Autobahn (1979)

Howdy, Folks!

A visual interprtation of Kraftwerk’s music Autobahn. A fast paced experimental film which proved to be a ground breaking combination of electronic and manual animation. It has now become an icon of late seventies design and music. One of the first films produced specifically for video disk. Animation by Roger Mainwood. Released by Halas and Batchelor films in the UK.

Roger's first film after leaving the Royal College of Art and starting work for Halas and Batchelor. Kraftwerk released Autobahn in 1974, but their record company commissioned this film in 1979 for release on laser disc.

~ Hey, Peter!

Thanks for the additional info on Autobahn. One of my favorite albums of all-time. I didn't know about the laser disk connection. I saw this film at an animation festival when it came out and the audience wents nuts!
