A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything

Posted by admin on July 10th, 2010 and filed under story book | 25 Comments »

*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.

All other content copyright Jamie Bell (aka DispleasedEskimo) 2010, I guess :P

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.com/a-brief-history-of-pretty-much-everything-1031?
