This set of quick-turnaround graphics all have a similar look and feel and were created using Cinema 4D, After Effects and plug-ins from GenArts, Video Copilot and Boris FX.

The importance of experimentation to a motion designer can’t be over emphasised. Experimentation stretches your skills into new areas and has the potential to result in fresh, personalised looks, rather than copying the latest trend.
In this walkthrough After Effects tutorial I breakdown a concert/music video-style video wall look, emphasising where I experimented along the way. Plug-ins used include CC Ball Action, Trapcode Lux and Starglow, (use motionworks10 for a 10% discount), Video Copilot Optical Flares and GenArts Sapphire. Watch tutorial (mp4)
