Mark Hilson - Function Disc Jockey from Manchester's Unit One EntertainmentMark Hilson - Video Disc Jockey - Biography
Mark is regularly described as the best DJ we’ve ever had, a consummate professional, my favourite DJ, highly recommended, the ‘good time vendetta’ DJ, hard working, tireless and totally committed to customer satisfaction”. His disco roadshow is called 'The Video Roadshow' and is very high tech and up to the minute with the latest in A/V entertainment equipment. Mark can also take pictures for you, of which he will give you a copy the end of the evening. Mark has been DJ'ing since 1983 (he’s older than he looks!) and has always upheld, maintained and lived by a single mantra: It’s your party, tell me what you want!

Additional Information
As a time-served Audio Visual Installation Engineer (see other services), Mark offers one of the North West's Video Disco Shows. Billed as one of the most visually spectacular mobile presentations currently available, these shows boast state-of-the-art technologies and are available to suit three budgetary brackets.

Video DJ (VDJ) with Wi-Fi photography
This incorporates all of the show of the DJ Only package and in addition includes x1 5’ x 3.5’ dj console positioned rear projection screen. 3000 ANSI lumen projector, ongoing Wi-Fi photography of you and your guests, VDJ visuals (music videos and high definition psychedelic graphics), an active ‘live-feed’ video camera (you and your guests dancing, projected live onto the screen) all switched through the projectors source selection capability. Post event you will receive a CD-R of all photographs taken.

Full Visual Production DJ
This high-end solution incorporates all of the features of the above two packages, where, in addition all visuals now run through a live video production suite rather than being selected via the projector.

This enables smooth transitional switching between sources. Two additional live feed cameras now present differing stage angles (ie, presenter, audience and dancefloor) to the screen. The suite is DVD playback enabled, important if you have a promo/showreel to present, as well as incorporating a live scrolling text capability and full HDD recording of images sent to the screen(s). This can then be burned, post event, in an ‘as seen on the night’ format, onto DVDs.

If the venue is of a large enough size, the projected images will be shown on a 8’ x 6’ rear projected screen with full blue velvet drape kit, rest assured, the show will be optimised to suite your venue.

Important note
To minimise cost, all cameras are positioned in a ‘locked-off-shot’ mode. However should you require, additional camera operators are available for a nominal fee.
