Instant Philosophy no.1 René Descartes

This humorous philosophy lecture explains René Descartes’ most famous philosophic musings in half a minute.

In this stop motion animation I made use of clippings from a large number of old paintings from the time of Descartes (give or take a century or two 😉

“What if …” made the short-list for the BBC competition!

To my great and happy surprice, the film made it all the way to the short list!

Reality Check – it’s a man’s world

So I really wanted to make this favorite old comic/joke into a short film. I felt had to develop my own story-line to accompany the plot, and had many different ideas, before landing on this particular story. Oh, and I had such a good time building this set and the different props!
