How To Make Vox Style Videos - After Effects Tutorial

In todays lengthy video I go over how to make Vox style videos by highlighting some of the techniques they use. The point of this video is to teach how you can utilise some of the simplest features in After Effects to tell a story. I want to emphasise that I don’t think you should straight up copy what Vox or anyone else does BUUT there is a lot you can learn through replicating and testing out new techniques. Anyways, I hope you learned something new from this video or at least just enjoyed following along! As always, thank you for watching. Follow me!
