Outside the Box by Joseph Pelling

Outside the Box is a hilarious short film that won the Digital Artist Awards in 2009 for the animation category. Two pretentious intellectuals try to prove to each other that their thinking process is more advanced than the other. Against the background of graph paper, we see their swelling fantasies take shape and become props for their outrageous, self-absorbed dialogue. Joseph Pelling, a freelance animator/ illustrator living and working in London, has created a delightfully original satire with this animation.
