A fictional tale inspired by Desargues’ Theorem
Audience: high-schoolmiddle-school
A fictional tale inspired by Desargues’ Theorem — dedicated to secondary and high school students, in the hope of sparking a love for mathematics and encouraging exploration from the simplest ideas. This video is also a tribute to mathematicians — the curious, skeptical, and persistent minds who bring us such beautiful and meaningful theorems. Here, the inspiration is Desargues’ Theorem. My heartfelt thanks to An Minh Phan, Duy Nguyen, Long Do, and Ha Phuong Uyen for their energy, advice, encouragement, praise, motivation, care, spiritual support, and for giving me the best possible conditions to complete this video.

The visuals are AMAZING and I was genuinely surprised at the amount of effort that went into this animation. My only feedback would be that the explanations goes by a little too fast and it made me need to pause to read the text. Beautiful work :))
I liked it. The presentation style is really unique, although the animation switching between two frames can get a bit eye-straining at times. Also since the text is a pretty big part of this explanation, I would make it bigger and more noticeable, but that’s a small thing. overall, I rely liked how it makes you realize what’s going on, without telling you many things up front, even if I needed to think a bit when the wall metaphor came up, that’s only heightens the experience in my opinion.
This was awesome for people that are not interested in math to show them the beauty of thinking outside the box and stepping into the third dimension. Animation, music and story are also fantastic!
I LOVED THIS ONE! cool visual with animations, cool theorems to talk about it, great explanations. fire!
Very amazing animation. This is another level type of animation that I have not yet seen from others. The story is very simple, inspiring and definitely will capture attentions from younger students who are interested in studying math. Well done.
This is a very beautiful animation. It is very well made and the presentation and the characters are excellent.
The choice of equation and the link to the animation is excellent. The explanation given in this video is an excellent visualisation and literally puts the problem in a new perspective.
From a learners point of view it is difficult to follow the equations in the planes ABC A’B’C’ as the animation is presented on screen. I had to go back and pause to make sure how the proof worked but I think that is unavoidable in this kind of narrative animation.
My only criticism is that it doesn’t give the viewer any time to stop and puzzle over the problem themselves, so it’s not much of an aha! moment. Although I’m really not sure how you would fix that in this kind of a flowing storytelling animation.
Moderated this up to 9. I decided it doesn’t matter that the equations are too fast. It works on two levels. Primarily it is an inspirational cartoon, and also the maths topic can be understood by pausing.
Just because it is different to 3b1b or other Maths channels I initially thought it was not as good, but I changed my mind that it is a new style of educational video I hadn’t seen before. Which really makes it better than anything.
Wonderful video! I love your style, and it’s such a beautiful moment to realize that the 2D problem is better understood in 3D.
The video is very interesting and educational. This idea is unique and passionate. The math part is also interesting—transforming a 2D problem into 3D. But if you explain it as “any three points lying on two planes must be collinear,” it will be easier for viewers to understand.
Overall, it’s very creative. The moment when the cat jumps up, turning the problem from 2D to 3D, is quite impressive. It shows how, in just a single moment and by changing the perspective, we can resolve the problem.
