Patricia Taxxon was nice enough to let me use her music. I took songs from the Albums Telecommunications, Traveller, Nostalgia, Gallery, and Paul. You can find them here: / @patricia_taxxon
To watch the bit of animation by Lilly Ashton that didn't make its way into final video, go here: • On Exactitude in Science
Two places where I used poetic license.
1) The final short in the Rip Van Winkle series was released a few years after 1896.
2) In the scene with an Aang poster in the film, it's actually not a wanted poster, she's putting it up to signal to the world that the avatar has returned. Still, the scene visually evokes The Deserter
Notes on the episodes of Avatar name dropped:
Jet: The Gaang encounters a radical who believes that liberation is worth any price and who is willing to act immorally in order to reach his goals. His belief is challenged by the notion that revolution must always be moral.
The Northern Air Temple: Aang must come to terms with the fact that his traditional world is gone. He has to accept that progress happens and that it can be good even when it hurts his sense of self and history.
The Fortune Teller: A town has been so indoctrinated into believing the words of a mystic, and they have staked their egos so thoroughly on their trust for her, that they aren’t willing to do what’s necessary to save their own lives.
The Waterbending Master: Pakku, a waterbending master, refuses to teach Katara because she’s a woman. He realizes, in the end, that his dogmatism and rigidness came at the cost of his fiance.
