It's a short animation/music video I made for the They Might Be Giants song Istanbul (not Constantinople) using paper, pencil and Adobe Premiere. I made this in 2002 while I attended Franciscan University of Steubenville studying Computer Science and Mathematics.

Welcome to the video that has become a full time occupation for me. Every day I remove hundreds of comments from angry Turks/Greeks who think this lighthearted cover of a 1950's song is an attack on their political views. In fact, it is just Brooklyn's ambassadors of love They Might Be Giants performing 'Istanbul Not Constantinople' live on MTV Europe in 1990.

This is a video I did for my AP World History class. It's based on the book 1453 by Roger Crowley. The book was okay, and it was a great event to base a movie off of. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CLIPS. This is not based off any movie that's coming out any time soon.

The Fall of Constantinople in the face of Sultan Mehmet II, on Tuesday, May 29, 1453. This marked not only the final destruction of the Eastern Roman ("Byzantine") Empire, and the martyrdom of Constantine XI, the last Roman Emperor, but also the strategic conquest crucial for Ottoman hegemony over the Eastern Mediterranean and Balkans.
