Magmovies in Madrid and around the world

March 7, 2019

Joining us in this post is Madrid based artist Magmovies, another world traveling VJ who truly loves getting to push pixels around the globe. It is always inspiring for us to see people who enjoy this craft so much and for this reason we have been following Laura on social media for a little while now – and we figured it out was about time we had her for an interview so you can enjoy her work as well!


Who are you and what do you do?

Soy Laura Garrido, conocida como Magmovies detrás de los proyectores. Soy videojockey y posproductora desde hace 12 años. Y mi última aventura es combinar esto con la producción audiovisual para museos por el mundo.

My name is Laura Garrido, also known as Magmovies behind projectors. I am a videojockey and postproducer for 12 years now. My last adventure is combine this with AV production for museums all over the world.


What tools (hardware, software, other) do you use in your work?

Actualmente, y desde hace ya mucho tiempo comencé a crear mis sets vj en VDMX, he probado otros, pero este es mi favorito. Lo he acompañado con MadMapper o Millumin, dependiendo de si eran lives o actuaciones más orquestadas. A la fuerza entonces, utilizo MacBok Pro, y lo apoyo con iPad para crear sesiones interactivas en las que el público pueda participar. Para creación de contenido, soy 90% digital y siempre uso After Effects, algunos de mis clientes me llaman sólo por mi trabajo con partículas, para crear escenografías especiales.

Years ago until today, I started creating my VJ sets with VDMX, I tried others, but this is just my favorite. I also use either MadMapper or Millumin, depending on the kind of show: live, events, plays… So I use a MackBook Pro, plus an iPad for interactives experiences to engage with the public.

I use mainly After Effects to create my content; some of my clients actually call me for my work with Particles to create special scenographies.

Después de la residencia en Amnesia Ibiza, decidí dedicarme a crear mi propia marca, donde no solo ofreciera vijing, sino un servicio completo para eventos con producción, diseño gráfico, creación de contenidos y experiencias interactivas.

Tengo suerte, he trabajado para nombre increíbles como Huawei, la Euroliga de Basket, Amnesia claro, Google, Pull&Bear, Madrid World Pride, American Express, Heineken, Monica Naranjo, y con la compañía de teatro Illana, con la que he hecho mis últimas colaboraciones en vivo. La última fue para La Pegatina, un grupo muy divertido, con el que montamos un gran show.

After my vj residency in Amnesia Ibiza, I decided to dedicate myself to create my brand, and not offer just vijing, but a whole event service with production, graphic design, postproduction and interactive experiences.

I am lucky, I have worked for amazing brands as Huawei, Basket Euroleague, Amnesia of course, Google, Pull&Bear, Madrid World Pride, American Express, Heineken, Monica Naranjo, and with the theatre company “Illana” lately, where I have done my latest lives. Last one was a great show for a band called “La pegatina”, a very fun people.

También tengo algunas instalaciones al servicio de Acciona, para los museos Msheireb en Qatar, y otro en Omán. Son proyecciones que perduran en el tiempo, y eso es el sueño de todo vj supongo. Ahora me dedico casi a full time a la producción audiovisual por museos del mundo con ellos, ahora estamos haciendo un pabellón para la Expo 2020 y el museo de Shindagha en Dubai también.

Aunque me sigo escapando para las sesiones VJ y producciones que más me motivan, no las puedo dejar.

I have also done some exhibits for Acciona museums, like Msheireb in Qatar, and others in Oman. These are projections that last in time, that is a vj’s dream I guess. Now I dedicated myself to Av production with them there where is a museum. Now we are making a pavilion for Expo 2020 and the Shindagha museum in Dubai too.

Anyway, I keep vjing everytime that I can, I just can’t give up on it.
