My DJ Promo :D

My DJ Promo :smiley:

Here is my DJ promo video…not much yet but once i get better and have better mixes.

uhh…needs work

I didnt make it.lol

What… was that? Why?

I really hope you didn’t pay money for that

Those transitions are just so “elementary school windows movie maker” terrible.

All this video needs is super HQ shots of really close up knob turning, button pressing and fader flicking. Then edit it with clean cuts to the beat of the music.

Also if your gear has a light show when you turn it on film that. And the plugging in of your headphones. And if your quite the looker film your bass face every once in a while.

This guys 's videos are pretty pro, even minus the sick routines.

ok well thnx for the help and btw we only wanted to have a short clip that took a short time to make so we just threw in random stuff…we didnt want to take our super perfect time and stuff the was our first" Promo" we will be making WAY better ones when we get the software update…

If you want to promote yourself, I suggest you make the best movie you possible can, if you want to make a good first impression. That was a extremely bad first impression.

Do we really live in a world where a 1 minute promo video is necessary? Who’s the intended audience? Who’s going to watch you fiddle knobs while a song plays? Back in my day, we judged DJs based on their mixtapes. Uphill both ways.

Why don’t you just focus on turning out quality mixes? Until you have like, a name, this stuff just generally comes off as cocky and kinda cheesy.

I have to agree. A promo video for a DJ should be of the DJ…you know…actually DJing?

But I gotta look kewl on the facebooks. :smiley:

A video is perfect for a contollerist or turntablist tho
But if long mixes are your thing soundcloud or mixcloud will give a better representation of what you 're all about.

But still I think a video can make you more memorable, perhaps a little bitdouchey, but memorable.

A turntablism routine is fine. The visual element is part of what’s important to that. If you’re just making a commercial for the concept of “you,” I don’t think anything positive will come from that. That’s an Al Walser move.

Erm. No Comment.

Just focus on the music.

hahah, even if it was unintentional the video made me laugh

Well this isnt the feedback i was looking for :disappointed: umm i am working on it and will make some better stuff all i need to do is get some more cameras and better software.this may not be " Good " but i guess you could say it is a teaser. i guess.

This is one of my mixes that has no video…if i had this mix recorded it would be good…

Quite boring to watch to be honest. You should move your hands more and learn more effects, looks like you are just standing around and letting the ipod play.

It’s not the camera or software, it’s the fact that in the video you are doing little to nothing. When creating a promotion video you need to engage the viewer. Even as a DJ as you were turning the knobs and adjusting your platter and what not I couldn’t tell what you were doing, and just a video of you mixing in a track over another track is boring quite frankly. If you noticed the video the other guy posted below you (I can’t scroll back as I am typing this in the second page), that video shows creativity on the part of the DJ. Granted he’s scratching and it may be hard for you to learn or do right now, but you should still attempt to do something that actually is showing you doing something - not just mixing in a track over another.

It’s not about us being rude, or a reaction you’re looking for, it’s just telling you flat out what it is.

Yeah, seconded on the confusion part. When you were sitting there slapping the db meters with your fingertips or had both faders wide open and were just randomly nudging the jog i was confused as to wtf was going on.

Again I think you’re putting the cart before the horse. You don’t really need a promo video. I think it comes off in not a good way, tbh. Record good mixes. That’s what matters.
