Hello everybody! I'm STV and we are in Motion… In this tutorial we're going to take a look
at our newest pack "OrnaMental" I'm about to show you how I prepare a deck
for a show, how to make some visual audio-reactive, how to create loop variation using the
Resolume built-in tools, and for dessert we'll see what effects can
give us even more variations and turn this look into something completely
new, shiny, glowing in the dark. alright let's start. I like to think about the composition in a cinematic way, meaning, it has a "Background" & "Foreground", it has "Center" and it has "Sides". let's start with a Center, this can be a Center, and... this can be a
Background for it. If you wanna add a Foreground - this is in
the Foreground and... we can add some stuff in the Sides, this one or this one to go and come in. This will aid me in creating
clear and interesting compositions and hopefully, not overload the output - like some VJs do... but not you of course. I'm taking advantage of the DXV3 codec in
Resolume that can contain Alpha Channels clips with alpha channels have built-in transparency. No more "Auto Mask", "Luma Key" or using Blending Modes - unless you want to use them. You can get a clean look - similar to broadcast
look - in real-time. Alright, let's build a new deck from scratch, We'll start with importing loops, let's take 01 to 10 first and we'll take 11 to 20 and put them below. Next stage, we're gonna to put the layers
in their right places: This one is a Center layer - we can put it
in the Center. This one in the Center as well, let's put it in the Center layer. This one is a Background - let's put it in
the Background below. This one is another Center loop - let's put it in its place. This one is Center as well. This is a Background loop. Center - you can see that the center loops are not touching the edges. This is a Background loop. This is a background, as well. Background loops are filling the whole frame… This is a background, as well, and Center loops - they are intact. This one is a Center, as well, let's place
it here. This one can be a Foreground, let's put it here. This is another Center layer. This one can be "in Motion". This one can be a Background. and another... Sides. This one is another Background. This one should be a Background. Another Background layer. and... this is a Center element. Great. Now, let's scale down all the center elements, cause when I created them - I created them
to fill all the screen, almost, and we don't need them that big, so, 70% is enough for this kind of layer, to fit well in the composition. I'm control + dragging a layer, Duplicating it, and I would like to give it a bounce - using
the BPM sync. Let's set the maximum size to 130, and the minimum size to about 60. Let it bounce. One more important thing is to give it a little bit of ease in and ease out - which will make it really bouncy. That's great. Now, I gonna repeat this process for each
one of these layers on the center I’ve repeated this process and now I've got the original layer and next to it the bouncy
layer I can choose the speed of the bounce - by
dividing or multiplying the beat. When the clips are set this way, I can use the original clip when the music is slow, and I can use the bouncy version when the
beat drops, or when the music is really intense. Now, let's set up the next layer “In Motion" layer For this clip I'm going to change the "Rotation Z" to 90 and I'm going to deal with the layer itself: I'm going to change the transfer setting for
"Position X" I'm going to get it and drag it to the right and now when the layers is on the right I'm going to find the effect "Mirror" and I'm going to drag it below the transform
properties I'm going to activate the mirror, to split it in half, and now if I'm moving the "X Position" - it
can animate. let's see... 450 pixels to about 700 pixels, let's automate it now: So, first, of course, "Easing in" and "Easing
Out" to make it bouncy, and BPM sync. let's set it to what we saw before: it was
about 450 and the end is going to be about 700 and the last thing we're going to make it
bounce now we have a nice animation on this layer If we take a different clip and we'll drop
it on the same layer it will still retain this animation let's try another clip for instance. Control + Dragging to copy and now we can already see some composition
building up It's starting to get interesting And really, from now on it's just pure fun You just choose clips and you see what happens let's try this one I love it when the center bounces and the
side moves together... so beautiful and all the transport animation is done by
the software itself I will repeat this process of "Trial and Error" loading clips to my "in motion" layer, and
seeing what happens and let's do it really fast. I've loaded a few clips to the "in Motion"
layer let's see how it looks with a Center element and really, all I did was to take a clip place it on the "in Motion" layer, put some background, put some center element and see how it works together. Let's add some background element and this is the same layer - just with a rotation
on the Z So, we're starting to see a really nice composition that you can build live... and I think it's time to move to the "Foreground"
layer. Foreground layers can be simply in the foreground and we're gonna have a background element
behind them. They can, as well, reveal the background - as we can see with this clip: let's put a "Ying Yang" and another background
behind it and let it reveal it, just like this. That's an interesting way to use it, or we can take a particular clip and... do something very similar to what we did in
the "in Motion" layer, but we're going to do it only on the clip
itself. Let's take this clip and change the rotation then on "Position Y" We're gonna drag it upwards and drop our "Mirror" It's important to make sure that the mirror
is below the transport and we're gonna put a mirror and then on the transport settings we're going to find what is exactly the height that we would like to have it and this is, like, -350 and up to -500 let's create an animation here dragging the "Easy Ease in" and "Ease out" and going to BPM sync, you know the drill: this is going to be -3500 and this going to be -500 Let it is bounce I'm about to find out what other layers fit in our foreground layer and... we'll be back. I've created some variations on our Foreground
layer, let's go through them and see some of them. Some of them are bouncing - like these ones it can work well with a Center element this clip can go away with this clip some of the clips I made to just rotate and to not bounce like this one, or this one. Let's add an element to it some of the layers are left as they are, just to reveal something behind them. This one can work well with the "Yin & Yang" This is another original file, I found it's nice to have it reveal what's
inside. This is another interesting example: I just used half a circle, and using a mirror, and changing the "Y position" I made it to reveal, it's like a "hatch" in the screen - that the things can be inside it. And this is another example. Some other interesting combinations we can create: let's see this one, let's "Solo" this layer so you can see exactly: this is a layer, I just changed the position
& rotation the layer below it - also change of position
& rotation along with a mirror and I can trigger both of the layers by "Column
Trigger" and let's see how it mixes and speaking of the "Column Trigger" sometimes you just want to change everything in just one click - so you can use the column
trigger and if you prearrange the visuals in the right
slots you can get really nice combinations ready made with just one click I've excluded the Foreground layer from the
column by "Ignore Column Triggering", because I don't want to overload the composition I can always add the foreground layer later Alrighty, we've digested quite a lot here it's time to move on to the dessert: let's see what the effects we can use - to make this awesome look - look totally different. I've found that adding a "Drop Shadow" to
the composition really enhances and gives a fake depth let's take this "Drop Shadow" and drop it on each one of the layers you can download the drop shadow effect on
Resolume's website I'll give a link in the description And straight away, it gives more depth, really subtle shadow but it really helps to give a fake volume and to differentiate between the layers I can give the composition more depth if I change the black background - to something
different let's open another layer by inserting a layer
below the background let's add a solid, a "solid color" to the first slot let's change this red color, let's decrease the saturation to 0 and lower the brightness and get it a little bit like "Grayish" then let's add from the effects the "Vignette" and... drop it on the clip I like it I just like it like this we could end the tutorial here and that's
it but let's try and get some colors - into the
composition let's open a webpage with "Adobe Color" to have the color wheel in front of us and we can choose between "Analog", "Monochromatic", "Triad" and so on.... I like, for some reason, "Compound" if I will spin the wheel - that's what will
happen when I will "Hue Rotate" later I like this color scheme I will try to imitate it now on Resolume Back on Resolume, let's close this gray background
layer and let's add an "Edge Detection" "Edge Detection" just stays the way it is let's drop a "Tint" effect in the "Tint" effect, we'll leave the opacity
at 1 "Black Hue" is 0.68 "Black saturation" 0.68, as well "Black Brightness" is 0.05 "White Hue" is 0.68 "White Saturation" 0.65 and "White Brightness" 0.88 Next one will be "Exposure" The "Exposure" we're gonna set it at 1 and we're gonna add another exposure - to take out the whites and we're gonna set it at 0.75 and we're gonna drop "Hue Rotate" in the end of the stack and set it to 0.20 this will be the pink color that we have on
the color wheel and now I will go and copy the effects from this layer - the background layer and I will copy them to all of my other layers We're back... we have.... each one of the layers has all the effects
on it in the same stacking let's take the Center layer and change its "Hue Rotation" to be turquoise,
dark turquoise 0.80 this is the color let's take another layer the "In Motion" layer and change the "Hue Rotate" for this layer,
as well, to 0.63 to get the green and the last layer will be our "Foreground" and we'll change it to be the purple 0.06. great. Now that we have this Color Scheme we can take a "Hue Rotate" drop it on the Composition and now if we'll move the "Hue Rotate" We'll have the same color scheme like we did before and it looks beautiful. We can up the saturation scale a little bit if we want it even more saturated and the best part is that if you want it "Analogous"
or "Monochromatic" We can just reduce the "Hue Scale" and have a main color - a very important thing when you're trying to create a harmony with
the "Light Jokey" OK, so let's wrap it up: I've showed you today how to prepare a deck
for a show We've learned how to create an appealing composition by setting the layers to be "Background" or "Foreground", "Center" or "Sides" We learned how to duplicate clips and make
clip variations in order to add versatility to your deck and
enjoy playing. how to make some of the clips audio-reactive ready for that "Beat Drop" and... it's gonna
come. and how to stack effects, in order to colorize and make a look that fits one style of music, fit other styles of music. I'm sure you can come up with more tricks
& looks just by spending some time trying-out different
combinations with different styles of music to me preparation is key A well-prepared VJ can express himself and
the music better and faster. Go out there and amaze the crowds. Make it a night they will not forget. Spread your love for visuals to your viewers, and make it a colorful world. I'm STV, and today we were "in Motion" Check out our website at stvinmotion.com
