In today’s session, we explored the fundamentals of VJing using Resolume Arena, focusing on how to integrate a MIDI controller for live visual performances. Key areas covered included clip triggering, layer management, and applying effects within Resolume, alongside mapping MIDI hardware to enable intuitive, real-time control.
We also learned how to customize the workspace to suit individual workflows, such as assigning keyboard keys to trigger specific clips. This foundational training provides essential skills that will support more advanced creative approaches in upcoming projects.
Project Progress:
Arpit was responsible for creating and editing the main glitch effect in After Effects. He carefully added all the necessary visual effects to achieve the desired glitch style, which is a central part of our project’s look. After completing the glitch sequences, he exported the video and sent the file to me.
Once I received the video, I imported it into Premiere Pro to continue the post-production process. There, I worked on color grading to enhance the overall mood and atmosphere of the footage. I also adjusted the timing and lengths of different clips to improve the pacing and flow. Finally, I applied sound that I had downloaded which was a copyright free music track that suits the theme on the final animation.
After completing these steps, I exported the finished video, ready for submission.
