duelity

Duelity is a pair of brief movies about the cultural war between the two dominant stories of how things came to be: creationism and big-bang-slash-evolution. There is one movie about each, both the same length. Interestingly, neither movie tells either story in the way preferred by the proponents of each story. Rather, the telling of the scientific story is done in mock-biblical language, and the telling of the creationist story is told in mock-science-speak.

Each film has a narrator (one male, one female) who delivers a sentence and then pauses for the animation to illustrate that part of the story.

The absolute best feature of these films, however, is that they are meant to be played simultaneously, so that neither narrator is speaking over the top of the other. The result is a very impressive work of art.

My flash plugin had some trouble smoothly playing both at the same time, but it was worth it anyway.
