VJ Basics: Introduction to video performance with resolume

4–6pm 13 May or 2-4pm 05 June  2010
Facilitator: Jaymis Loveday
Cost: Free
Bookings: email The Edge

A VJ, or Video Jockey, is an artist who performs with video. It’s like a mixture of video editing, digital art, and playing computer games on stage.

Jaymis has been a VJ for over 10 years, has played all around Australia & Europe, and spent a year touring Aus as the “Visualist” member of Bobby Flynn and the Omega Three.

His software of choice is Resolume, which now works on both PCs and Macs, so we’re able to run a workshop where everyone can use the same software, together!

What you’ll learn:

This workshop will cover the basics of VJing – how digital video works, how VJing software works, how to select, prepare and perform with video clips, and a little on how to work with a laptop, midi controller and projector for live performance.

What you’ll need:

Yourself, and optionally: some video clips you’d like to work with.

    Have been doing self-designed VJ work for a while in live shows
    (under human canvas project)… would have been good to know how it’s done properly…
