Reporting directly from Neil Gaiman’s blog: Good Omens, the fagnificent spawn of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, is being adapted for television by Terry Jones (Monty Python) and Gavin Scott (Small Soldiers). The producer will be Rod Brown, who already lead the BBC versions of Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather and The Colour of Magic. He did a great job capturing the fantastic and gritty ambientation of Discworld’s characters, and I am sure that this coming in 2013 BBC miniseries will be up to the fan base expectations.
Okay, here it is! The finished motion graphics assignment for school of my favorite book, Good Omens. It’s missing a few key characters (Shadwell, Madame Tracy, and rest of The Them—among others—due to them pesky time constraints), so hopefully I can get a revised version with everyone included up soon! Even though I’m not entirely happy with the end result, it was definitely fun to make. The streaming is disjointed and iffy if you don’t fullscreen it, but it’s not in particularly high quality either, SO. I’m sorry about that! I’ll change it when I can. In any case, enjoy. ♥

25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?
26 And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.
27 And the Lord did not ask him again.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, [ie., everybody.] to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won’t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.30 Days of Neil Gaiman quotes | Good Omens

Red looked at her nails. “That’s good. It wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have a good thunderstorm. Any idea how far we’ve got to ride?”
Black shrugged. “A few hundred miles.”
“I thought it’d be longer, somehow. All that waiting, just for a few hundred miles.”
“It’s not the travelling,” said Black. “It’s the arriving that matters.”Good Omens (Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett)
