at about 1:40 he uses some guides to make the pages follow as they flip, what process is he using here? i dont even know what hes doing to look into it further

I havnt used maya.

But a quick guess would be each page is in an array from 0-end. Each page has a similar blendshape but slightly different original point. And its set up to loop between all the pages set and applying the blendershape keys based on the guide positions?

hmmm, maybe but how would you constrain/effect the blendshapes to the guides?

Would the guides not be just a visualisation of the blendshape at different positions, the same animation will be applied to each page? By changing the guides you update the blendshape keys and apply that to the array of pages. Then hes offsetting each page animations to simulate the pages flickering.

His setup im not sure, this is obviously his own wf to showcase, but if you set up one blendshape for the flicking, should you not be able to alter the subsequent blendshape for each instance of that object?
