This book, fully supervised by D-Fuse, a leading VJ from the UK, introduces a total of 128 VJs from around the world, including the United States, Europe, Canada, Finland, Venezuela, Japan (16 groups), and China. It covers a wide range of topics, such as the roots of VJing, hardware, software, and various VJ styles, with rich content. Although the entire book is written in English, it is very well-designed, so even if you don't understand English, it's still enjoyable. It features Coldcut, Hexstatic, as well as UVA, who is attracting attention for their visuals for U2, Massive Attack, and Trevor Jackson, and Addictive TV, who organizes VJ festivals. It is considered to be the most complete VJ-related book published to date. It introduces the audio-visual technology they develop and use. From explanations of equipment (hardware and software) and typical stage setups (equipment descriptions, how to use space, how to create an environment suitable for the audience), it provides tips for mastering performances. Interfaces, videos, and interviews can be viewed on the included DVD. There is also a wealth of information on computer graphics, video production, sound production, and more.
