Pre - order a copy today!!! http://www.shantellmartin.com/index.php/site/comments/shantell_martin_releases_first_dvd_pre_order_a_copy_today/ http://www.shantellmartin.com/index.php/site/comments/shantell_martin_releases_first_dvd_pre_order_a_copy_today/#When:11:54:00Z Tokyo-based illustrator-turned-VJ Shantell Martin will release her first DVD, titled KOOB’S, on November 20, 2008 through the lightrhythmvisuals label. Featuring a diverse collection of inventive and playful videos, each backed by an audio track produced by a range of musicians and accompanied by its own special guest VJ remix, the DVD marks a natural progression for the artist, who trained as an illustrator but has since collaborated with fashion designers, magazine publishers, live bands and ceramic artists. “With this DVD I wanted to make work using a diverse mix of media and then share it easily. I also wanted to produce different tracks in a way that anybody could, hoping to inspire people to do it for themselves,” she says. Multi-angle programming allows viewers to interact for a “home VJ experience” by switching between the original tracks and their remixes. Also included are Quicktime clips suitable for VJ software applications.

KOOB’S will be available for US$24.99 at selected music and DVD retailers globally and online at: http://www.lightrhythmvisuals.com/catalog/?p=85
