Introduction to video art with obs crash course

May 2024

led by Andrei Jay

Andrei Jay has been teaching folks video art & video feedback techniques using analog video gear for years. Now for the they will apply the same knowledge and experience they have from the analog realms using the computer program Open Broadcaster Software.

Topics covered:

• usb camera feedback
• screen capture (‘internal’) feedback
• compositing & mixing multiple signals
• video sample playback
• color & geometry processing
• filters & loading custom shaders

***Please note: we will NOT be covering the question “How to capture analog video signals into OBS.”***

This workshop will be 4 nights of hands on classes plus 1 extra session in which folks will share their final projects.

To participate in this class you will need to have

• some kind of computer that is capable of running a fairly recent version of OBS
• A fairly recent version of OBS installed, running, and tested on your computer
• an external webcam (the one built into your laptop will not work), logitech c270 or something similar is ideal. Don’t goof around here, you will almost certainly regret it if you try to use like a capture card and a normal video camera or some kind of cell phone link thingy. getting a dirt cheap usb cam that runs at like 15fps will also bum you out too.
• at least 2 monitors for your desktop or an external monitor for your laptop. Something simple and minimal like a lepow is perfect. really tho, anything that gives you an extra screen to work with, even like a crappy low res lcd tv, will work.

Class sessions will be recorded & archived, however this is simply for reference material. All students are expected to be present with their webcams & microphones on for the majority of class sessions. Please do not take this class if you aren’t able to show up and actively contribute to discussions.
