Jeremiah Dickey, Founding Animation Director at Ted-Ed
The Importance of Being Earnest: Adventures in Visual Storytelling
We are at a point in history where, for better or for worse, most people learn about the world they live in through the media they consume on the internet. For some this is a terrifying prospect, and for others an inspiring call to action. All of which is to say, for visually-minded creative people, it’s an exciting (and crucial) time to be entering the conversation. In my talk I’ll be skipping a stone across ten years of making educational short films for TED-Ed, sharing some aspects of the creative process, pitfalls to avoid while embarking on journeys of discovery, and strategies for making a virtue out of ignorance.
