I thought Linklater handed out clips of the film to animators and let them animate. Was it still rotoscoped ona Mac despite this?-crynyd
What is the relevance of animating on Macs? If there is any, it's not clear and should be elaborated in it's own subsection.
The link called "Fan Site" appears to be only very loosely, if at all, related to the film. I didn't remove it because I thought I might be missing something.ThreeDee07:51, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The annoying thing about Wikipedia is that every article imparts a distinct approval or despising of its subject. Here, the editors pull no punches as to their opinion on the film. Look:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/waking_life/
Why has Wikipedia sided with the fans? Not everyone is a fan. The intellectual snobbery shines. Listen up; you're not right or wrong. Stop calling things "interesting" (is it okay to say "uninteresting" too?), "innovative" (how about "hackneyed"?), "unsurprisingly" (how can we say that when we cannot prove what constitutes actual "surprise"?) and stacking comparisons to prove your argument, for example: The animators used relatively inexpensive "off-the-shelf" Apple Macintosh computers (as opposed to the expensive supercomputers and computer clusters used by Pixar and DreamWorks). Encyclopedias should not contain arguments for or against anything, nor ANY comparisons. The reader is the ONLY ONE who should be comparing things. He, not the encyclopedia, should write the editorial and conclude a point from the facts. The burden of comparison, evaluation and interpretation should be upon him alone. The ideal, objective reference article should be pointless and inconclusive.
Drop the POV, please. Don't balance it with another bullshit "criticism" section. State what the movieis, not what you, your dog, your girlfriend think or what Ebert, Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler believe. It is not encyclopedic, reference-worthy content to restate other people's opinions. Stop it!—Precedingunsigned comment added by71.235.238.180 (talk •contribs)
Does the link to Glover Gill's site belong here, or on the entry for Gill (which currently does not exist)? - 20, April 2007

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used underfair use but there is noexplanation or rationale as to why its use inthis Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described oncriteria for speedy deletion.

I'm removing the "(voice)" tags from the names of the actors. The film was rotoscoped from live action footage, meaning they *are* actually there on film, just with some effects applied. This certainly doesn't make them voice actors and nothing else.72.195.158.180 (talk)18:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Be careful- I know of at least one scene where the actor was changed to a chimpanzee, so his credit should remain "voice."172.135.97.91 (talk)20:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The transcript was, for a long period of time, linked from the main article. Is there a valid reasonnot to include a link to it, if it's available? Yes, I host it, but I'm not sure that's relavant. :)Strivinglife (talk)03:48, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I made an edit to this page last night that has been deleted. I pointed out that the scene where the man talks about having to shoot a man stealing tires is a story taken directly from Martin Scorcese's documentary "American Boy". It has been deleted but Steven Prince's name has been added to the list of cast members. While I didn't realize that it was Steven Prince reprising the role, I still think that it is pertinent to add that it is a scene reprised from another film.—Precedingunsigned comment added byDunmer63 (talk •contribs)18:06, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the spelling of Louis to Lewis Black, the comedian. The reference that shows he was in Waking Life also spelled his name wrong, but the reference clearly refers to a comedian. Unless there is a comedian named LOUIS Black that I am unaware of, it is spelled Lewis. 06:16, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Lewis Black, the comedian, is NOT in the movie. The Louis Black in "Waking Life" is somebody else. Look up 'Louis Black' and you'll find out who he is.76.91.12.233 (talk)22:53, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
