Lights, Camera, Life! | Prashant Raj | TEDxYouth@VSA
Every story changes depending on where you stand. In this entertaining and thought-provoking TEDx talk, filmmaker and architect Prashanth Raj explores the power of perspective—how the way we see things shapes the stories we tell and the lives we live.
Blending humor with deep insights, Prashanth takes us on a journey through storytelling, filmmaking, and architecture, showing how every frame, every structure, and every moment is a matter of viewpoint. Using hilarious examples, he highlights how shifting our perspective can change not just narratives, but our understanding of the world itself.
Tied to the Garden of Eden theme, his talk challenges us to embrace multiple perspectives, recognize the beauty in different viewpoints, and appreciate how every story is uniquely shaped by the lens through which it’s seen.
