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."


This is such an interesting piece of work. It is really amazing to hear what Lennon had to say even though the "interview" was unannounced and unprepared for. I just find it hard to believe that someone could be so well-grounded in their beliefs that they could convey their ideas as clearly as Mr. Lennon did. It's inspiring I'd say.

Outstanding work by Jerry Levitan, Josh Raskin, James Braithwaite, Alex Kurina, and co. for putting this video together.
