Between 2013 and 2023 Alexander Kuiava produced more than one hundred VJ loops packs on his own — animating, drawing and modelling every frame in After Effects, 3ds Max and Daz3D. No generators, no prompts, no outsourced batches. Ten years of one artist’s hand, catalogued.
The collection is mostly abstraction, built in a personal visual language: light, rays, flares, reflective surfaces and pastel luxury tones. It is deliberately quiet about camera movement and loud about atmosphere — visuals designed to sit inside a stage design rather than compete with it.

“Between 2013 and 2023 I drew every frame myself. No generators, no prompts — just the timeline and me.”
Ten years, one hand, a hundred collections
The archive covers a full decade of daily practice. Each of the VJ loops packs was conceived, animated, graded and packaged by one person, in an era when generative tools did not exist and later, when they did, were simply not used. That distinction matters to the artists who work with the library: what they load into Resolume is authored material with a consistent temperament, not a batch assembled from a model.
Kuiava’s working method stayed remarkably stable across those years. Most animation happens in After Effects, built from layered patterns, procedural effects and light. Three-dimensional elements are modelled and animated separately in 3ds Max or Daz3D, then brought back into the composite as material rather than as the subject. The result sits between motion design and abstraction: structured enough to read as intentional, loose enough to survive being mixed with somebody else’s footage.
Over that period more than 30,000 artists, studios and event producers downloaded visuals from the library, and around 10,000 of them became buyers of the packs. The work travelled from small club booths to arena stages, largely through people the artist has never met.

Of the library designed as material for live video mixing
A visual should not steal the stage. It should extend it.
This is why the library contains almost no camera flights, zooms or Z-axis travel. The visuals behave like moving wallpaper for the room, not like a film demanding attention.
Three rules behind the VJ loops packs
A library this size only holds together if the decisions underneath it stay consistent. Three of them shaped everything.
Ingredients before dishes
Roughly seventy per cent of the library was built as raw material — elements meant to be layered, masked and blended with other footage during a live set. That is a deliberate service to the craft of VJing, which is video art performed in real time and lives on mixing. The remaining thirty per cent are complete compositions that need no partner: press play and the screen is already finished.
Light before geometry
The signature of Kuiava’s collections is light itself: rays, beams, flares, reflections and pastel luxury tones that read as expensive on a large screen. Geometry is present, but it exists to carry the light rather than the other way round. This is what separates the concert and gala packs from the club material — the same craft, a slower pulse and a richer palette.
No camera flights
Almost nothing in the library animates along the Z axis. There are no tunnel flights, no dramatic zooms, no camera racing through a corridor of shapes. That is an aesthetic position rather than a technical limit: motion toward the audience pulls focus away from the performer. Visuals designed as an extension of the stage keep their movement in the plane of the screen, where they support the show instead of interrupting it.
Built in After Effects, finished with 3D — and now future-proofed with AI upscaling.
The packs ship in Full HD and 4K. Older Full HD collections are being restored to 4K and 8K with modern upscaling, without softening the original grade — and every artist who bought a pack earlier receives that update free of charge. The library is treated as living work: collections are revisited, extended and re-mastered, and existing owners always get the newer version.

Who the VJ loops packs are made for
Part of the library is written for the dancefloor: high-contrast, strobing, glitched, minimal. These collections are built to survive a dark room, a smoke machine and a beat that does not slow down, and they are cut so a VJ can drop in and out of them on the bar.
Genre matters less than energy here. The same pack can carry a techno night, a rave stage or a fashion after-party, because the material is abstract and the rhythm is what does the talking.
The other pole of the collection is written for artists on stage: smooth abstractions, volumetric light, soft rays and expensive pastel palettes. These visuals breathe slowly, so a singer, an orchestra or a host is never fighting the screen behind them.
This is where the no-camera-flight rule pays off most visibly. Gala screens, award ceremonies and corporate stages need a background that holds attention without claiming it — an environment rather than an event.
VJing is composition performed live, and it needs parts rather than finished pictures. Most of these VJ loops packs were therefore made as ingredients: layers that behave well under blending modes, elements that keep their shape when masked, textures that survive being stacked three deep.
The material also crosses over into projection work. Many artists combine it with Video Mapping Loops and Video Mapping Toolkits, using the abstractions as colour and texture over the monochrome depth of a facade.
Not every venue has a VJ. Around a third of the collection is designed for exactly that situation: complete, self-sufficient compositions for LED walls, lobby screens, restaurants, showrooms and conference stages, where the content simply has to look beautiful on loop.
Resolutions run from Full HD to 4K, with ultra-wide versions for panoramic installations, so the same composition can serve a single screen or a stage-width canvas.
A living archive
“A visual that can be mixed is worth more to a VJ than a visual that cannot.”
The collection is finished. The library is not.
The hundred packs made between 2013 and 2023 form a closed chapter — a decade of manual animation, dated and countable. The library built from them keeps moving. Collections are re-graded, extended with new clips and re-mastered to higher resolutions, and every one of those revisions reaches existing owners without an invoice.
The packs are published by the Austrian video production studio LIME ART GROUP, where the full catalogue of VJ loops packs and VJ clips lives. Curated genre bundles are available in the concept store on this site, and the craft behind them is taught at the new media art school Frontskill.
VJ loops packs FAQ
What is a VJ loops pack?
A VJ loops pack is a themed collection of seamlessly looping video clips made for live visual performance. The clips are played and mixed in software such as Resolume, VDMX, Modul8 or MadMapper, and they run on screens, LED walls and projections during concerts, club nights and events.
Were these visuals generated with AI?
No. Every pack released between 2013 and 2023 was animated by hand in After Effects, with 3D elements modelled and rendered in 3ds Max and Daz3D. AI is used in one place only: upscaling older Full HD collections to 4K and 8K, which restores resolution without changing the original artwork.
Why are there almost no camera flights or zooms?
That is a deliberate choice. Movement toward the audience pulls focus away from the stage, so the visuals keep their motion in the plane of the screen. The result works as an extension of the stage design and as moving wallpaper for the whole venue, rather than as a film that competes with the performer.
Which packs should a club VJ choose, and which suit a concert?
Club and DJ work is served by the faster material: strobe, glitch, minimal and techno collections with hard contrast. Concerts, galas and corporate stages are served by the slower ones: volumetric light, rays, soft reflections and pastel luxury palettes. Both come from the same hand, at different tempos.
What resolutions are available, and do buyers get updates?
The packs ship in Full HD and 4K, with ultra-wide versions for panoramic screens. Older Full HD collections are being re-mastered to 4K and 8K, and every artist who bought a pack earlier receives the upgraded files free of charge. Collections are also extended with new clips over time, again at no additional cost.
Where can the collections be found?
The full catalogue is published at LIME ART GROUP. Curated genre bundles — techno, rave, glitch, golden, stage and others — are available in the concept store on this site.
