I Met The Walrus

This short film, I Met The Walrus was nominated last year for Best Animated Short at the Oscars. You can finally see the full 5 minute film on YouTube, and it's absolutely worth it. The animation and story behind the film is so cool. Speaking of which, here's the back story:

'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'.

5 Things I've Never Done

I was tagged through my YouTube channel to say 5 random things that I've never done, and then respond with 1 thing that I have done that the person who tagged me said they hadn't. There's obviously a lot more than 5 things that I haven't done, but this was my response.

Educated Detours

I'm about to head back to Regina this weekend for the first time since leaving university a few months ago. It should be a good time, but I figured it would be fitting to post the short film I made a couple summers ago, Educated Detours. The project was about life after school and treasure hunting in Saskatchewan! I went into a bit more detail when I first posted this movie, but the full project can be screened below. There's also a trailer if you want a brief overview.
