. I Production Managed the event as well as arranging the on-stage Video DJ on a 4m x 3m LED Wall and x6 Plasma Screens around the venue. We then had a VJ overseeing all of the visuals from the balcony mixing live cameras and visuals and corporate branding, during the bands sets.

The party ran from 6.30pm – 12 Midnight when guests had to venture outside into the big freeze. A great gig!

Quote from Guy Hearn (photographer) about www.visualdj.co.uk

The marquee guys had nailed it down sufficiently so there were no disasters, and the DJs (Penguins) lighting was mindblowing – for the sake of the photographs, I think it should be a legal requirement for DJs to have as much kit as these dudes turned up with!

Marquee Wedding Reception in Worcester. A great event despite the mud and the rain. We provided a DJ system and additional plasmas for the photo montage and projection screen for the Best Mans Speech.

No cameras on this event, so decided to take a couple of dancefloor videos with an iPhone. Not the best audio and visual quality in the world but you get the general idea. I think that as result we will never leave home without a proper camera again!
