SHAPE: Geometry as a Reflection of Life

 

Shape is an animated film made to connect cultural definitions of numbers to their respective geometry. The film attempts to create a sinesthesia of numbers, their geometric shapes, and their use within nature.  Instead of using normal narration and pacing of common educational films, the film utilizes the abstract pacing, graphic matches, and other visual and auditory mnemonic devices to convey that mathematics is in fact the universal language of nature.
