As far as equipment, all I ave sofar is Final Cut , Motion, DP, dvd studio.. and no projector yet, but imagine I would need one.

If you want to try using your current software, there is an article by Chris Meyer from some time ago in DV magazine that talks about how to use a MIDI controller to control Motion in real time. It was titled "Make Motion Move" and noted that VJs are starting to use Motion with MIDI. The article also has a mini-review of some inexpensive MIDI controllers that could be used. Here is the link:
