About
These short films have all been created by final year undergraduate science students as part of their History of Life Class in the University of Galway, Ireland. They were all tasked with working in small teams to create a 5-7 minute documentary style presentation, addressing one of the main evolution themes covered on the course.
Production budgets for filming and creating CG graphics are completely non-existent - and it must be remembered that the students who create these films have (for the most part) no prior experience or training in film making.
Despite this, the quality of these student presentations is remarkably high and the amount of creativity and imagination on show is quite inspiring!
The History of Life film project is firmly focused in the area of science communication and education, particularly with regards engaging (and entertaining!) the wider public in all matters relating to palaeontology and evolution.
Hope you enjoy watching!
