I was looking to shift the content of my own channel to video essay-style content, but I realized I struggle immensely to keep something interesting happening on the screen. This video had kind of given me an epiphany I really wanna try to dabble in 3d animation myself for my videos. You definitely made it look really easy because I am trying to learn blender now, and I am struggling with it terribly, but hopefully, I can keep the motivation and achieve what you have. It would be really interesting and helpful if you made a more long-form video explaining how you learned all of this and giving additional tips, but obviously, it seems like you have your eyes set on a different creative project, so if you never make something like this, it's very understandable. Keep making amazing stuff dude 👍
