I met the Walrus
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.
This short film came out last year and was even a candidate for an Oscar (which, evidently, it didn't win). The reason why I'm posting it now is that it finally became available through youtube (around a month ago, actually). SO by all means DO enjoy. It is great in many different ways. And if you would like to read more about it visit the official site
