Guest Phil Armstrong Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Having a camcorder projecting one of the turntables onto a screen in each room at the recent Derby Assembly Rooms Allnighter . May do it again if it was of interest, was this a welcome addition or shall I order a straightjacket? Cheers Phil Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 They used to do that at the Rocket, apparently looked great Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Matt Male Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 They used to do that at the Rocket, apparently looked great They used to show the record going on, then showed archive footage of the singer (if they had any) and label scans during the record. Yes it did look good. Gave the non-dancers something to look at. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave Rimmer Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I thought it was a great idea, and had great fun working my set so that I could play a white demo on the left hand deck everytime Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Little-stevie Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Maybe not the same buzz if dj was playing white cardbord cover ups.. Nice idea, would stop the boooooooooooooooooooot alert maybe also Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Geeselad Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 shouls be compulsary at nighters, top idea! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
purist Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It was done at the last but one Stafford Reunion/Anniversary, the one in Stoke, Queens Hall was it ? For those who care what the labels look like it was a fantastic idea, but as already mentioned, in certain quarters the sales of colourful label scans might increase Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jumpinjoan Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I absolutely loved it! The only criticism I had was that there wasn't a camera on both decks! More of it that's what I say. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Citizen P Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Know Ste's been thinking about doing it at Heywood, maybe this'll give him the kick up the arras he needs....... :D . T Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Spacehopper Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 good idea if you dont know the tune but dont wanna stop dancin to go and ask the dj what it is!...providing you can see it before it starts to spin ofcourse dean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MrC Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 They used to do that at a lot of big clubs and rave events 10-15 years ago, Mezzanine in Wolverhampton always did it. I thought it was a great idea then, and still do, perfect for Northern do's methinks. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) I absolutely loved it! The only criticism I had was that there wasn't a camera on both decks! More of it that's what I say. I would have liked to have seen it on both decks, to see what the next track up was, but it was big enough for eveyone to see, Great adds to the fun.

Guest Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The only criticism I had was that there wasn't a camera on both decks! More of it that's what I say. We also have a camera trained on the decks at the collectors night over here...who ever passes the camera as the record is about to end rotates it on its tripod to then point at the next disc...fun for all! The image appears on the huge flat-screen TV hung on the wall...its great! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ted Massey Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I absolutely loved it! The only criticism I had was that there wasn't a camera on both decks! More of it that's what I say. the other one was for the boots Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest RichEvans Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 sounds good to me, agree, saves running up to decks between dancing Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ian Seaman Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 great idea, i did try and get the Bridlington boys to go with the idea as they have 2 massive screens either side of the stage which would have looked great showing both decks !!

Tabs Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I thought it was brilliant and really enjoyed watching the vinyl spinning. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It was a great idea and had plenty of comments about it on the night......I used the deck with no camera for cover ups The quality was really good though and as said no need to go running to the decks.

Yes it did look good. Gave the non-dancers something to look at. They used I think the Beat Shows and that 3 dvd set of soul singer footage that came out around that time.
