The History of Poland (animation)

[Ska Wars]

Not seen this posted yet so I thought I'd share.

Just under 10 minute animation by Tomasz Baginski (The Witcher, Fallen Art, Cathedral) showing the 1000 year history of Poland. Very nicely done although a knowledge of the time period helps as some of the dates will be more obvious to some than others.

Anyroad, enjoy.

For some reason this animation made me wish that an updated version of M:TW were on the way.

 

[Ska Wars]

lol I know what you mean.

I miss Sean Pertwee and his pox references

And one thing less stolen by a Polish (can't watch the video)

No offence mate but very little of that post made sense. You might want to proof read before submitting.

But yeah, video is down. If I find another copy I'll edit it in.

EDIT: New copy up. We'll see for how long this time.

Great video.

Amazing to say the least! I would love if someone could explain the 1800-1900 period though, I didn't understand a lot about those guys walking in the forest etc...

Wish there were more videos of such quality about other countries too.

I suppose this represented the time when poland was divided between Austria, Germany and Russia.

I thought that was well done

Brilliant, pleased to see the Polish Air Force were not forgotten.

Indeed. Overally I think it gives a very nice idea of what Poland is to someone who knows almost nothing like me (apart from blitzkrieg and later),

 

[LemoN]

I don't know why but I don't like it.

I can't say why or in which way.
:IS2:

 

[The Masta]

Very well done and great video.

My only negative towards it is that Baginski does over stylise his characters which sometimes works well (like Fallen Art) but other times it doesn't quite fit, which I felt during a few scenes in this. Overall though I'm still a big fan of his work.

 

[Blue Orchestra]

Nice video. I liked it.

 

[Shadrach]

Very nice, I'm half-polish so always been interested in the history of that part of Europe. A very bloody history it is as well...

Too bad its so blurry, would love a HD version of it.

Ed: Really liked the Solidarność part but the ending was a bit too much too overdone

 

[Ska Wars]

Lol yeah the ending made me chuckle. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Poland (I'll be there for most of August and September) but the last few seconds made it look like it was bloody Dubai with all the sky scrapers

 

[I. Kant]

Yeah, a nice little animation there. The quick pace and transition of the images forces you to watch it a couple of times to pick out all the nuanced images (for instance, my wife-to-be pointed out the bit about religious tolerance, with the image of a Roman cross, star of David and the Eastern-Orthodox cross).

Also, minus for kecz, for his idiotic remark.

 

[Gamburd]

Can someone please find the video again?


I would like to see it; the video in the OP is now gone.

 

[Shadrach]

Found another, looks like official channel too so maybe it won't be deleted.
