Week 9 Lab Task

• Hand in Assignment 2!


• A few people have submitted, and I have taken note of who submitted on time.


• There are a bunch of people who have requested an extension until Friday, and seeing that so many people have not submitted yet, I am extending the deadline for Assignment 2 until Friday 26th, at Midnight.


• If you have already submitted, you can ignore this, or re-work any part of your submission that you would like to.

"Make a Radio" Tutorial

A short tutorial at making a radio. Showing modelling techniques, similar to the basketball tutorial.

Week 8 Lab Task

• Get your tutor to read through your concept, and look at the short clips that you have made so far.


• Continue working on your short animations, and combining your content into one long music video.


• You may consider throwing together a rough story-board for your final animation, so you have a series of images to work towards. It can be hard conceptualising a whole video in your head.

Week 7 Lab Task

• Use Resolume to create five 20 second animations combining your partners, and your own content together, playing on the idea of abstracting your architectural idea into a cohesive state. You will most probably end up with some fairly frenetic videos, that you can use to colour your final animation.


• Gather 15 images that relate to your concept of the architectural.


• Continue rendering out videos from Max to use in your final music video compilation.


• With your music start experimenting with piecing your videos and images together using the beat of your music for cues for events to happen in your video.

Week 6 Lab Hexagon Lattice

Here's a more complicated tutorial that makes a easily modifiable hexagonal lattice. The hardest thing about this tutorial is following what he does in the video, but it has some very handy modelling tricks in it.

Week 6 Studio Task

Change of plans!

The only way to get sound into Resolume is by using an analogue input, or through midi. I thought it was possible to mix within Resolume, but was mistaken. I got a little confused with the program functionality.


So now we are going to use Resolume as a middle-man tool, to create quick edited videos, which we will then edit using a video editing program.

• Run through the simple tutorials from these websites:
  Cool Crystal
  Basketball Tutorial
  Simple abstract animation
  Creating a Tree with the Particle System


• These tutorials should be fairly basic for most of you, but should give you a few clues about how to use some of the sub-object tools, giving you greater control over your modelling.


• Make three 20 second clips from Max, testing some of your learnt skills, and exploring your theme on architecture, as written in your 100 words.
