ᜐᜎᜌᜆ᜔ ᜐ ᜉᜈᜓᜈᜓᜂᜇ᜔!! First of all — yes, this is heavily inspired by Vox. I'm relatively new to motion graphics, and always liked their animation style, so I decided to use it as my learning reference.

This video was created as a result of me having a sudden spur of interest for it a few months ago. I somewhat intensively practiced writing baybayin randomly throughout the day, mostly when I procrastinated on doing the things I should have been doing lol. And since it wasn't even remotely hard to learn (compared to Japanese and Chinese writing systems for example), I thought it would be a cool idea to share.

What are your thoughts on it?

I'd also like to give a shoutout to my school's student publication "The Squire" for letting this video also go up on their social media pages. Check them out!
