The Cave: An Adaptation of Plato's Allegory in Clay

Animation

Director: Michael Ramsey

Run Time: 3 mins 10 secs

 

Synopsis:  

 

An excerpt from Plato's Republic, the 'Allegory of the Cave' is a classic commentary on the human condition. We have adapted and brought it to life by shooting over 4,000 still photographs of John Grigsby's wonderful claymation. The look was achieved by use of candlelight in a real fire that burned at the back of the set.
