Richard Linklater's - WAKING LIFE (2001)

...NIBSTOCK!!! 3 weeks of multi-media mind-mapping continues with...
...Waking Life, a digitally enhanced live action rotoscoped film, shot using digital video and then a team of artists using computers drew stylized lines and colors over each frame. This technique is similar in some respects to the rotoscope style of 1970s filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, which was invented in the 1920s.

The title is a reference to George Santayana's maxim that "[s]anity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled."^[1]
