VJ and animation

I want to explore live VJing and animation. 

the definition of a VJ is someone who creates moving visual art, often on large screens at events such as gigs, club nights, festivals or in conjunction with other performance artists. It can include pre-recorded video. Techonology wise, wikipedia states "often using a video mixer, VJs blend and superimpose various video sources into a live motion composition". Never having done VJing myself, the concept of how you actually do it is still a little over my head. However if possible, would jump at the opportunity to have a play around.

Here is an example of VJing. This is a simple VJ, constructed of various old school disney clips and a music track. It's a Mr. Scruff VJ mix- Get a Move On.



Here is an example of another VJ live set by Eyescream in 2006.
