Animating to existing audio - I Met the Walrus (2006)

I have recently been discussing my graduation project with my tutors and one option is to enter the RSA Student Design Awards this year. To enter, I would need to animate a one minute audio excerpt from a lecture (provided by RSA). This would actually be somewhat of a challenge, as it takes away the control and timing of a scripted narration. I was concerned that matching imagery to somebody talking so fast would be, perhaps jarring, and actually quite difficult.

Ged showed me an animation related to this area - 'I Met the Walrus'. It is an award winning collaborative film, that animates the conversation/interview between John Lennon and a 14 year old boy in 1969. It is extremely good and flows well. I find it very inspiring, but can definitely see the sheer amount of work that went into it!
