Motion Graphics Promo

Brief

A motion graphics assignment for my MA at MAHE Bengaluru, with full creative freedom on subject and style. I photoscanned my own Jawa 42 motorcycle, cleaned the mesh through a 3D pipeline, brought it into After Effects, and built a 58-second stylized promotional piece around it.

Approach

The pipeline:

1. Capture. Around 100 photos shot in 360 degrees around the bike, processed in RealityScan on iOS to generate a raw 3D mesh at roughly 100,000-200,000 triangles.

2. Cleanup. The raw photoscan included reflections, ground geometry, and the bike stand as garbage mesh. I cleaned and optimized the model in Maya, bringing it down to roughly 50,000 triangles. Keeping it light enough to work in After Effects without lag.

Cinematic close-up. Detail and material fidelity preserved from the original photoscan.

3. Format Conversion. Maya doesn't export GLB 2.0, which is the format After Effects requires for 3D import. Exported the cleaned model from Blender as GLB 2.0 to carry the geometry and textures through.

4. Composite. Built camera moves, lighting, environment, motion graphics overlays, and text animation entirely inside After Effects' 3D engine, around the photoscanned asset.

3D camera moves and integrated typography inside After Effects.

5. Final Cut. Assembled in Premiere Pro

Output

A 58-second motion graphics promotional piece.

Tools

Outcome

15/15 on the assignment. Shared by my dissertation mentor Dr. Pranava Kumar R with the faculty group at MAHE Bengaluru.
