Ben uses a mix of the Mosaic effect, Grid, and a couple of others in After Effects to build out a matte that can be used to reveal sequences.

Ben recently released The Cinema 4D VFX Volume 1 training series which is being offered through Vimeo On Demand. Cinema 4D VFX Volume 1 spans 5 big chapters walking though quite a few topics. The series starts with modeling, and moves to creating the fractures, dynamics, using Turbulence FD and X-Particles, lighting texturing and rendering, then compositing.
