Credits for "mrob Loves Discovering the Thread"
This page describes all the things that went into my animation, mrob Loves Discovering the Thread.
The Storyboard Concept is by the Discovery Channel (for their I Love the Whole World campaign launched 2008-04-09). The music is "I Love the Mountains", a traditional camping song.
The Discovery Channel music was "filked", and their storyboard adapted into a comic strip by Randall Munroe (with completely new writing), for xkcd #442 "xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel".
Most of the artwork in "mrob Loves Discovering the Thread" originated with Randall Munroe, notably various frames of xkcd #1190 "Time". Munroe's artwork was adapted (in various forms of collage, pastiche, and mash-up, with additions of original art) by members of the One True Thread as detailed below.
The original "OTTification" (a pastiche) of xkcd #442 was by BlitzGirl, We Love the Thread of Time, Newpage 464. (BlitzGirl also did a second OTTification of xkcd #442 on NP707).
This retrOTTification (spoiler-free for Newpage 465 or later) is by Robert Munafo (mrob27), by combining bits of the above. The font is the one called "xkcd.ttf" from simonsoftware.se.
This animation was produced by Robert Munafo as a series of individual frames for a website design based on xkcd but functioning as a player (inspired by the geekwagon player for Time). The RHTF, original HTML and CSS, and JavaScript are by Robert Munafo.
