As requested by a handful of you I have decided to make this video covering the Ali Abdaal style. I’ve come across it before and loved the use of folding paper animations. It’s a fun technique, even more so when you take the time to print your assets rather than making it digitally. The result is super clean and if you’re smart about it you can quickly build up a library of animated assets.

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

As always, thank you for watching.
