Hey! Hope everyone is doing well. This video is part 1 of a small 2/3 episode series I am making on generating conic sections with circles. Hope you enjoy.
As always your feedback is highly appreciated as it helps me improve the quality of my future animations. Thanks for the support and I'll see you soon with another video :)

[PowerhouseCell]

As a YouTuber myself, I really appreciate how was much was put into this. Beautifully done! :)

[kikivoorburg]

Stuff always becomes so intuitive when you animate it this way! Amazing work

[cubicardi]

Ahh I remember times years back where you just had a couple hundred subscribers and everyone was complaining how you don't have more.​Beautiful​

When I watch these videos they help me understand what my brothers doing on his homework.

[aradziv]

Fun fact: put the point outside the circle, and it's a hyperbola! Did I spoil the next video?

[quantumcity]

Not gonna lie...
That animation is actually satisfying 😻
You deserve 1 mil

I've watched this, well, I've lost track of how many times, but each time brings me to tears. This is the most beautiful proof I've ever seen.

Thank you.

[mohammedal-haddad]

Your prolems in the beginning seem impossible but in the end you make the solution so simple. Thank you very much.
