Description

Creative VJ online course – At the crossroads between DJing, live cinema and the visual arts, VJs create live performances using video to create a heightened experience of music. This creative practice originated in club culture but we now see VJs in a wide range of venues, from art exhibitions to box-office theatres and of course music events.

Throughout the next six weeks, we will take you on a tutor-led journey into Resolume and reinforce your learning with live tutorial sessions.  We will look beyond the software itself and show you how to set up live streams, record high-quality VJ sets and even use Resolume to create your own visual content for both your own use and how and where you can share your own visual clips online. 6 x 2-hour sessions (12hours). Maximum 7 learners (Course run over Zoom.).

Throughout the course, you will be able to use the fully functioning Demo version of Resolume if you don’t want to buy it (all it does is watermark your output, but doesn’t stop you from learning the software).

Sessions are run on Zoom and are recorded so you can “catch up” on missed sessions or watch again.

Learners must be Adults (18+).

Creative VJ – online tutors

Tony Coleman first caught the visuals bug with the beginning of the Commodore 64 demo scene, hanging out with the prolific demo scene creators Ian & Mic in Basildon in the 1980’s and feel in love with electronic music throughout the same period. Utilising a Commodore Amiga he created his own software and produced VHS video cassettes to mix at a local nightclub and decided he wouldn’t pay to get into another venue again (something he’s achieved to date).

Michelle Ferguson has been a creative writer and performer for over a decade. Producing her own projection-mapped theatre as well as performing live at many events throughout.
