3. One of the promo items for Waking Life is a coloring book
One of the promo items for Waking Life is a coloring book. If you take a stab at it with your crayons, you'll be neatly implicated in the film's philosophical subtext. Richard Linklater's new movie is animated, but the imagery and action are derived from real people. The cast was shot with digital cameras, and the subsequent footage was first edited and then processed with computer software and a device called the Wacom Tablet - the sexy beast of current animation. Video is manipulated into painterly impressionism with the stroke of an electronic pen.

5. A Scanner Darkly
This film uses an animation technique called Rotoscoping, which you may remember from the film ‘Tron’, 1982, or the pop videos ‘Take on Me’ by Aha and Money for Nothing’ by Dire Straits. It is where animators trace live action movement, frame by frame.

6. A Scanner Darkly, Richard Linklater
A team of more than 50 artists labored for over a year to turn the entire film from live action to animation.
These stills show how the film changes people into cartoonish versions of themselves.
