Plato's Allegory of the Cave: An adaptation in clay from Michael Ramsey on Vimeo.

This started out as an introduction to another scene in a feature length documentary. It has now taken on a bit of a life of it's own, showing in 15 or so festivals and has just won the USA film fest which is Academy qualified. The clay artist was Jon Grigsby, and almost all of the 4,000 or so photos that make up the animation were lit by candlelight.
