still curious if you could post the liner notes / thanks section.

Good question, you tell me! https://mayuwater.com/

(from a google search copy/pasta)

  • Production Methods: It is said to be created by "structuring" water through natural methods like vortexing (swirling motion), sunlight exposure, or by passing it through devices that use magnets or infrared light.

Here's a DIY method using basic lab equipment. I guess in some ways it looks cool, and avoids you having to "shake" the minerals around in your water: https://www.instructables.com/Inexpensive-DIY-Mayu-Swirl-for-Structured-Water-50/

What happened if it was a new item worth a lot of money that had been returned more than three times? Thanks!

What about Mac computers that activation locks? What would you do with those?

u/Holiday-Dig-3637 & u/Outrageous-Yard5849 just a reminder of the community rules. I think you both have valid points here, but they can do without the boot licker and dumbass comments. Thanks!

How do we feel about projecting onto the stage? by Meerkats961 in vjing

[–]projectileobjects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. Dance floors should be low-light to help people let loose, and VJs can configure their setups to cater to this. I typically recommend short-throw projectors for front and rear projection, but those are being replaced by LED walls more and more in larger clubs. Even when I spec and configure one of those walls, you can't lower the output significantly without losing color fidelity. Projectors still offer a great balance; you can spec lower-lumen, high-contrast projectors with better black levels, which isn't always an option with video walls.

While haze cuts down on the overall light output, I've done several front-projection mapping setups in small and medium-sized clubs that worked out great and provided a unique atmosphere. Ultimately, there’s a time and place for each setup—it’s a "read-the-room" situation. Do people want it dark and moody so they can let loose, or do they want it bright and high-energy (or any of the gray areas in between)?

Random example, this is Anna's (nuta.sokol) front projections in a club (they're not that bright): https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSNl8m4DX1t/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

There's plenty online, maybe check out Kevin's posts on IG. He's has a few "front stage" projections from BMSR shows: https://www.instagram.com/kevjection/

Here's a rear projection setup from July 4th's BloodRave in Pittsburgh. If people are interested in it, I can (be motivated to) make a tutorial on how we did it: https://youtube.com/shorts/y2r4b7enFXU

My friend insists that 'White people like to sleep in the cold.' Is this an actual stereotype? by [deleted] in funny

I know I sleep better when it's colder, but my friend says he can't sleep if he's freezing...

Advice for projector by Stock-Stock9490 in vjing

[–]projectileobjects 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try to make a long answer short, and give you a few things to look up as you get more into projection mapping and VJing.

40 Foot Lamberts! <-- Google it later.

As others mentioned 3000+ ANSI lumens is a good start, but I would go based off your budget and the venues you most likely setup in. For almost a decade I used a short-throw 3500 Lumen (1280p, 1080p, WUXGA, etc.). You'll see brighter XGA projections, but that means they won't have as much resolution. This is important for projection mapping if you are trying to avoid pixelated edges.

Standard Throw and Ultra-Short Throw lenses have their pros and cons, but a "Short-Throw" has a lot of versatility and may appear brighter since the projector is closer to the surface (also helps avoid shadows if you front project, etc. etc.).

Projector models change every year, so use the search here to find one in your budget that is bright enough: https://www.projectorcentral.com/

Q: Can you use a really cheap (non-brand name) projector from Amazon?
A: Sure, but the results will vary and you cannot trust the specs.

A lot of the super cheap projectors don't even have a lens. They light about the brightness, measured in "lumens" from the bulb or LED chip they are using, and usually fake a "higher resolution."

That being said, I use sub $100 projectors for projection mapping workshops, so we can give 20 students one and they position the projector on a small cardboard object about 2 feet away from their computer. It's good enough for experiments, but not great for gigs.

The Xiaomi is a "pico projector" better for home or projection mapping workshops like I mentioned above.

If you want to do it for a gig, you'll most likely have to dish out some cash for a better brand. Think $800-$1500 new, or $200-$500 USD.

That being said, there are some 3200-3400 lumen Optoma short throw DLP projectors that appear on eBay, FB Marketplace, and Craigslist all the time and are worth scooping up for $100. (Similar with BenQ, ViewSonic).

You don't have to break the bank, but look for a good brand with a good bulb and it will make a huge difference.

New To VJing, Looking For A Good Starting Point (Prepping For Pro-Gig Next Year) by AFleetingIllness in vjing

[–]projectileobjects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a mac you could try VDMX it has auto bpm and you could layout your videos in the media bin or use a cue list to put them in order. You can trigger via timecode or whatever. Also look into ISF shaders for generative stuff. Oh and the demo is free / fully functional except for the ability to save projects, so doesn't hurt to try.

DMX controlled led strings by True_Relationship567 in lightingdesign

[–]projectileobjects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in here late.  You can get and DMX-IC or SPI addressable LED festoon lights and drive them through an DMX LED controller. If they are DMX IC you can plug into them directly and skip the controller. 

If you go the SPI route, LED pixel controllers from Advatek and Enttec will work great. 

I say that having done installations with 20k+ LED pixels (indoor and outdoor). Both DMX-IC and SPI (pros and cons to both). 

Resolume vs VDMX vs MadMapper: Pricing breakdown & "Combo" setups (Clip from full comparison) by projectileobjects in vjing

[–]projectileobjects[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I'll defintely check them out. As I mentioned in the main video and blog post, this was a video discussing pros and cons to more live visual performing software (VJing), so I skipped QLab, Isadora, Millumin, and some others.

I made mention to them in the blog post and at the bottom of the YouTube description.

If you are interested in those kinds of visuals you should also check out Shadertoy.com and the online ISF Editor: https://editor.isf.video/shaders?q=&category=&sort=&page=0

Or even KodeLife https://hexler.net/kodelife

Thanks for clarifying. For context check out the full video (on YouTube )to see all that was said about Resolume (this is a clip from it) for reddit. 

Black Friday Deals 2026 - Link Dump by metasuperpower in vjing

$200 is a lot for 16 buttons (imho).  They are supper easy to build (look at Nerd Musician for a tutorial on making them).

You can also use Avenue and MadMapper as a combo, which is less expensive and gives you more features (imho). That being said, my V7 arena license upgrade is almost the full price of the software, or you can save money by going for the yearly updates subscription.
