Heinz Edelmann, Now RIP

Heinz Edelmann was the graphic designer who created Yellow Submarine. As a big Beatles fan I've always loved the film - sure it's pretty goofy but it's a lot of fun. And, of course, filled with great music.

Edelmann and the other artists and writers that worked on Yellow Submarine deserve all the credit. From what I've read the four Beatles had very little to do with the making of the film (it's not even their voices for the characters, lol!) But, wisely, once they saw it they got on board and filmed the live trailer at the end of the movie.

In some ways Yellow Submarine was an early re-mix, taking the creative output of the Beatles as a start and adding in a lot of other talent.

I've always wished I could get the rights and develop a Yellow Submarine video game. (Maybe some Yellow Submarine footage will appear in Beatles Rock Band.) And wouldn't it make a great Broadway play.

Usual NY Times link.



Heinz Edelmann, may he now RIP.
