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 has 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.

Traducción paja: en 1969 un flaco de 14 años le hizo una entrevista a Lennon metiendose en su cuarto, y 38 años despues, produjo esta animación.

Me fascina como usan los ruidos de ambiente y los incluyen como grafica, como la parte que suena el telefono...genial!
