I was inspired by Smashing Magazine top lists and thought I’d start busting out some list featuring vj clips in different genres. First out is this compilation of live multiscreen projections. The criteria for the clips was that they should be using 2 screens or more and the composition has to span over all screens (no repetition of one screen) and be performed live.

These clips didn’t make it on to the list since they weren’t recorded live, but they are nice too, so I share them anyway:

If you want to do multiscreen projections, check out the Triplehead2go device from Matrox. It’s probably the cheapest way to do it. They recently released a new version that is compatible with the new Macbook’s display port. Many modern VJ softwares (like Arkaos, Modul8, Resolume, VDMX) supports multiscreen output.

There is a channel on Vimeo dedicated to multiscreen and panoramic live visual, it’s worth keeping track on!
