Concert Industry rolling - 2009

Despite the economy in a deep recession, advertising budgets being slashed, VFX artists being asked to do more with less, pump out more work and get paid the same, the concert industry is holding strong.  Right now there is a plethora of people all over the world creating moving graphics for commercials, trailors, titles, 3d work etc. and it's getting easier and easier to grab an after effects template, customize it a bit and export a logo or 3d graphic you might need. While designers will always be needed, and most can't do what a good designer or VFX artist does, one also has to recognize that the industry as a whole is changing so fast, with custom web driven content and concerts leading the pack, and the eventual fullscale mobile device assault.  On the flipside there are only 3 or 4 VJs (DJ Girltalk, etc) from the United States making any noise, yet what about all these people with amazing VFX skills?  The mashups are just the beginning, kind of like what wingdings were to entry level designers 15 years ago.  We see all kinds of amazing visuals, but also many cheezy loops with dancing bears or beating hearts, and not many people have figured out how to tell a story visually with music and visuals in a live concert setting.  I envision a future where people are cutting animations, claymation, stop motion photography you name it for more robust concert experiences. 

What if studios like Stardust or Psyop had departments dedicated to creating and licensing visuals for live events?
