Many people seem to get Quakers confused with Amish or Shakers or even Mormons, so the Young Friends of Richmond VA decided to make a video to help clear things up a little bit. This is all about Quaker history (which actually has very little to do with Amish and Shaker and Mormon history).

Originally the video was going to be called "What is Quakerism," but that turned out to be way too big of a project, at least for now. I worked with the Young Friends on this video for six months or so, studying some important moments in Quaker history and generally having a good time.

Our "animation" style was inspired by an epipheo video with Tim Ferriss, and we also would like to thank Jon Watts for being the patron saint of quaker youtube videos. Music by Kelly Kennedy and others. Barb Adams, the clerk of Religious Education at Richmond Friends Meeting, drew everyone together to make this happen.
