Can't wait for part 3 in 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to break this down and not in a condescending way but in a way that proves you are a true artist, wanting to enable others and spread the love. I am really looking forward to creating some cool visuals. thanks again!!!

My new pursuit, thanks for sharing

Always a treat to watch your videos and learn some things, Steve👍🏻

Thanks for part 2!

Thanks for the part two! The first part actually became like a holy guide for me for a long time! Awesome work that you have been doing!

The first video got me started a few months ago. Looking out for more projectors now! Thank you for this!

I’m intrigued.

Superb Steve. Thank you for demystifying this beautiful artform

Awesome. Thank you so much for the names of pioneers at the end, that's incredibly helpful

I just got my first overhead projector as an early Mother’s Day gift and these videos have been so helpful already! Thanks so much, can’t wait to learn more!

That's what I was looking for! Thanks a million for spreading your knowledge for free!

Love it

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. All the best

Thanks Steve for your time.

Extremely helpful and comprehensive ~ thanks for sharing 👍

this is really cool. thanks!

Thankyou for your time and commitment Steve!!

Muy bueno el video steve, Me viene muy bien este material! Gracias

Love Liquid Lights 🌈 👀 💡

Totally agree. Nothing digital can have that natural flowing effect the liquid and light gives...beautiful stuff...I wish they still used these at certain concerts 😅

Thank you so much you just blew my mind!! This is exactly what I needed to see for some ideas I have!

Thats the exact projector that I picked up today! for a sweet price too.

My dad used to run a small outfit in London that toured Europe ("MUSHROOM"), and he's regaled me with stories of his glory days doing that, "earning a week's wages for a day's work in Amsterdam!" Thanks for producing this, so I can see what he did preserved. I'd love to try my hand it myself one day, just for the fun of seeing what he used to do.

Hey man! Love your videos. They have been very informative. I just bought my first over head projector. Could you give me some tips on how to make some dyes? Thanks!

Very cool. I love your work! I am a digital VJ who wants to make some liquid light VJ loops. I bought the overhead projector, oils, and glass clock face cover. Just have to figure out the best weay to film them. Was thinking about a go-pro on some table-fastened overhead arm and hope the focus works out. I saw a photo of someone who rigged camers over two liquid light overhead projection surfaces and then ran the two live feeds through their Edirol VJ mixer and out to another projector. It seems like you have a set-up for filming that looks interesting. I look forward to learning more from your videos!

Fantastic, very artistic and beautiful

Thanks for sharing can't wait for the shop to be restocked. I'll be waiting in line at the front door ;-). Trying to incorporate some the techniques you've shared into Snoezelen Multi-Sensory Environments for kids

I finally found an overhead projector to try this Art. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Can you please tell me what kind of liquid did you use and where should I found them?

Really nice introduction, thanks al lot!

Ok were coming to see it liiive! (:

I love for the black out you suggest using a bill!!

holy shit, a new hobby!

Cool

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! In germany you could just go to a public school and ask them for a used OHP as they been replaced with digital projectors more and more ;) One thing i can't really imagine is how to use this setup with OHPs for a live music show, as the projectors have to be in front of the stage and would block the view for the audience on the musicians? Or could you even use a transparent plastic sheet and do the projection from behind / the back of the stage?

I was trying to explain to a friend what this was like live, and they didn't get it until I showed this video. Good times

como hace que el tinte graso rojo y el azul no se mezclen? me encanta su trabajo

Great simple tutorial and concepts to get a simple manual "wet show" started. Steve and LLL is the real deal and employs some of the best ideas, techniques and equip to keep this art form alive... To my knowledge, one of the first liquid light or wet shows were done in 1965 on the West Coast and in 1966 in England, obviously with Mike Leonard and The Pink Floyd taking the early shows to the stages over in Europe and then in America during their 1967 tour. The old light show pioneers were The Joshua Light Show, North Americanabis Alchemical Co., Head Lights, Diogene Lantern Works, Trans-Love up in Detroit in the US and the other odd bunch acid heads over in Europe who did the shows there back in the 60's. Of course there are many more tips and tricks to accentuate and really make this art form breathe and react like it's plugged into the music. You can use syringes, straws and multi-projector setups and layered clock crystals for individuals who have more than 2 arms. Best to have a multi-person team if you want to get serious and perform light these shows. If you want to just lay back relax, listen to music and pretend it's 1968, take the easy way out and buy an overpriced rotating wheel projector to do the work. I won't mention any names...

yessssss

Thank you so much for sharing this, it is amazing and I am so fascinated by your practice! I was wondering, as I want to use this technique for an interdisciplinary project in a theatre... how wide do you think that these overhead projectors can throw? Have you ever tried to project from a led light board as the one you used in your other video, feeding real time from the camera?

Hi Steve - years ago in the nineties my band then acquired a device that I am desperately trying to recreate. Unfortunately, someone did not appreciate how magnificent this thing was and broke it. It was homemade from an old slide projector that had a slow turning motor that turned a disc made of a thin plexiglass/glass material that the light shined through. It could be focused as the disc rotated through the the position where the slides would be. The disc had 3 or 4 layers of plastic that held some kind of oils between. The absolute brilliance of the guy that made it - I've never seen another. It was an awesome liquid light show that one could just set up and leave running for hours. Have you ever seen one like that? I can manage the projector and maybe the glass, but what are the oils someone would use for something like this? They always separated nicely and when the different layers mixed they made awesome new colors.

Thanks so much for sharing all of this info. I printed out some patterns and photos on transparency paper. They worked great but the ink ran off of them after a bit of moisture got between them. Is there any treatment you would recommend giving them to help seal the ink? I’m thinking of lamenting them next time.

Very good instructional video, I'm working on a light show for my music set, I'm interested in the origins of the psychedelic pioneers such as Mike Leonard. I think I'm going to be adding a oil wheel projector too my modern LED stage rig, I'm hoping one will do it but some say you need more, I would be very interested in knowing what you think about this. Thanks in advance.

Thank You! Could you do an episode on slide projector techniques?

Hello, My first projector has just arrived, but it only displays black and white. Do you have any ideas about that? There appear to be no controls to adjust which would affect the colour display.

Hi, thanks a bunch for these videos! What are the drawbacks of using an LED plane and a camera + projector instead of the "oldschool" projector?

You said that a projector with 2 or 3k lumens are not that bright, how much lumens do you think that is good enough? Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for making these. I'm desperatly on the lookout for overhead projectors, they're so hard to find. Do you have a brand or model that you recommend that has an optimal amount of lumens?

I'm wondering what material you use to make the round mask frame? Very cool videos, thank you!

hi! i've got a question for you, i tried googling but couldn't find anything. I've got my overhead projector and clock glass and oil dyes and it looks great on the plate, but coming through the projector there's very little color, its basically black and white. even when the dye gets really thin its still not showing. have you seen this before? is there anything i can do?

Woah, which equipment do you use to project the image?, it's a camera like a gopro connected to a projector?. Subscribbed, I'm gonna try this for sure.

i really want to get into this just as a hobby.

can the patterns be printed onto the overhead slides using a computer printer? Do you have a store? Thanks for keeping this art form alive

Hi! So I was checking your website for the ourchase of some stuff. I am curious what kind of projector could I use (instead of the overhead one) in order to be compatible with mobile phones and cameras and have a high resolution at the same time.. since most of the projectors at the end do not provide the quality described. Do you have any digital projector that you could suggest?

would you recommend liquid die for candle making? or food coloring is better?

It might be interesting to put the projector on a subwoofer or transducer to let the sound play into it a bit.

Nice video. Verry handy. By exploring this art. unfortunately you are out off stock oil dye. Trying now to make them bij my selfe..

I'm actually shopping a couple overheads now, I see a few online used for around 75-150. If I were to do it, what lumens do you recommend to get professional with this?

Hi, is it possible to modify an overhead projector to have higher lumen output?

Thank you for this great, informative video! Are you on Instagram?

Do you think there could be a way to get the water/oil to move to vibrations, while still using the petri dish method?

Hi can you please help me where can I buy the translucent sheets you used with the black and white pattern on them the two sheets that you overlapped over each other where can I purchase those??

What are the transparency sheets that you used in the beginning. A Morey??

What do you call those optical illusion b\w Transparencies

Does anyone here have any good info about how to install a dimmer switch on overhead/slide projectors? I am new to electronics and hoping for a safe/easy method to dim my projectors for combined fields.

Is there an alternative to an overhead projector? I am a traveler and cannot use overhead P....need something smaller.

In this and your other videos you keep calling them "Clock Glass" which might be the case that some of these come from large clocks, but most commonly these large concave glass dishes are known as "Watch Glasses" used in Chemistry, mostly. They come quite large and can be found reasonably priced: a dozen 300mm watch glasses in the $250 range. I have also seen glass dinning plates used for this as well.

Does anyone know what kind of colored oil is best to use? Is it Paraffine oil died with candle color dye?

where can I buy 360W 82V Bulbs? I am in australia

Ur shirt is creating a video moire bro!

Why have I never seen this in all my years?

For some reason the colors don't show up on my projection. When I hold transparent colored plastic it shows, but not when I pour color into water its all just grey. How can I solve this problem?

Candles paint is good..?..

Use playback speed 1.5

The 5th impractical joker

Stop talking and show it

Hello, friend! I want to buy your packs but I think my overhead projector doesn't project the colors. Which one do you use? Is there one that you recommend to me? Could you help me with that? I'm attentive, thank you! 🌀🪽
