BSA306, Tom Petty and animation, 4 October, 2017

Tom Petty died this week.  There have been tributes to him all over the news and the internet.  This one from nofilmschool.com looks at his videos.
Runnin' Down a Dream is referencing Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay. Thank you, film and animation history classes! I like the greyscale palette and thick lines around the main part of the action.  Directed by Jim Lenahan with animation by someone who doesn't seem to be credited anywhere on the internet.  What's up with that?

This appears to be early 3D animation combined with 2D.  Great song, great video.  One of many.
