I am finally getting around to doing my first “how to animate like” on Dodford. Great channel that utilises a lot of really subtle but super effective effects. In this particular video we cover the fundamentals of the animation style and why it works so well. We will be looking at blur maps/depth field, photo animations, article animations, and much more sauce.

As always, thank you for watching!
