A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything
I thought this animation was great.
From the author:
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.
Women in Gaming
A quick history of the women in gaming. Be sure to watch at least 3:00 mins in. I was surprised to see the mentioning of a special someone. Credits to Genevieve for the find last night!
“It’s interesting when you actually look back at some of the classic atari games and you start to realize, alot of the really good ones were made by women. You had Laura Nikolich who designed Spider Man which also happened to be one of the few decent games built on a license.”
You go Mom!!!
