A funny depiction of the big bang theory.

Director's Notes:

This film isn’t simply ‘high concept’, it’s enormous, ginormous, kaplormous, and other words ending in ‘-ormous’ concept.

SciCast Notes:

I think the team here are trying to start a SciCast in joke, to be honest. Let’s see how many films for the second year of the competition can work in “…and other words ending in ‘-ormous’.”

The animations are quite nicely done, but what really works here is the thought and care that’s gone into the narration. It’s easy to have a simple script that ends up making your viewers nod off to sleep, whereas this has dynamism, pace, and enthusiasm.

And lots of words ending in ‘-ormous,’ obviously.
