[@DirtCobaine]

I just want to say, Corridor Crew, I’m seriously loving these videos with Wren using VFX as an educational tool and in conjunction with interesting informative content like this. I seriously enjoy these videos. I like this side of Wren too he’s one of those people that actually can keep my attention while being informative. I’m not quite sure how to explain it but during my entire school career there were so teachers I just had a hard time connecting with and then there were these teachers that just got “it”. Maybe it’s the enthusiasm you can see in one’s eyes when they are talking about something they are genuinely passionate or interested in and it’s hard for it not to be contagious

[@jarsenberg]

Wholeheartedly agree! I could see these videos playing really well with kids in schools.

[@hydrashade1851]

its not necessarily JUST the passion for what they're talking about, but they have to also be passionate about teaching others and sharing their knowledge. I had a math teacher who clearly was passionate about math, but he came off as just so condescending, so a good half of his students just didnt connect with him(and hes been teaching for 11 years, he shouldve gotten "it"). but another math teacher i had clearly liked the subject, and liked sharing his knowledge and he was my favorite math teacher ever. I still remember my favorite quote from him, "I hate everyone equally"

Wren has showed multiple times now that CGI and visual effects are not just useful for entertainment, but they can help people understand and imagine things previously thought to be unimaginable. Like, these numbers are so big that our brain does not know what to do with them. By visualizing the numbers you contribute to the understanding of these concepts.

FUN FACT 9:00 if that line of ants around the earth was to stack up (each time the ant line circles the earth it stacks on top of each other) the result would be a *5 AND A HALF KILOMETER tall wall* around the equator (about 3 and a half MILES). That’s nuts!
