Animate a Stylised Musical Motion Graphic with Maya and After Effects

When creating motion graphics to music, an often overlooked detail that really helps in bringing everything to life is synchronicity. When your visuals are correctly timed, however, it can not only feel like your visuals are moving to the music, but being driven by it.

In this tutorial, you will follow Jostein Fennekasa as he demonstrates a very useful way to map out your music using After Effects. He then will then model, animate, and render the 3d scene, all the while timing it to the music in Maya, and finally bring it all back into after effects to add to that last bit of artistic flare!
