History: The Intersting Bits is an 8 episodes documentary series on National Geographic featuring at least 10 minutes of animation per episode. Spread over several months of production across a substantial team of producers, designers, animators and compositors, the show is browsing through history focusing on the most interesting or quirky facts. Most of the times a history show is dwelling on accuracy of archive material but this show has put a spin on it and is built based on imaginanitive collage illustrations brought to life through animation. The montage above features snippets of most of the scenes I've animated, designed by several artists who worked on the show.
