💻 Errata:
We made a couple animation-os in this video:
- In the last frame of the gingerbread house window stop-motion (2:26), the rightmost vertical line should be further to the left, to the left of the bricks. (The numbers underneath, between the lines, should add up to 10 plates)
- On the stud reversal shot (11:58), "studs" should read "plates" instead
Sorry for not catching these before upload!
