Cause And Effect: The Great War

I made this as an experiment in telling an old story in a new way. It offers a new spin on the causes of The Great War.

I made this film as an experiment: what happens if I tell a story in reverse?

The subject is well-trodden ground, but by starting at the end and then working my way backwards, I found a fresh perspective on an old question.

I’m really proud of my visual storytelling here, particularly the storm clouds motif which conveys the temporal flow of the story in pictures; and the way I created a dramatic opening using old cartoons and simple sound design. It is one of the only videos that has my face in it.
