Some neighbors of mine are having a movie veiwing of Waking Life. I saw that you were in it and just wanted to pass on the good words. Wiley, you always were a phenomenal artist at McCallum. Keep it up. I am so glad you are making your way through time with your talents.
I totally sent in a resume to work on that film but whenever I would try to send a fax I all I would get was an answering machine. I finally got it through, but never got a reply. Fart.
I didn't find the trailer, but if it is what it looks to me I second the comment on AICN...
"This is traced live action, not animation. It's a cool technique but it's not an 'animated film'."

You'll see.
The majority of what is happening in frame did not exist on video. Some of the shots I saw involved sprawling electronic monitoring stations that were completely the creation of the artist, yet they were indistinguishably as 'real' as the artwork that referenced live actors.
Rotoscoping is an important animation tool that has been in use since Disney's Snow white. It's nothing new and nothing different that "regular" animation.
Actually, Max and Dave Fleischer invented the Rotoscope in 1915. Snow White wasn't released until 1937. The main animator for Snow White was a former Fleischer Studios artist.
Got a troll, which was inevitable. Comments will probably need to be disabled again. Don't have the time or energy to delete all his crap if he starts up again.
