Corporate Video DJ for 2300 people at Hilton Bayfront

  A big event in the ballroom,  screens and audio all over the room courtesy of EventAVision at Hilton Bayfront San Diego with Pacific Events and Imagination Entertainment with their stage performers followed up by a packed dancefloor party afterward.
  You couldn't see all the screens in these pictures but (4) 16 x 9 ft projection screens and a full JBL array speaker system covered the room perfectly for the speaker at the podium, the stage acts and the Video DJ afterward.  This group of local healthcare professionals was ready to have some fun.  There's already talk of having me back next year.

 

 I LOVE DANCEFLOOR PICTURES!

LOOKS LIKE A CROWD OF PEOPLE STANDING THERE!

NO REALLY! THOSE PEOPLE WERE DANCING NOT JUST 

HANGING AROUND IN FRONT OF THE STAGE.

 

Video Dj Wedding at the Prado

  About 200 people for this one, lots of them from the Jersey Area (as you can see by the Boss Video being played).  The Prado is one of my all time favorite locations.  Its classic look and elegance is 5 star quality and the staff from the Sales Team to the Banquet servers are on the ball and really impress me every time I'm there. 
  Video DJ is the same great DJ performance plus the visually engaging element that you get from a music video for each song as it plays.  My Video Library of 18,000 plus videos covers from the Rolling Stones to the Beatles and LMFAO to Katy Perry and everything in between.  Words don't do it justice, you have to see if live to really get the full effect of the energy I create as I DJ and mix live with music videos for Video DJ parties.

Disco Themed Video DJ Party at Maderas

This was like an explosion of color! This Annual corporate party selects a theme each year and the attendees go all out, dressing in costume and acting in character - it was a lot of fun.


I Video DJ'd all Disco for the first 4 hours (yes, I have that much Disco on DVD)and they were INTO IT. maybe it was the wigs but no matter they were having a great time. The last hour as the planning committee and I planned we started to break out of the disco theme and give them some 80s and top 40 which by that time of night they were ready for and only added to the excitement.
My team brought in an 8 foot screen for the videos, plenty of dance and stage lights, 8 hot pink uplights and a disco ball - because let's face it what's a disco party if there's no disco ball!

Sorry for the lack of Recent updates!

I'm sorry to report that my cool little video camera that allowed me to give you a quick glimpse of those parties is no longer with us. I don't know if i misplaced it or if someone decided they liked it more than I do.

For now I guess we'll have to settle for good old fashioned Text updates and blogposts...how boring. I'll try to link youtube clips to some of the bigger events if I can find them online.

Here are a couple to get you going


San Diego Block Party: Early January I Video DJ'd for 2500 people from the Special Event Industry. I find that more and more, when its time to impress those that are usually behind the scenes and in-the-know like this group was, I get the call quite often for Video DJ because it's just so amazing. My video library is over 18,000 now and it covers to name a few: Frank Sinatra, Temptations, James Brown, Bee Gees, Madonna, Michael Jackson and of course all of today hits. This event was incredible, 4 City blocks with Food, Audio and Video Throughout.





The guys from Innovative Presentations did a great job placing 12 video screens around the 4 block area including the 12 foot screen behind me and a 15 ft screen on a rooftop on 5th avenue. I played for about 90 minutes and had the place jumping until I passed it off for the main stage and Recording Group - Kool & the Gang took the main stage.

This video isn't of me but someone else caught a little of Kool & the Gang on stage

DSA FundRaising Gala

I've played several events for these guys and they are a blast to work with. It's always such a celebration and they always come with their dancing shoes on. This Springs Gala was no exception. My team & I provided all the AV and microphones, Video DJ, Uplights around the room, 2 big video screens and the 4 speaker PA system in the main Ballroom as well as another 4 speaker PA for the Silent Auction Welcome Reception room. My friend Mike Hogan was the auctioneer and did a great job as always. He's a great choice for Auctioneer if you find yourself in need of one. He mixes his years of entertainment experience for perfect timing and his training as one of San Diego's top Auctioneers to make every auction a success. Before Dinner we had a special performance by Sujeet Desai a very accomplished international musician.
After Dinner and the Auction, we opened up the dancefloor and it was packed the rest of the night.

Video DJ on the Midway - Corporate Group

This was a party for about 500 people onboard the USS Midway. Guests came in and enjoyed all of the fun things in the hangar area that the Midway has to offer, Flight simulators, Vintage plane exhibits and the motion capsule experience. I Video DJ'd for background music and video to give it a fun festive atmosphere. 4 TVs spread through out the hangar. After the initial Cocktail Reception in the hangar guests were invited upstairs to the flight deck for Dinner and the main stage. The band was a great cover band that specialized in newer songs by bands like Kings of Leon, the surprise act was a group of urban acrobats or free runners. Those are the guys you see on TV commercials that scale the sides of buildings in everyday locations. Yes they really exist and sorry no video of those guys.



That Light in the Video is Amazing, the DL3 is a super bright light that spins and rotates 360 degrees and will show light in almost any color but it also will project a video image the same way.

Video DJ - Convention Final Night Party at the Ritz

This was the last night of the Convention for this group at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. I played background music during dinner and then after dinner, some awards and a customized company video that they showed, I opened the dance floor and the party was on.
Since they had a 4 day convention in the same room, they already had the screens, sound system and all of the lighting installed in the room. It really looked great.

Dinner ran a little long so I really only had about an hour of dance music and videos so I really went after them quickly with the big homerun songs. They had asked me to keep the music a little more on the current side since their group was younger and kind of into the club scene.

Video DJ Wedding at Maderas

I guess I missed posting this one a while back, I thought I posted the clip shortly after the wedding. A great crowd at Maderas Golf Club, Video DJ with 2 42" screens the dance floor was rockin! NR3 Video shot the wedding and the Maderas team was great as always. If you're looking for a beautiful secluded place for your wedding you should definitely check it out.

ABC RockStar Award 2010

I haven't blogged for a few weeks and a lot has happened so I'm going to try to cover several things quickly so it doesn't turn into a mini novel.

First... Mid January
Its Award Season time, the Grammys are on the TV as I type,
The Association of Bridal Consultants recently held their annual awards program and I was the recipient of the "ABC Rockstar Award" to summarize the criteria, its given to the ABC member deserving of recognition for their general day to day efforts.

Next.. Late January
Spent a week in Phoenix where -
I delivered an educational seminar to attendees of "The Special Event 2011" in Phoenix, AZ. I spoke about Music Royalties, who has to pay, when, and to whom. I'm very happy to say I got great feedback from the attendees of the session and the Show personnel alike. I have to admit, I was a little nervous. I don't know what it is. I've spoken on stage in front of crowds of 8000 and 10,000 and it was no big deal. But speaking to your peers is just different. I'm glad I did it and hopefully will get to offer it again to some other industry groups.

And then...
I spent a week in Vegas where I was representing MMP Lighting and selling High Powered LED lights. These lights are incredible. They're so bright! 36 three watt LEDs recessed inside a reflector that focuses the beam to make it one of the brightest LED lights on the market at one of the lowest prices available. While I was there my good friend Jay Brannan a Demonstrator and DJ for Pioneer Pro DJ along with DJ Lars another Pioneer DJ gave me a quick slot to spin a house set at the performance stage at the Riviera. Lots of fun.













Lastly, for this post anyway.
I got a last minute call on Friday before the Superbowl from my long time friend, DJ Marc Thrasher who was in San Francisco for an event that needed the Video DJ gear for him to spin the Audi Superbowl Commercial debut party scheduled to be held at Alcatraz Prison the following day. I'd just finished my only event for the weekend so I packed the family, the Video DJ rig and hit the road at 11:30pm on Friday for San Fran. We drove all night, did some touristy stuff the next morning then caught the ferry over to the Prison for set up. The event was CRAZY, they really converted the space. All the history and struggle in that building over the years. We got to go a few places the general public isn't allowed. Very cool! End of the night we caught the Ferry back, the next day I did some more family stuff, I got to meet previous Raiders Linebacker Jeff Barnes, then we headed back that evening.
If you saw the commercial which ran the first spot break of the game. This photo taken in the Alcatraz Shower Area is of the actual Stuffed Dodo bird that they used in the commercial, which I was told cost $7000 (with Marc Thrasher in the background). Hey for 7 Grand shouldn't I get a live Dodo even if they are extinct?

VIDEO DJ / 2 rooms, 7 screens, 2 sound systems - ROCKIN'

This party was arranged through one of my entertainment booking agencies that uses me a lot, for his and his clients privacy I won't mention their names but if I printed their names you'd instantly know who they are, both very big / high tech companies here in San Diego. This party was jumpin' from the very beginning. 650+ people in 2 rooms at the Hardrock Hotel in San Diego for this year-end holiday party. The agent brought in a great light show as well as an AV production company to handle the (2) big 12' x 15' screens in the Legends Ballroom to go with my 4 speaker system and (2) flatscreens near the dancefloor. AV then ran video and audio signal to The Edge ballroom across the foyer where there were (3)50" screens and a 4 speaker EAW sound system.
No Videos during dinner but once I started playing dance music videos after dinner the dancefloor in the main room filled up immediately, my style of video DJ'ing keeps me very active and involved so although I didn't have a chance to go look in the other room, I'm told that the dancefloor was packed over there too.

Video DJ Wedding at the Dana

Tim & Ivana were awesome! Super Organized about every detail, yet easy going throughout the night. She wanted their video montage as well as a surprise video presentation by their friends as part of the Grand Entrance. A close friend of theirs' Emceed the Grand Entrance and then I took over from there. The Video Screen was 6' x 8' after the party got started I video DJ'd the dance party wit music videos play a combination of requests and songs I knew would be big with that audience. One of the requests was for "Like a G6" by Far East Movement. That's a fun song and a big song in top 40 right now (October 2010), but when she told me why I was surprised to hear that she wanted me to play the song/music video because her brother was in the Video... He's in the group "Cataracs" hip hop group that collaborated on "Like a G6"
I also provided music for the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. If you're looking for a prefect wedding location. The Dana on Mission Bay has a ceremony lawn that overlooks the water, the recently remodeled Ballroom and surrounding area is unmatched around San Diego and THE STAFF, is really great at what they do. Keith in the office, Tim & Rob head up the Catering Staff team and I can tell you honestly because I'm behind the scenes a lot and I see everything. They don't miss anything, they are truly one of the best Catering teams around.

Video DJ & Karaoke Wedding and uplighting at Tom Hams Lighthouse

A fun little September wedding reception in the small room at Tom Hams Lighthouse in Point Loma for Joe & Jean. I don't think they thought their family would cut loose, dance and have a good time. That was one of the main reasons they selected Video DJ for the reception so that the guests would be visually entertained even if they didn't dance a lot. As the wedding date got closer, they asked to add Karaoke entertainment since they had some singers in the family. The room was a little crowded with their 60~ guests. The (2) Video Screens, Karaoke lyrics monitor and the (8) LED Uplights along with the dancefloor didn't leave much extra space.

They had several really good singers to start off and then the dancing started...

Video DJ at Loews Coronado

This is a past party that I did and recently got some video footage from. Video DJ for the Employees at Loews Coronado and as usual it didn't disappoint. Video DJ, if you aren't already familiar with it, is: Picture a party with A GREAT DJ, now imagine that party with two video screens where the music comes to life in the form of Music Videos and Rare Concert Footage, some of which are one of a kind and can't be found anywhere except in my music video library. By using these amazing videos I orchestrate a seamless performance that you just have to see to appreciate the range and engaging element that it brings to a party.

Video DJ at Anthology in San Diego

I've been the on-air Mix DJ for Magic 92.5 since 1998 under the name, Dr Boogie. Anthology, San Diego's Live music venue, had me come in along with Xavier The X-man to Video DJ for the night March 13th. Anthology is by far my favorite venue to Video DJ in San Diego. 10 screens including the big 15 foot screen above the stage the videos are everywhere! Anthology has 2 shows per night on the weekends, a 7-9 and a 10-12. LadySmith Black Mombasa was the 7pm show, they are the African Accapella group that used to back Paul Simon in the 80's. I made sure to show up early for my show so I could catch the last part of their set. It was very different, but very cool. Those guys deliver a great vocal performance but they really have some amazing choreography. At times it was hard to tell what was rehearsed and what was improvised. The 7pm show was sold out so at 9:15 when it was over it took a little time to clear the room for the line of Magic listeners forming at the front door. It didn't take long to get the crowd dancing, I've got some video clips to edit together. I'll post those as soon as they're available. You can catch my mixshow on www.Magic925.com or 92.5 FM at 5pm Monday-Friday. You can also download free mixes at my website www.mobilemusicplus.com by signing up in the sign up box in the upper right corner.

Video DJ at La Jolla Spa MD Grand Reopening

Late February I Video DJ'd the Grand Reopening of La Jolla Spa MD in La Jolla. The Guest List of 500+ was invited in Paparazzi style with a Red Carpet entrance and check in, next upstairs for several stops on their "Trip Around the World" with each stop offering a different regional cuisine. Their final stop was back in the main lobby and boutique area adjacent to the Auditorium where they were treated to "The World's Hottest Night Club" featuring San Diego's original Video DJ, Spencer Bezy. Additional 42" flat screens and speakers were run to the front lobby to tie the entire lower level together.

San Diego Zoo Employees - Party Like Animals!

I'm sure you can imagine that when a group of 1500 employees and their guests that spend their days catering to visitors at a world renowned attraction like the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, they really know how to have fun. What's great about DJing an employee party like this is that, the HR and Special Event staff at the Zoo knows every DJ in town, and they chose me to play and create the perfect atmosphere to show their employees the appreciation they deserve. I was honored to be their choice.
Paradise Point Resort was the location and the party took full use of the resorts facilities. Dinner in the large ballroom, a Karaoke lounge in one of the side rooms and Video DJ in all 4 sections of the Sunset Ballroom overlooking the water.
As dinner came to an end the crowd started flowing into the Sunset Ballroom and before I knew it there were about 700 people dancing and having a good time to a mix of Hip Hop, 70's, 80's and they partied until the end.

Video DJ at Anthology on Halloween

My Radio on air alter ego, Dr Boogie (TM) from Magic 92.5 FM had me playing as the closing act after R&B Singer Teedra Moses. She's primarily an East Coast Artist, but she's got a long list of credits that you would recognize including song writing for Mary J Blige, Macy Gray and Support Rolls for R Kelly, Will Smith and No Doubt.

I was booked to play old school (like we play on Magic 92.5) videos and the crowd loved it. The best feature of my Video DJ performance still continues to be my wide variety of Videos or different music genres.

This party was fun but I have to admit, it was a new experience for me. Anthology is a Live music show club, not a dance club and consequently the audience comes to see a performance, that was the first time I have ever been "The Show" I'm usually called in to create the dance atmosphere of a party or Night Club.

Customized Rock n' Roll / Video DJ Wedding at the Hard Rock Hotel

Chris and Jennifer went all out on their Rock n Roll themed wedding, I have to give the credit to her wedding planner Jessica Gillon for really making it all come to life. Their Ceremony was on the 4th Floor Woodstock Terrace featured a close friend of theirs singling and playing the keyboard for their music selections. The Cocktail reception was also on the terrace separated by Garden Decor and was all Coldplay, Uncle Cracker and the Killers.

When the guests were invited down to the Legends Ballroom, they were treated to the works. Photobooth complete with costume hats and feather boas, Record shaped Menu cards and actual records (with their personal label of course) as table number signs, the Late Night Party Donut Station and I Video DJ 'd on the Main stage. With the Rock n' roll theme we got to have a lot of fun with the Background music videos, and they had a few close friends that offered some of the best toasts I'd heard in a while, the kind where the audience laughs and cries all within 4-5 minutes. After dinner it didn't take much effort to get the group up and dancing, I was scheduled to play dance music for about 45 minutes to make way for the Closing Act, but once we got going they pushed the final act back a little.

Joey Cape was the Closer and if you aren't familiar with his work, I can best describe him as Jack Johnson meets Grunge, sort of. I have to admit I was a little worried about having a down tempo Acoustic act close the party. Completely the opposite, the group were BIG fans. The keyboard player for the ceremony had actually collaborated on a song for Joey's recent album. I don't usually offer live band PA due to the amount of work involved but Joey was super nice and it was only 3 microphones and 3 Instruments.

One of my favorite features about Video DJ is that I can take monograms, designs and logo and put them right on the screen. If you look on the screen behind Joey Cape in the video clip you'll see Chris and Jenn's logo for the wedding.

Party Like a Rockstar - Video DJ - 80s Party

This party was awesome! It was Brett's 40th Birthday and ALL of the guests dressed up in 80's costumes and there were some really good ones too.

I played 80's music videos for the first hour or so. Then the 80's Band, Lipstick & Leather took the stage. They rocked the whole neighborhood for about an hour including Brett belting out a party rocking, Crowd stopping, Police Helicopter circling over head version of Nothing but a Good Time. Yes, it doesn't happen very often, but the house was in what seemed to me to be a pretty quite area and the 80's band and people yelling and screaming proved to be a little too much for some of the neighbors and the police came in at 10pm on the dot. I'm happy to report that I had not started to play dance music by the time the sherriff came by. They didn't order us to stop, just to turn it down, way down. The last hour of the party I opened up the music to the more current top 40 and hip hop, but the volume was so low it wasn't really danceable any more. I wish we had more time, the crowd was really into it. It's great when the people dancing on the dancefloor are dancing and having a good time, but you can notice them every time they hear a new song checking the screens to see the video.
