35 years ago, "Tom Waits For No One", a rotoscoped, animated music video was made. It debuted a year before Ralph Bakshi's rotoscoped American Pop, and almost 2 years before MTV first aired. And then it slipped into obscurity, almost as quickly as it had arrived. Directed by Academy Award winner John Lamb and featuring a Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Tom Waits, the film has been hailed as pioneering American music video. This book tells the story behind the film: its conception, the revolutionary tools used to make it, along with the talented animators and the amazing art created for the film itself. For a film almost forgotten, "Tom Waits For No One: The Illustrated Scrapbook" reveals the story of this film's unique combination of music, animation, cutting edge tools and young talent who would go on to become leaders in music and animation.
