Week 18: Blocking Plus & VJing

Acting Blocking plus

For the 2nd pass, I turned the head towards the camera more, keeping the eyes locked towards the ‘friend’ that the character is saying the line to.

Using a constrained empty object at the nose tip, I got a motion trail and fixed the arcs on its movement.

I also added exaggeration to the body movements to improve the moment when the character shouts.

Resolume: VJ

I’ve always wanted to learn a MIDI controller for music, but using it for video was even better than my expectations.

I tried to experiment by making a composition using the default clips available in Resolume and syncing it with electronic music, playing it simultaneously while changing the visuals based on rhythm and beats.

Key Learnings –

  • We learnt how to map the keyboard and MIDI keys with different controllers in Resolume.
  • How to import different clips into Resolume and add transition effects.
  • Using sliders and dials to control speed, opacity, scale and other properties of clips.
