The Wisdom of Pessimism

For every optimist with a bright and sparkling outlook, there seems to be a thousand pessimists grumbling on about the disappointing weather.

But, as this short animated film helmed by Claudio Salas suggests, perhaps that ain't a bad thing?

Using 2D/3D animations, stop-motion graphics and handmade models to get the point across, the spot compares optimism with pessimism.

Making a pretty convincing case for adopting a pessimist outlook, the promo highlights how pessimists see the world in a more realistic way, while optimists tend to set themselves up for disappointment... Seems it's a no brainer then. Bah humbug!
