The Rise of Humans

Yuval Noah Harari’s groundbreaking novel, “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” inspired and informed millions of people worldwide, including us at Osmosis Films. We decided to exercise our creative muscles by translating Harari’s TED Talk about the book into a spellbinding origami-inspired film that brings the spirit of his work to life.

Artistic Approach

As a team, we worked to develop the look and feel of the piece, imagining a progression from simplistic black and white paper cut-out animation to a palette increasingly dominated by color and light and dynamic networks, representing the key factor responsible for the dominance of homo sapiens: our ability to collaborate flexibly and in very large numbers.

We alone can create and believe fictional stories.
