  A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything

  
  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 3:12 - from YouTube ]

  Who wouldn't like a Cliff Notes history of the world animated on a notepad? The creator of this video is Jamie Bell, a 17-year-old English guy. The Monty Python foot at the end of the video is surely a nod to the artist's heroes. But the ending begs the question: what's next? view

  Duelity

  (Experimental)
  [ 3:25 - from Vimeo ]

  Jesus or Darwin?  I always wonder when I see those fish on bumpers.  In Duelity: Duality, Adam & Eve, and the story of existence is told in split-screen animation.  Man & Woman narrate a contemplative, discombobulating visual overview of the universe.  This is like watching God's digital bleuprint of heaven and earth, and the origin of everything. view
