To the Oscars... And step on it!

Well indeed as depicted in the accompanying image, a flaccid victory for our very own James Braithwaite --half of the brain power behind Pony of Prey.

You might have heard of an animated short called "I Met The Walrus", in which a young Jerry Levitan sneaks an interview with John Lennon while visiting Toronto in 1969. Well the recording was unearthed and brought to the table of a one Mr. Josh Raskin. The project entailed a visual treatment to this audio recording, and so young Josh got to work assembling his dream team of co-conspirators. Alex Kurina was in charge of the vector graphics and our own sweet prince James Braithwaite skillfully navigated the frame by frame illustrations, while Josh took the seat as the director and lead animator.

Now what's the big hubbub about this animated short? Well the people over at the Academy Awards would probably say something like "If your eye's had an appetite, you'd be crying gravy after viewing this stunningly symbolic visual representation of that interview recorded with John Lennon in 1969." In fact they most likely said something to that effect because "I Met The Walrus" is officially nominated for an Academy award!

Please allow yourself to view this as soon as you have a chance, I promise you will be shocked and awed by the axis of emotion that this animated short will bring.

The Academy Awards for 2007 will be presented on Sunday, February 24, 2008, but I'm sure I don't need to tell you that.
