Video Jokey Course with Resolume Arena
Explore the Art of Visual Performance with Resolume Arena
Visual creativity is more than design — it’s an experience.
Whether you’re completely new or already familiar with the world of visual arts, you’re invited into the industry-standard software for live visuals: Resolume Arena.
In this immersive course, you’ll explore the full potential of Resolume’s intuitive interface, powerful effects, and legendary MIDI integrations we often highlight in our trainings. Every button holds a creative possibility — each click unties a visual knot in your imagination.
Crafted with precision, this program gives you a holistic skill set — from understanding the core tools to customizing them around your own creative vision. With moving loops as your brush, Resolume becomes a canvas for personal expression.
This unique course isn’t just a lesson plan — it’s a redefinition of education itself. A balance between play and push, between technical learning and artistic freedom.
