Week 7

I Met the Walrus is a pretty fantastic example of experimental animation. There are instances of kinetic typography, rotoscoping, original design, and it even appears as if there is some live-action video as well. There are also tons of instances of a vector mask throughout the piece: to reveal a sidewalk, to show a building, to illustrate a flowery design and much more. One example of the shape tween used appears at 4:10 to shift each country into another.

The interview comes alive in a way that is only capable through animation. Every word is animation in a cohesive way, each part is connected and leads into the other.
