He demonstrates some of his drawing techniques, and conducts a brief tour of his studio in England showing how film animation is produced from hand-drawn cells. This documentary contains several examples from his work including The Flying Man, Damon the Mower, the Beatles animated film The Yellow Submarine and sketches for a film about Shakespeare's The Tempest. Dunning discusses techniques that transform drawings and paintings into film, how cells are built up of layers of images from background to foreground details, \"peg\" animation, the interplay of picture and soundtrack, how he developed the unusual sequential drawings for Damon the Mower and his debt to Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren. George Dunning's name became known to the wider world in 1968 with the release of the wildly popular and influential Beatlesanimation extravaganza Yellow Submarine, produced by Dunning's company T.V.C. London. He served as the overall director, supervising the army of over 200 artists entrusted with realising the film in the frighteningly brief period of eleven months. He also conceived and took personal charge of the 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' sequence. Photographs and behind-the-scenes footage suggest that throughout production Dunningwas the only animator on the staff who wore a suit.
