Antediluvian

Antediluvian's title refers to the time before the great flood described in the Bible. This animated short pays homage to the scientific paleoart of the 1800s and early 1900s, when the discovery of dinosaur fossils began challenging biblical accounts. Symbolically, it illustrates a major shift-from religious views filled with mythical animals like dragons to a new era of scientific research on prehistoric creatures. We first see classic Western depictions of dinosaurs before moving on to a vivid array of real creatures from Earth's ancient past. The paleoart of the 1800s is both beautiful and dark, creating an eerie and surprising atmosphere-especially when paired with the music. Beyond its overarching theme, there's no conventional plot, but it stands as a fascinating and visually rich showcase.
