The Wisdom of Pessimism
The School of Life
How do you ensure contentment? A good pessimist knows just how.
    In this film for The School of Life, I teamed up with an amazing group of artists, exploring a mix of different animation techniques to tell you how to become a good pessimist. All this is written and narrated by the great philosopher Alain de Botton.
    You can read more about the process in this interview on Motionographer.
