Learn the technical magic of Projection Mapping for Live Performances and Installations from LAVA Director and Artist Eddy Vajarakitipongse

1 Workshop every other SATURDAY:

• Resolume Arena 101: starting May 16th: 11am - 2pm

These are 3-hour live online workshops designed for visual artists to start projection mapping and performing visuals live using RESOLUME ARENA and AV Mixer Pro. You will also learn how to apply this knowledge to other opportunities such as stand-alone art installations and event activations.

This will be a live interaction so you can ask questions along the way.

At the completion, you will have a good understanding of Resolume Arena workflows and environment including scene building, methodologies, techniques, and physical environment logistics.

Requirements

Previous experience is NOT required. However, previous usage of VJ softwares, editing softwares, and 2D/3D motion design softwares is a plus.

You will need the following to participate in the workshop:

• A recent laptop/computer with dedicated GPU (highly recommended if possible: use a second monitor for the workshop live stream so you can see my interface and yours independently)

• VJ Software (AVmixer Pro, Resolume Arena…)

• An external 3 button mouse

• A USB MIDI controller (optional)

*Highly recommend to have a 2nd monitor so you can see both the live stream and your screen simultaneously to follow along*

A handful of video loops provided with love by AVloops will be emailed prior.

As a special gift, attendees will also receive a complimentary FULL license of AV Mixer Pro developed by LAVA co-founder James Cui aka VJ fader.

Resolume Arena is one of most popular professional live performance (video and lighting) softwares available in the market today. With a large active user community, it makes Resolume Arena a solid choice for visual artists to experiment and start using it as their live performance tool.
