Robots in Disguise

VJ crew with Toby Harris — seven years of live visuals at some pretty great shows around the country

When: c. 1996
Role: VJ
Outcome: NASTA winner of Best Title Sequence 2000 with Toby Harris as VJ crew "Robots in Disguise".

For about seven years or so, I was a spare time VJ and performed live visuals at some pretty great shows around the country. It was great fun, if a little tiring to drag several VHS decks, projects, vision mixers, desktop computers (it was a mac G3 back then) and tons of cables around the country. These days you see this kind of thing being achieved off the back of an iphone…

Stef's awards page names the crew and an award: "NASTA winner of Best Title Sequence 2000 with Toby Harris as VJ crew 'Robots in Disguise'."
