We have finally ditched the old XMB forum for a brand new phpBB3 release! The conversion was a real pain in the butt and unfortunately not everything could be converted. Most notably; all avatars are lost so consider this a good opportunity to create a new one ;-) If there are any other issues we have overlooked then please let us know and we,ll try to fix it.

The most fun new feature of this forum is that you can now post YouTube videos! So go ahead and post videos of laughing babies in the YouTube thread ;-)

Have a look at the demo of VJ Hummer (Drifter TV aka Nils Muhlenbruch). He produces short films and videoclips as well as animated graphics for VJ purposes. The VJ Shows of VJ Hummer are a mix of crazy cartoony characters, animated TV content and abstract visuals.

Did you know that with 17,075,400 square kilometres, Russia is by far the largest country in the world, covering more than an eighth of the Earth's land area. And with 142 million people, it is the ninth largest by population. It extends across the whole of northern Asia and 40% of Europe, spanning 11 time zones and incorporating a great range of environments and landforms. Russia has the world's largest mineral and energy resources, and is considered an energy superpower. It has the world's largest forest reserves and its lakes contain approximately one-quarter of the world's unfrozen fresh water. Amazing! And thanks to VJ DP there is now even a Russian Resolume manual! Thanks Nikolay!

2007 is almost over, we hope you had a great year, we sure did even-though we could not tell anyone that we are working on. That's why we can't wait for 2008, we are working on some great stuff together with two extra amazing programmers so 2008 is going to be an exciting year!

Because we love you all so much we would like to give you all a Christmas present. We had to travel deep into the forests of Belgium to find a good location to shoot this sparkling footage but it was well worth the trouble.

As requested by many, it also includes last year's Christmas present, the 12-o'clock countdown flash movie. We hope you all enjoy your new year's eve gig/party!

Du hast die Haare schön, du hast die Haare schön du hast du hast, du hast die Haare schön. That's pretty much all the German we speak ... eerhm ... sing. So luckily [email]7.dos@gmx.de[/email] helped us with the German manual. Tja dabei ist alles.

Eiskristall is a great a AV piece composed live by Robert Heel with a combination of DVD players, Resolume and feedback trough a V4. Enjoy!

LED screens are every VJ's wet dream because of their enormous brightness and saturation of colours. This Resolume T-shirt is an homage to the LED light. This high quality American Apparel T-shirt is the softest, smoothest, best-looking T-shirt available. We have printed only a small batch of 60 so be quick on this one!

We really do not speak Catalan ourself either but 9.1 million people do and if you are one of them then have a look at our Catalan manual. Translated by Oscar Vaquero Viñes. Thank you so much Oscar!
