Okay, here it is! The finished motion graphics assignment for school of my favorite book, Good Omens. It’s missing a few key characters (Shadwell, Madame Tracy, and rest of The Them—among others—due to them pesky time constraints), so hopefully I can get a revised version with everyone included up soon! Even though I’m not entirely happy with the end result, it was definitely fun to make. The streaming is disjointed and iffy if you don’t fullscreen it, but it’s not in particularly high quality either, SO. I’m sorry about that! I’ll change it when I can. In any case, enjoy. ♥
The ducks in St. James’ Park are so used to being fed bread by secret agents meeting clandestinely that they have developed their own Pavlovian reaction. Put a St. James’ Park duck in a laboratory cage and show it a picture of two men - one usually wearing a coat with a fur collar, the other something somber with a scarf - and it’ll look up expectantly. The Russian cultural attaché’s black bread is particularly sought after by the more discerning duck, while the head of MI9’s soggy Hovis with Marmite is relished by the connoisseurs.

The point they both realized the text had wandered into its own world was in the basement of the old Gollancz books, where they’d got together to proofread the final copy, and Neil congratulated Terry on a line that Terry knew he hadn’t written, and Neil was certain he hadn’t written it either. They both privately suspect that at some point the book had started to generate text on its own, but neither of them will actually admit this publicly for fear of being thought odd.

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.
