Take Control of Your Visuals
If you’re a musician who wants to be more expressive and in control of the visuals that go with your music, then this is the course for you! I’m gonna teach you everything you need to know to make exciting 3D animations for your music in a free software called Blender.
This course is designed for musicians who don’t necessarily have a background in visual art or a powerful graphics card. In the lessons I prioritize features of the program that are particularly useful for lining up visuals and music and the demanding timelines of social media art.
First I’ll teach you some Blender basics, such as moving around in 3D space and making simple shapes. Then I’ll show you how to make those shapes into characters and prepare them to be animated. After that, I show you how to animate characters, cameras, and abstract visuals to music. And finally, I’ll show you how to make surreal particle effects and music visualizers.
My hope is that this course will help you be creative in new ways and have a lot of fun making quirky wild worlds for your music to live in!

Hi, I'm Ben Levin
I’ve used Blender to make music videos and animations for Tim Heidecker, Adult Swim, Sungazer, Carbomb, and many more. I release short films and animated albums on my YouTube channel and have a popular series of 1-minute animated musicals called "Sweetie Cuties," that I release weekly on Instagram and TikTok. After years of honing my own style and 3D animation workflow, I’ve developed an efficient and expressive approach to pairing music and visuals. I’m excited to share my approach with you and look forward to seeing what you make!
