h0ffman DJ set with laser visuals by Polynomial - NOVA Demoparty 2020

I put together some laser visuals for a DJ set by h0ffman, for NOVA Demoparty 2020 - http://novaparty.org/

This was a lot of fun to make. Everything you see here is custom content and was manually synced by hand. The timeline contained around 4150 events by the time I was done and it took around 20 hours of sync work in total - due to the music being having a lot of variation and small details there was almost no room for copying and pasting to speed up the process. I finished it at 10am on Friday after an all-nighter, got a little under four hours sleep, then got up to help run the party. Exhausting but worth every minute.

The software I used is Pangolin BEYOND Essentials. The lasers are a Kvant Clubmax 2000 and 520laser Club 2000, controlled by a pair of Pangolin FB3 ILDA controllers. The fogger was an Equinox Vapour 1000. The video was recorded using a slightly broken Logitech C920 webcam with a horizontal line of dead pixels, which I had to cut out of the footage, hence the little visual discontinuity.

The DJ set is by my good friend h0ffman! Check out his streams at   / djh0ffman

This got a lot more attention than I expected, and a lot of people have asked questions about reusing this video for various things, so here are my general answers:

NO DERIVATIVE WORKS. This means you can't just upload this video or parts of it to YouTube with your own music over the top. YouTube will copyright-strike you for it if you try. I used to be more relaxed on this but after more than a hundred people ripped the content (almost always without credit) I'm fed up of dealing with it. Don't become the next channel to get banned for ripping off other people's work.

No commercial or promotional use. If you're getting paid, or you're acting on behalf of a for-profit organisation, that's commercial.

If you're live-streaming an amateur DJ set on Twitch or a similar service, you can play this video in the background (e.g. via greenscreen or on a monitor/projector) as long as you provide explicit credit within the video itself (e.g. an overlay) and include a link to this video in the stream description. It should go without saying, but "credit to their respective owners" or similar does not count as giving credit. Please note that VODs or recordings consisting solely of this video content with music on top would be considered a derivative work, which is not allowed.
