Cool :) Its not really clear to me where Im going with creating video myself, there are massive gaps in my abilities. But Ive had a decade long fascination with realtime computer animation, from virtual pupeteering to virtual bands that play along with the music, mixed with real live video in ways I havent seen done much yet. Ive got a few early experiments on mutantquartz.com, they were all recorded live in one take with no post-processing, but they are all half-baked at best.
The only real thing Ive actually achieved so far was I made a fairly primitive 'totalizer' for use at a charity event, to show how much had been raised at different points in the evening (it was projected onto the wall) and it had a few different modes that would trigger a slideshow presentation using the apple remote control. So I havent actually taken the final step and broadcast the stuff live yet, and I think it will be up to 2 years before my stuff is ready, but I may try to rush out something later this year if the 3d quartz composer puppets stuff gets finished. Agree totally about the preparation. The way I see it the preparation may be far greater than for non-live videos that are edited etc after being shot. But I really like that its moving all the potentially tedious hard work to before the performing & broadcasting bit, and once that is done its all over, till the next time. Good luck with the show, which service you going to be using for the live video?
