Life Explained in 3 Minutes 58 Seconds


Le Grand Content is a video by Clemens Kogler and Karo Szmit. It can be watched on Kogler's site or on YouTube. I highly recommend downloading the video off of his site, turning off all of the lights and watching it full-screen with the volume turned up.

The video is inspired by/based on Jessica Hagy's blog Indexed, and showcases Hagy's witty view of our lives. Kogler and Szmit's treatment of Hagy's material raises it to the next level. The video clearly references the PowerPoint world we now live in and presents its simple "ah-ha" diagrams in a visually stunning manner with a beautiful score and narration in English with a heavy but pleasing accent. The animation is sophisticated, subtle and deserves multiple viewings.
