Page turn Animation, CGCookie Tutorial (circa 2012)

This is a question about a 4 part CGCookie tutorial by Stanislas Paillereau found only on CGCookie youtube channel. Tried searching for it here, it could not be found. (Have no idea why)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBIxcm-T3Oo (for Blender 2.6, but the technique of page curl using lattice modifiers is just amazing)

The tutorial is 8 years old, and stanP back then was saying that as of 2.6 this is the only way to apply the same animation to multiple instances of pages.  

Could someone tell if there is a better way of applying such an animation to multiple page instances as of  2.8+ ?
