This dude reminds me of Brackeys, simple, straight forward and informative tutorials of game development in unity.

One of the things that I really like with your tutorials is that you're not simply explaining a step by step tutorial on how to make a specific thing. You're actually deep diving into the tools and techniques, and extracting knowledge out of that. Their not tutorials as we are used to hear about, they are courses. That is the main strength about these kind of videos that you do.
I know little about Cinemachine and by looking at this video makes me realise how much you can do with them.
Big thanks to you!

And sorry for bad english

[KBRAKID]

you make something that was so daunting and complicated, blues clues level of understandable! I love your tutorials!!

[iHeartGameDev]

Hey all! Super excited to finally dive into Cinemachine after all this time! It's one of the most robust camera packages that we can get our hands on when using Unity, and it will be great to explore all of the different features that it has to offer!

As always, I hope this video helps you on your gamedev journeys and can't wait to share more!
Cheers! 🍻

This tutorial is truly top-notch, there are so few videos like these that allow people to absorb the documentation through examples like this. Thank you so much!

I've been using cinemachine for a few months now, yet I've learned new things about it thanks to this video 💪
