Early last month, Nobel Prize winner Al Gore spoke at the Technology Entertainment Design (TED) conference in Monterey, California. He delivered a shortened version of the world’s most famous PowerPoint presentation, the slide show that turned into the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The video of Gore’s 30-minute speech can be seen at the TED website, but below you can view a short segment pulled from the middle. It features Dave Schlafman’s Flash-animated PSA, Sky is Falling, which won Current TV’s Sixty Seconds to Save the Earth contest. We’ve now featured this short on the site 3 times, but it’s just cool to see Al Gore introduce it.

Dave Schlafman, who recently won a Toyota from Current TV, has teamed up with Pileated Pictures on The Idiotic Adventures of Philippe and Pierre. Episodes of this online animated series will begin streaming at IdioticAdventures.com next Monday, and new episodes will drop every other week. The series builds on a simple premise - Philippe needs a body and Pierre needs a brain. In each episode the two struggle to help each other out, but they never quite get it right.

The series was conceived, directed and designed by Schlafman, who initially painted Philippe and Pierre in his sketchbook (inset). He teamed up with Dan Flynn, who animated the series, and Evan Sussman who composited the shorts and added effects. You can view the series teaser below:
