This is quite brilliantly explained. I was putting off looking at Python scripting, but it looks like it's much simpler than I thought. 👍🏻

Loved it, thanks for making this video. Reminds me of my Max script days when technical animators were called in for the strange effects that would take days if not weeks manually.
