A video that has been requested time and time again has been How To Animate Like Johnny Harris. This week I’ve decided to listen to the people and give them what they want. Johnny Harris and his team put out a lot of great content but this specific sequence caught my eye, which is why we are breaking it down and recreating it. It uses one of my favourite techniques: THE MATCH CUT.

As always, thank you for watching!
