This video gives me hope

With the onslaught of AI-generated content flooding social media, I wanted to celebrate a video that's bursting with human ingenuity (something that may become increasingly more valuable).

It's an impressive mix of stop-motion and hand-drawn animation from @harrylittle on TikTok. It has everything that I typically shout about: it's ambitious and wildly creative, yet it incorporates a tactile technique in a way that makes it accessible to a general audience.

I know how difficult it can be to get people to appreciate animation, so the fact you can see the flutter of the paper and the rippling of the ink is a wonderful touch.

✨ It has that quality of being technically simple enough that anyone with a pencil and a phone could have made it, but only someone creative enough actually made it.
