I waste a lot of time mindlessly scrolling through apps like Facebook and TikTok, but once in a while, a cool video will appear that grabs my attention. Here are two of them that I’ve stumbled across recently. Earlier, I saw a video of this person named Giovanni Contardi making Read more…
After working with the frame animation and video timeline tools in Photoshop, I was reminded of a YouTuber I used to follow consistently called Andymation. He makes a bunch of flip books, which are just booklets of static images that gradually change from one to the next. When you flip Read more…
