I mean. Amazing. It feels amazing. I hated school and learning a lot as a teenager and I like to think that if edu videos like this would have existed like they do today, my time might have been much better. It feels great to (hopefully) make the learning experience better for others!

Hey! Thank you! No, Steve Taylor is our english voice and Christoph Jablonka is the German one (also the voice of German Homer Simpson!)

Hey!

  1. Super simple: When I started illustrating in 2012 I was really bad it. By accident I made a few of these birds, they were simple, quick to design and just look at them. They look ridiculous with their dead eyes and colors and shapes. I love them. So it was a mix of saving time and having something that was a bit funny.
  2. A variety of minimalistic flat designers. It has been a long time so I don't remember everybody, but for example there is the small studio "Always with Honor" that I really looked up to and was really inspired by. Check them out here: https://www.alwayswithhonor.com/ The illustration style of Kurzgesagt got really elevated and much better when Philip (yes, same name, confusing, I know) joined the team.

Hey! Absolutely – the worst mistake was in the "Limits of Humanity" video where I was off by several orders of magnitude on a core fact of the video – but we have fixed that earlier this year. Aside from that, in general I don't like many of our older videos that much because I would do them very differently today. From the perspective of us/me doing the videos at the time I think there is nothing that I felt was below standard. There were videos that did not meet expectations but they were never published.
