Interested in much more than club vjing, in 2002-3 there was the acme construction company: jud, an actor, and a bunch of audio-visual tricks, largely from me with laptop on my lap at the side of the stage.

“Who is Bobby Lopez” was our theatre production that started at the vaudeville-era Hoxton Hall, did a run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2002, and cropped up later posing as cabaret nights around London. Essentially a series of story-telling skits, by using audio-visual wizardry we expanded the range of the show massively, especially in allowing the sole actor - Jud Charlton - to interact with himself pre-filmed as other characters, and providing many a coup-de-théâtre messing with a cameraman’s live feed. We were agile in production and performance, thanks to it all running off the all-then-wonderously-new world of a Titaniun Powerbook with VDMX2 and a USB video input dongle, and a DV camera and Final Cut Pro v2. Technology has rarely worked so well since!
