Collage animations have a special place in my heart. I haven’t done them much but I love watching them! So today I decided to try recreating one that caught my eye recently. It took a lot longer than expected but I had a lot of fun playing around with it.

Anyways, I hope you learned something new from this video or at least just enjoyed following along!

As always, thank you for watching.
