'''''Waking Life''''' is a 2001 [[Rotoscoping|semi-animated]] film by [[Richard Linklater]]. The plot follows a young man walking through a lucid dream where he observes and enters into dialogue about lofty philosophical concepts and theories. The film itself was initially shot on digital video, and then drawn over by a team of animators. The resulting look is fairly unique, and manages to evoke dream-like imagery on a shoestring budget.
 
Despite lacking a traditional plot, visuals, or even trained actors, the film won a great deal of praise for its innovation and unique look. The film won the Best Feature Grand Prize at the 2002 [[Ottawa International Animation Festival]], and [[Roger Ebert]] would add it to his list of Great Movies in 2009.
