I Met The Walrus

My good friend Craig Parrillo recommended this amazing video merging a brief interview with John Lennon with some great animation behind it. The results are fantastic. Here's a brief description:

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrator James Braithwaite have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack. A spellbinding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit and timeless message, I Met the Walrus was nominated for the 2008 Academy Award for Animated Short."

i remember seeing this and loving it! so glad you posted it, especially as a wonderful style of animation that kind of shows how easy and potentially accessible it might be for folks who love to draw to animate too. thanks Craig!
