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!

    hey mapal, great videos! one thing I noticed in a few videos of yours now is that when you want to cut a layer, I see you use cmd+shift+d and then delete the duplicates, but there is a shortcut built into after effects that does this without having to manually delete the extra layers! if you hit alt/option + ] it will cut off the layer at the playhead. it works with hitting [ instead of ] to cut off the layer at the left side of the playhead. hitting the square brackets without using alt/option will just move the layers in/out point to the playhead. it's a small optimization but maybe you or some other viewers find this useful!

Wish you good luck on your journey. Also I've a question, in many of your videos there are tons of sfx that I literally don't know where to get. So if you could mention the sites, it'd be a great help.
