Xplodin Film

Xplodin Film (formerly known as jsullivan1998) is the secondary channel that belongs to Jack Sullivan. The channel was the first to be created and was previously used to produce the Angry Birds Craptastic Adventures (ABCA) series. The channel was left for a while in February of 2013, with Jack wanting to take a break from the YouTube scene and to relieve stress that had built up as his audience had grown way larger than he had anticipated, before receiving an upload 2 and a half years later informing the creation of the Xplodin Apple channel as well as the end of ABCA in an hour long movie concluding the series.

The channel since has now been renamed to Xplodin Film and is now mainly used in videos based around old early-20th century movies, generally in black and white and sometimes with little to no sound at all, replicating how short films were back around that time period.

## Event timeline Craptastic Adventures from 2011 to 2013)

The Xplodin Film channel (formerly known as jsullivan1998) was created on March 17, 2009, though no videos were uploaded to the channel for another 2 and a half years until August 2011 with the upload of ‘Real Life Angry Birds’ being the first video ever uploaded to the channel. The video mainly consists of Jack launching the birds using what is presumed to be a custom made slingshot of the stair railings to launch the birds up to the top of the stairs where the pigs fortress was created. It was noted that, in that exact video, Jack used actual eggs as a way to mimic the Flock's eggs.

Since that video’s release over 8 years ago, it has obtained a total of 1.7 million views on YouTube, and whilst a sequel shortly followed afterwards, it only managed to achieve a mere 250,000 views, significantly less than its predecessor.

Craptastic Adventures officially began on November 5, 2011 with the release of ‘Baby sitter’ depicting King Pig disguising himself as a baby sitter in an attempt to steal the eggs from the angry birds, which whilst a great idea, failed miserably in concept, resulting in his defeat. This video has since become the second most popular video on the channel hosting a total of 2.5 million views, only being beaten by ‘Ice Birds Nightmare’ sitting at 3 million views.

ABCA would span on for the next 16 months, spanning a total of 3 seasons and 25 episodes within that time, as well as a 5 part movie in mid-2012. Around this time, the channel started to grow immensely with popularity, gaining subscribers as well as videos obtaining more and more views. Whilst Jack was excited about the initial jump in popularity, it did start to stress him out, with him eventually taking a sudden break without warning in February 2013.

## Absence

After the second part of Sharkbutt strikes back was uploaded back on February 24th 2013, Jack silently stepped away from the Chanel without warning for a deserved break. Whilst at the time it was not known as to why he went missing, he later revealed that he had become rather stressed from the amount of popularity he was getting, and decided to take a break from ABCA as to relieve that stress and calm down from it.

The channel would lay dormant and inactive for 2 and a half years, with no new videos being posted at all before Jack returned around September with the creation of Xplodin Apple, though he knew that starting anew would not be easy, and also knew he had to inform fans of Jsullivan1998 about his decision.

Finally, on November 8th, 2015, Jack uploaded to Jsullivan1998, explaining both his decision on creating a new channel as well as his absence and why he did it. Several weeks afterwards, the final chapter of ABCA was released, closing the book on the story of ABCA.

## Xplodin Film (2015 to now)

After the end of ABCA, it was then replaced by the Studder Show before going on to be a channel made for skits. The first skit after the end of the ABCA series was Real Life Five Nights at Freddy's, a callback to the name from his first ever video on the channel. A few months later, the skits evolved into a more 1920’s esque style, using monochromatic visuals, music, and animations as well as several movies completely silent, mimicking that time period. The channel was rebranded from Jsullivan1998 to Xplodin Film, and whilst comments have been disabled on all his older videos, the series can still be watched from beginning to end.

## Trivia

* This is the first channel to be owned by Jack, with the second being Xplodin Apple
* The channel itself is more than 10 years old, though Jack did not start uploading videos to it until late-2011 (probably due to the age requirement to be at least 13 years old)
* All videos of the ABCA series since the rebranding of the channel have since removed the ability to post comments on them. This can be speculated as to prevent people from requesting him to bring back the series given the current circumstances.
* Despite the channel being over 10 years old, only a total of 166 videos have been uploaded to it, nearly 10 times less than the Xplodin Apple channel, though this could be because of Xplodin Apple being his primary channel, and not Xplodin Film, which is now treated more like a secondary channel.
* Despite the minimal amount of videos in comparison to Xplodin Apple, Xplodin Film retains more views, holding a total of 34 million views total. A majority of these views comes from his former main series Angry Birds Craptastic Adventures
* A large portion of the thumbnails for his silent movies are done by Jack himself.
