"We're going to make the most of After Effects and create electrifying visual compositions to accompany your musical ones!"
Create Cinematic Music Videos with Compositing & 2.5D Effects
There's a reason some music videos stop you mid-scroll.
Depth, atmosphere, and motion that all feel intentional.
In this class, motion graphics designer SubaruSx teaches you how to build that kind of visual from the ground up. Using compositing and 2.5D techniques in After Effects, you'll learn to construct full scenes, control depth and atmosphere, and follow real production workflows from concept to final export.
You'll also develop a strong understanding of core motion design principles, so every decision you make has intention behind it. No matter where you're starting from, you'll finish with visuals that actually look the way you imagined them.
