Hi Chris, I have to say your teaching style is very impressive.

@2:15, when you say requestAnimationFrame() creates makes a recursive call to animate(), if that's so then ideally the lines after requestAnimationFrame() in the body of animate() will never be executed. Can you please clarify? Thanks.
