That was actually amazing, the only thing I wish was in there was the Triassic and Permian but I know how hard it is to animate so I still think that this is a great animation
if you saw the description, there was this part READ BEFORE COMMENTING: "You skipped the Permian and Triassic" - YES, because the music was too short to include everything (or I didn't have a good enough idea to do so in that short time frame)
look at those captions also can we admire his description: READ BEFORE COMMENTING: "You skipped the Permian and Triassic" - YES, because the music was too short to include everything (or I didn't have a good enough idea to do so in that short time frame) "Why no humans" - because I'm horrible at drawing humans "I don't believe in evolution but it's a nice animation" - That's fine with me, thank you "hurrdurr evolution is fake and you are stupid" - I will delete your comment I heavily used one of Frederic Wierum's allosaurus drawings as a reference, so - credit to him! -------- This is pretty much my first animation ever. It was done as a college application for FH (college) Salzburg (course "Multimediaart"). The task was a short animation (minimum 20 seconds, maximum 2 minutes) with any medium and topic of one's own choice. I got the idea when I heard the music I've used here for the first time. It didn't turn out 100% as I imagined it - reason being my excessive procrastination - but I think it's still not bad for my first try. :] All I wanted to do was to portray over 500 million years (not counting single-cell organisms and the like) of evolution, including some of the most bizarre creatures many people have never heard of, in under 2 minutes, and I'd say I achieved that. Unfortunately, it was not enough to get accepted. It wasn't as difficult to make as expected. I learned pretty fast with the help of a few RU-vid tutorials. But it did take a bit longer than I thought. I began - I think at the end of - December and got finished just two days ago (which was the deadline for my college application). I didn't do much in January and February though, which still annoys me, but oh well. I'm just glad I got it done. Enjoy! -------------------------------------- In case anyone cares, here's a timeline (stating the approximate time the animals shown lived, not when the period started) + species seen + some notes I find interesting (it might be not 100% correct; feel free to tell me if I wrote something wrong!): 00:00 - 00:18: 3.5 billion years ago; first single celled organisms 00:19 - 00:20: Cambrian, over 500 million years ago; Opabinia, Pikaia, Anomalocaris, Hallucigenia, Wiwaxia - Pikaia is thought to be the oldest ancestor of fish and, thus, of us. It's the first animal with a notochord. (Those are NOT the first animals in general. The first animals didn't move a lot though, so that would have been boring to watch D:) 00:21 - 00:23: Ordovician Period, ~460 million years ago; Arandaspis, Pteraspis, Promissum, Cameroceras - first fishes 00:24: Silurian Period, ~420 million years ago; Andreolepis 00:25 - 00:31: Devonian Period, ~390-360 million years ago; Pituriaspida, Dunkleosteus, Eusthenopteron, Panderitchthys, Tiktaalik, Ichthyostega - The last four are very important steps in the evolution from fins to legs, from fish to amphibia. (NOT the first animals on land though, those were arthropods, over 400 million years ago.) 00:32: Carboniferous Period, ~348 million years ago; Pederpes 00:33 - 00:38: Carboniferous Period, ~312-302 million years ago; Hylonomus, Petrolacosaurus - First reptiles. ~Big time jump because I didn't have the time to include the Permian and Triassic. :( The Permian featured the first Therapsids - "mammal-like reptiles". As the name suggests, they were the intermediate step from reptiles to mammals, and they looked just like that (go check out Estemmenosuchus and Gorgonopsia for example). The Triassic gave rise to the first mammals and dinosaurs. I COULD have gone with Herrerasaurus as the big theropod so as not to skip the Triassic, but I wanted an even bigger one, so I jumped right to Allosaurus (12m vs 6m length!), which is also more popular, so that was a bonus. Another noteworthy animal group that lived on until 66 million years ago were the pterosaurs, flying reptiles (NOT dinosaurs).~ 00:39 - 00:57: Jurassic Period, ~150 million years ago; Ornitholestes, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus - I didn't show it here, but first birds were around in that period, too (check out Archaeopteryx). 00:58 - 1:16: Cretaceous Period, ~75-66 million years ago; Parasaurolophus, Triceratops 01:18: generic mammal which is supposed to symbolize that small mammals survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event and now, without dinosaurs around, could finally prosper 01:19 - 1:22: Paleogene Period, ~50-30 million years ago; Pakicetus, Diacodexis, Andrewsarchus, Embolotherium, Paraceratherium 01:23 - end: Neogene Period to Holocene (current geological epoch), ~7 million years ago to modern times; Titanis, Short-faced bear, Smilodon, some generic horse, mammoth, Ancylotherium, Ardipithecus, Woolly Rhinoceros, Megatherium, Macrauchenia, Thylacinus Sadly, I really had to rush the end, so that isn't fleshed out or just not animated at all. -------------------------------------- Everything was done in Adobe Flash CS5. Music: Trailer Soundtrack for "Planetary Annihilation - Titans"
A more correct term for therapsids is 'stem mammals' or 'protomammals' as they were closely related to the ancestors which would evolve into mammals and were not descended from reptiles as reptiles as we know them hadn't evolved yet.
Gr8 animation better than animated movies cause this has real fun and life in it! Imma gonna make my cheaper version of it! Obviously inspired by this video and AcidNeku!
Ngl this is an amazing animation but 0:46 looks a little like the drawing made by Fredric Wierum of an allosaurus edit: also subtitles are just perfect
Good thing i saw the description.. i wanted to tell you about the Permian and the Triassic.. but at least you gave me the satisfaction of seeing the Carboniferous :D
Caps: DRAMATIC ZOOM INTENSIFIES WHY ARE YOU RUNNING wait No stop NOOOO you can’t just skip the Permian and Triassic!-haha timejump goes brrrrrrr “We should have seen that allosaurus from a mile away Jerry, why are we turning around just now?” Hello my name is stego “stiff neck” saurus And more.
Now this is awesome! I liked every animal drawing (except for the weird triceratops and the jp parasaurolophus)! By the way, did you mean in the description "Permian and Triassic", because you included the Jurassic, you didn't miss it.
Thank you! Do you have tips for the triceratops and the parasaurolophus? I'd like to know what's wrong if you don't mind :) Yes that was an error, I'm changing it in a moment^^
@@ComradeBobcat39 It's eyes are small and sit on top of its head like a crocodile and the beak it's very short. Also there shouldn't be such fine lines between the horns and the rest of the face
@@sergiubleoca9917 I'm pretty sure judging from pictures of triceratops skulls the eyes are that high up on the head and I kinda agree with the horns but that's just artistic choice
Thank you! I don't know about that, when I do a quick google search, all results say it walked both on two and four legs. If it's not thought to be wrong, I prefer the bipedal walk. :>
@@AcidNeku yeah but as nee studies of hadrosaurids show that they had like hooves it is thought to be cuadrupedal. Do you want a link to the paper is very interesting and destroy a lot of paleoart of the 90s XD
@@AcidNeku here you have a paper. ( www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=palaeo-electronica.org/content/pdfs/330.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiizs3ciZnuAhXeQxUIHSGeBegQFjAAegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw1WN_PXClGSO7ManORQLW9C ) Depending the ornitopod the hoof is 1 or 3 fingers, in parasaurolophus it is one. I recommend you to check some modern paleoart of this group to see this.
Me: *I read the main comment that says to turn on subtitles* Also Me: *Activate subtitles and elude them during the video* Me again: *Laughs like crazy*
I may not agree with evolution, but I think this animation is v e r y nice, I liked the captions however lmao Also! your artstyle is nice, I feel you when you said you couldn't draw humans XD
