Todd Mitchum
Seminar I Video
Sid Vanderpool-Editor
The one thing I
hate is dropping money on tapes or videos and ending up getting
nothing from them. You drop the money and pop it in to hear some guy
doing a 25 minute infocommercial without giving something you can use
in the REAL world. I have been a Dj for 24 years and I have seen most
everything, so it's hard to teach this dog new tricks.
In reviewing Todd
Mitchum's video for Seminar 1, I can seriously say I got a ton of
ideas out of it; some of which I immediately applied to my events. I
found it brought up usable ideas and concepts that come from a very entertainment-worldly
man. Todd opens up your eyes and gives you a new view on ordinary
things we all do at gigs. He then teaches you how to do them better.
You wont have to steal your competitors interactives anymore because
Todd will walk you through the steps to creating your own
interactives that are unique to your company. His techiques can be
continuosly used to keep your shows fresh and viberant.
You get the full
seminar, not a 15 min. shorty like you see on so many "DJ how
to" videos, it is almost 2 hours long!
The only thing I
found wrong with this video was the poor production. It suffered from
poor lighting, poor sound, and poor editing. You could see and hear
everything, but it was not the best quality. Maybe it was an artistic
"Blair Witch" thing, but coming from someone that does his
own video editing, it was slightly annoying. It's like an old car I
had. It did not look like much, but it sure ran great.
All I can say is
the production may not win an Oscar, but the content could.
"The
content was VERYuseful to me. He covered a number of things I
kind of do right now, BUT he definitely reminded me of stuff I SHOULD
be doing (but have neglected, cause of laziness or
forgetfulness). I am planning to put into action a number of
his techniques. So, I am glad I bought them; even though the
price is a little higher than I would want to pay for a videotape -
but hey! I'm cheap; I'm a dj."
