Richard Linklater’s animated film ‘Waking Life’ sees it’s UK cinema release this weekend. I think Matt may have mentioned it in the past, but I just saw a short documentary on it Sky News is running and have been completely blown away. The film is of special interest to Mac users as it was made on a host of G4s. Footage was shot by a small crew as normal live action on DV camcorders. The footage was then converted in Quicktime, before being passed through rotoscoping/animation software on the Macs to give it a comic book look. Waking Life is a series of vignettes exploring the boundries between reality and dream worlds, communication and human desires. It opens in cinemas across the UK this Friday, and receives its R1 DVD release on the 7th May.
