In today’s video we will be breaking down and recreating some Dan Koe style animations. It’s a super simple yet very effective style of animations. It heavily relies on writing/story telling and the use of simple and abstract shapes to tell that story. Super fun to work with and it allows for a bunch of creativity.As always, thank you for watching!
