Video Break #4

Just stumbled across this video entitled "I Met the Walrus" by account imetthewalrus...and had to link it immediately. 

The bio for it read: "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."



Daily headphones: "Better in Time" by Leona Lewis, "Addicted" by Saving Abel, and for some related Christmas cheer John Lennon's version of "So This is Christmas"
