A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything

deviantART: http://mr-deski.deviantart.com/

Animation copyright James (Jamie) Francis Bell aka. "DispleasedEskimo" 2010.

*UPDATE: It (the final piece) got full marks! YAY :D*

This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It's something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I'd say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks.

Song is French Cancan by Jaques Offenbach.

Additional sounds credited to Valve, specifically from their game Team Fortress 2.

Other stuff is from the 300 trailer and O Little Town of Bethlehem.

This animation has now been put onto clothes with a design I made. So, if you want to help me get all my necessary meals and whatnot, why not head on over to http://displeasedeskimo.viralprints.c...

I enjoy how the human history of "Pretty Much Everything" only shows white men.

The shading would have taken too long.

at 2:38, there is a subliminal message

There is a penis with a vagina

[DispleasedEskimo]

Most people just see the penis. Kudos to you on being just a little bit darker minded than the rest :D

Does anyone else wonder how many pieces of paper were used to make this?

[Christopher Papaioannou]

Watching this has really made me want to go and play on Spore...

[Verpa217]

Technically he's not wrong, there's virtually no sound in space so it wouldn't have been a bang so much as a faint pop

[Verpa217]

I fucking love this guy.
