VJ Loop: Club Fly Through with Geometry

Stock Video Footage: Club Fly Through Light Color Beat Movement VJ Loop

Marking this loop down to $9.99, one of my favorites and immersive best.

Originally made for a contest animation that you can view here:

Featured VJ Loop: Magic Color Star Burst in Space Travel Effect

I really want to promote this little loop burst as an addition to your library of motion graphics.  I've recently marked it down to just $5 so you can drop this little graphic weapon onto your hard drive w/ ease.  If your in doubt you can always go to the product page and download a low resolution comp.  I usually do the same for my clients when mixing stock footage with my own loops.  It really gives you a clear idea as to how graphics are going to mix with one another.

Thanks for checking this out and I'm looking forward to sharing some more animation soon!

Robyn - "Call Your Girlfriend" (Kaskade Club Mix) Demon Pack Animated Video

I was an instant fan when Kaskade took Robyn's song for "Call Your Girlfriend" and transformed it into a big energetic colorful dance floor sound.  I took pieces of Max Vitali's directed video to keep the lyrics + Robyn at the heart ... my addition ... the custom animation for Kaskade's beats for a heightened club feel.  I had to satisfy the images flashing in my head whenever I'd listen to his mix.  

Thank You For Watching,

DJ Marketing and Branding

Gerard Mattera's Logo

Demon Pack just finished creating some branding for New York DJ Gerard Mattera and its time to spread the good monkey beats.   The project started in my sketchbook and I began drawing from his energy and presence. Taking the time to sketch really brought on the idea of giving his first name the monkey tale effect. The "M" was originally going to be very 3D to match Gerard's live dimensional mixing of tracks, but it over powered the monkey. The extra line on the name was the best solution and still mimics how Gerard can match multiple beats on the fly.

Refinement came from looking at existing DJ logos and seeing how Roger Sanchez branded himself across his social channels online.  We loved the way the "S" of his last name detached from the full name logo to create a portable square logo that he often drops into smaller spaces.  It also doesn't hurt that we both think Roger Sanchez is a true leader in the music industry.  So we followed his lead by creating the "M" piece to be used in similar fashion.

It does not stop here.  The new branding appears on all new media and his audience already identifies the current image.  We can also shift gears and Demon Pack Animation can step in and apply these materials to viral animation and live show branding in the future.

Please enjoy some animation using a mix from Gerard Mattera:

Magnetic Man - "I Need Air" feat. Angela Hunte (Dirty Secretz Bootleg) Demon Pack Animation

Completely moved and inspired by Magnetic Man I proceeded to look for mixes of their song 'I Need Air' on YouTube. I soon found a stunning bootleg by The Dirty Secretz.  After only a few listens images flooded my head and this is probably the closest I've ever come to truly animating the visuals from my cranium.  Please enjoy the animation and selected stills below:

Thank you for watching and keep dreaming.

Had a few ideas in 3D and really love this track from Laidback Luke.  If there is enough interest I will go back and expand it a bit more, but wanted to go ahead and get this version out there.

Thanks for the continued support for Demon Pack through the year.

Kaskade: The Rainbow Unicorn

Kaskade first hit my ears about five years ago, but I wasn't really aware he would later become one of the most influential music producers of today.  That was when I was walking the streets of NYC, just beginning to discover the appeal of electronic music.  It wasn't until I moved to Miami did I really dive in.  In 2008, he dominated my iPod with his Strobelight Seduction release.  My love for the music brought me to Mansion to experience his magic live. He threw down his tracks up front, but then quickly took us on a ride of house and feel good tracks that had my dress shoes dancing the whole night.  A set at Ultra Music Festival followed in 2010 and he tripped out the entire crowd in just under an hour. After going two for two in a matter of a few months, I dubbed him the Rainbow Unicorn. Why?  His rare ability to keep the energy high, keep it fun and simply unafraid to show the entire room a good time.  Heading to NYC my friends and I were calling the show the Psychedelic Unicorn Party due to the addition of Infected Mushroom on the bill.  Kaskade just released Dynasty and pretty much sent a full stampede of Rainbow Unicorns across the Roseland to trample us with intense tracks and left everyone begging for more.  A night burned into my memory forever...my friends dancing...making new ones...and a shared love of music in one large room.  So here is my rendering of the Rainbow Unicorn, squared up for anyone to use as iTunes art, etc.  Please visit Kaskade's MySpace for upcoming shows and more information.  -Brett
