John Lamb: Tom Waits for No One
363 Airport Road, Oceanside, 92058
Cost: Free
John Lamb will read from his book Tom Waits for No One: The Illustrated Scrapbook, followed by a multi-media showing of the original animated video and the live-action footage of Tom Waits, which the video was based upon. The book celebrates the making of this obscure but significant film.
With a foreword by music video historian Professor Gunnar Strøm, the film is identified as a pioneering American music video and possibly the first animated and rotoscoped music video ever made. The short film was Tom Waits’ first music video and represents the first job in animation for David Silverman, director of The Simpsons and Monsters Inc.
