Waking Life

Wakinglifelrg_1A friend turned us on to Waking Life, written and directed by Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused).  It is a visionary animated film of deep play that is stylistically innovative and spiritually rich in content (spritualityhealth.com).  (view trailer)

This is definitely worth checking out if only to see an amazing genre of film production but there is also a very interesting approach to laying out a quest for understanding universal truths.

Linklater shot the film on video then animated it with software and hardware called the Wacom Tablet.  When you visit the film's site check out "roboscoping" under 'About' to learn more about some of the production techniques used in this truly innovative film.
