Sunday Evening Videos: Pepperland Revisited
“Requiem For Pepperland” by Go Van Gogh, animated by Rudy Panucci:
The above video may seem familiar to regular readers of PopCult. It’s the video I created last year for Go Van Gogh’s “Yellow Submarine” inspired song, “Requiem For Pepperland.” I’ve been listening to a lot of Beatles lately, and had fun at Stephen Becker’s movie night in Elkview last night (Stephen wrote the song, and probably played all the instruments on this recording, which is a demo), so I thought I’d re-post the video I designed and animated for the Radio Free Charleston Beatle’s tribute show using Stphen’s 1989-vintage song.
After the jump, you’ll find more Beatles and Beatle-inspired goodness.
Below is a tribute cartoon made by the mysterious “animator and pop culture enthusiast” Stelos485.
The Beatles themselves, with “All You Need Is Love” from The Yellow Submarine movie. In this clip, you can see part of the inspiration for the Radio Free Charleston logo.
From The Rutles classic animated feature “Yellow Submarine Sandwich,” it’s the song “Cheese and Onions.”
Here’s “Yellow Submarine” in animated LEGO form.
"Hey Bulldog" was one of four original songs by The Beatles that were on the "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack. However, this sequence was cut from the US prints of the film, and it was not widely seen on our shores until the 1999 DVD release.
Some folks have to have all their entertainment translated into Star Wars references in order to enjoy it.
Finally, we have a cool animated vidoe for a song called “Saint Lucy’s Drive,” created at Coventry University.

I read a column you wrote about Andy Prieboy and I am hoping you will like the video I made for the new Prieboy song BANDS which I downloaded from his website. I think you will at least like the song. His new songs are pretty amazing. Since you’re a fan, you should definitely check them out.
The video I made is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHAuRegKzg
There is a review of Prieboy’s new stuff here:

[…] AMV, or “Anime Music Video,” is a rather cool DIY side effect of today’s digital age. Fans are taking clips from their favorite pieces of Japanese animation, and editing them into music videos by various musical acts. Then they upload the results to YouTube to share with other fans. One local person doing this is Kristin Collier, a friend of RFC who made a cameo appearance in the video I created for Go Van Gogh’s song “Requiem For Pepperland.” Above you see Kristin’s video for the song “Rebirth” by Skillet. It uses clips from the Anime, Mai-Otome. […]
