Duelity

Posted on January 15, 2008 Under Life

What better way to take shed some fresh light on the whole creationism vs. evolution debate than by forcing one side to see the merits (and faults) of the other through the paradox of telling the opposite story?

Vancouver Film School students Marcos Ceravolo and Ryan Ulrich created Duelity, a Freaky Friday-esque take on natural history. The switch up plays out as the creationist theory is presented through the scientific findings of the General Organization of Development (G.O.D.), while the evolutionary theory is given through an impassioned biblical oratory complete with Darwinism illustrated in Vatican-ish stained glass.

The video comes in three versions: "Creationism," "Evolution," and then the total brilliance and exact execution of the project really shines when you watch the third version — "Duelity" — where both stories unfold simultaneously in a split screen.
