Planet of the Apes “re-imagined†as an episode of The Twilight Zone. Why? Both were written by Rod Serling!
Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, also co-wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Which is why the movie plays like a two-hour episode of the show, complete with social commentary and shock ending.

Animator vs. animation
You don’t have to be a flash programmer to appreciate this fantastic animation.
This was done by Alan Becker, a (then) 16 year old and it took him three months to complete.
Cool little gadget that records what you write on paper, it can then be transfered to your computer.
Goodyear tire company borrowed the Goodyear name.
One thing needs to be said up front: Charles Goodyear, the American in this story, didn’t start the tire company. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was started by people he never knew, in a city he never visited, thirty-eight years after his death. Given the understandable (and not entirely accidental) confusion on this point, it bears mentioning that among the hundreds of potential uses for rubber envisioned by Charles Goodyear, the automobile tire was one he never foresaw, for the simple reason that the automobile had yet to be invented.
This is a very interesting book, and a highly cautionary tale. It tells the, often sad, story of Charles Goodyear and his fight to profit from his discovery. I highly recommend it.

This may or may not be quicker than the way you do it, seems the key is having it spread out flatly which should be considered in the time of the technique.
