I recently stumbled upon this tweet, by animator and director John Likens, which reminded me of when I wanted to become an animator, early on in my career.

Although the clip of Leonardo is an animated short, micro isn’t too far off.
Here’s a video diving deeper into micro animations used with the tool Figma, a favorite for many of the world’s best web designers.
