DVD OD. OPTICAL DEILUSION PATERSON

The last one is more of a performance “desire” than an actual technical requirement. But if you can't meet the first three, don't bother buying this DVD. As a Verizon customer, I'm basically hosed. While I love the service, they make it very difficult to get files from a computer into the phone.

Then we need to talk about the technical requirements for producing the effect. If you know your way around a camcorder and video and graphics editing software, it won't take too much time and effort. Otherwise, you'll have to find someone to help you. I suggest checking a local college or fine arts program.

So, basically, it's a pain in the butt to make into a reality. Is it worth it? If it fits your performing style, then I'd say yes. Not only is the effect interesting, you have a wonderful marketing opportunity to email the final photo to the person that helped you.

The DVD covers video and graphics production in good detail. Even if you're using different software, it should be straightforward.

As a bonus, the author's card force is probably worth the price of this video. And the Bonus Ideas section gives plenty of options for how to use the same principles for slightly different effects.
