Once again we'll be running our special sale on VDMX for students and teachers heading back to school over the next couple of weeks with an extra 100 USD off; and we're even more excited to extend this same discount to ALL customers!
This means that from January 13th through January 20th, everyone can get a license of VDMX for just 249 USD, and students / starving artists pay only 99 USD.
Along with making great software for VJs and our related open source projects, one of the areas we have tried to focus on is creating educational materials to help visual artists at all levels help improve their craft. Over the last few years our website tutorials section has served as the main outlet for our various lessons, demonstrations and conversations of the various techniques used for all aspects of live visual performance. We also recently launched VV Edu, a set of lesson plans for teachers to use as a starting point for teaching live visuals and VJing in the classroom.
If you've not already read about the special discount for hobbyists and new artists, the idea is simple — help others get started by doing a small community based project.
Some examples would be to do one of these:
translating, or recording a new video tutorial,
documenting the details of a project you are working on in a blog post,
creating an original set of creative commons sample movies,
open sourcing some useful creative code,
a DJ could share some of their audio loops for video artists who need soundtracks for demo reels,
sharing Quartz Composer compositions,
or some other idea that uses your existing skills in exchange for a discount on a full license of VDMX.
For more information on the sale visit our buy page, or send us an email with a scan of your school photo ID or a proposal for the starving artist rate, and we'll send back a coupon code to get your full license for 99 USD when purchasing VDMX from our online store.
