Hi
This video made me really emotional, I’m crying haha. Seeing how there are soooo many resources out there for me to learn and grow. And seeing how many people are taking the time to make these courses makes my heart burst! I want to take them all!!! Seriously thank you so much for this video, I appreciate all your hard work that went into creating this.

Thanks for your comment 😊 It feels good to be appreciated. 10 - 15 years ago, it's hard to learn on your own because of the lack of resources. Now, it's easier than ever, and we can only assume that it's going to get better from here. A lot of people are making content now and sharing their knowledge and process. Glad to know you liked this video! 😊
I was completely lost on how to start learning motion graphics. This video cleared all the doubts. So much value in one single video 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

hellooo! thank you so much for this video! i think a key thing to remember while looking through all these resources is the most helpful and best resource will always be the one that's available to you, and the one that you really take the time to sit down with and learn so much from. coming from someone who's spent so much time trying to find the "best" or "perfect" course to learn from but never actually learned how to commit to one and run through its full course, this is one of the key things i always have to keep in mind!
