A brief his­tory of pretty much every­thing is a 2100 pages flip­book made by 17 year old ani­ma­tor Jamie Bell. Here are a few words from Jamie Bell page on Youtube:
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.
