It is "assumed"
that your club VJ will have all the latest video's from today's top artists
(well any VJ that maintains a current subscription to a major professional
service, like myself). But I also maintain a vast collection of rare and
retro video's, some on VHS that I convert to DVD. Some of
the recent additions to my video library:
4 Minutes -
Madonna with Justin Timberlake
See You Again - Miley Cyrus (2 Versions, Live and Radio Mix, a vj chris edit)
Break The Ice - Britney Spears
In My Arms - Kylie Minogue
Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg
Relax (Take It Easy) - Mika

Sea of Love by Robert Plant
In 2005, I
started remixing videos on my computer - it's a ton of fun, but it most cases
requires hours of labor for a 5 or 10 minute song. My first 2 creations
included "I Don't Want You" by Widelife, and featured clips from the Queer As
Folk episodes where the song was featured. The 2nd creation was far more
complicated attempting for the first time to match the audio track with the
video tracks - the final result was an imperfect yet "killer" remix of "Mr.
Brightside" by The Killers (yes, the pun was intended).
Most Internet
users have heard of YouTube, Google Video, and an assortment of web sites that
allow users to upload their favorites video's, shows, and other creations.
If you read the rules for uploading, you will also notice that nearly every
music video and TV show violates upload policy, based on Copyright Infringement.
Being someone that plays by the rules, it is very frustrating to have video's
removed when the same (or similar) video's can be found elsewhere on the same
web site! Most video sites like these wait until there is a complaint,
remove the video, and notify the user. The question then is why should
anyone be allowed to upload any music video's? It would seem like the
respectable (to the artist) way to handle this is to ban all music video's.
Basically everything on the site with a VH1 or MTV logo is in violation of the
policy. So are sites like YouTube encouraging this by not forbidding the
video in the first place?
Here's a sample
of some of my exclusive video mixes:
Christina Aguilera's "Hurt"
Justin Timberlake Video
Megamix! Features 6 videos with Justin from his 1993 Mickey Mouse Club
performance with Britney Spears to his N'SYNC years, to his solo career,
concluding with his hot "SexyBack"! Nearly 21 minutes of Justin Pleasure!
"Sorry" by Madonna featuring
the Pet Shop Boys Maxi-Mix
"Studio 54 Retro-Extravaganza
Video Mix" Fabulous!!!
(More About
Studio 54)
Angelu Vinuto's
Remix of Neil Diamonds' "Sweet Caroline" using Video from the Neil's 1986
concert! Sweet...
"All About Us" -
t.A.T.u. Hot..
For
"Broadway Remixed" night, I created the following:
"On My Own" (The Harajuku Remix from 1994)
"Seasons of Love" - Cast of RENT, 2005
"Somewhere" - the vj chris West Side Story Meets the Pet Shop Boys Meets
Barbra Streisand Video Mix!
The Freemasons
Meet Tina Turner - featuring the Hot Dance track "Love On My Mind" which samples
lyrics from Tina's "When The Heartache is Over".
Barbra
Streisand's "The Way We Were" featuring an audio remix by DJJD and featuring
film clips and sound bites.
The ultimate camp!
Cyndi Lauper's
"Shine" features the Tracy Young Club Mix and video from her live concert and
her appearance on the 5th Season of Queer As Folk.
The Killers "All
These Things I've Done" and "Mr. Brightside" (probably the most requested one
thus far).
Bird York's "In
The Deep" from the Motion Picture "Crash".
Tracy Chapman's
"Fast Car" featuring live video of Tracy in concert (circa late 1980's) with
remastered audio from the original song. Quite the task to match words and
video! A personal
favorite.
Most of my focus
now is on video, and so I do not create a lot of CD mixes. Here
are some recent CD's.
