Once we ran a contest in the Adobe After Effects group on vkontakte. All the participants make one video imagery by turn (3 seconds each), adding to it his own part and sending the project to the other. The most interesting thing was a condition that banned using importing files (video, pictures and sound). And the program is for making video from some material! So, only means of After Effects should have been used (effects, solids, masks and text). Finally there were an unusual, very diverse from the point of view of the form and the content video imagery.
Well, recently I’ve begun to use a new version of a popular VJ soft and I was impressed by new possibilities and greater similarity with cut programs. Besides using of a prepaid video and camera’s signal it is possible to use so-called solid (just a particular colour or gradient fill) and use some effects. So, I’ve remembered the After Effects contest and make the same experiment with Resolum!
So, it is something like a VJ has suddenly forgotten his material and tries to find a way out. Or if you are a DJ and you should get sounds from Abelton for example, not importing music there.
P.S. the video is a little bit fast, that’s why it is difficult to watch it, but everybody interested will have to watch with pauses.
