Directed by Bruno VeSota and produced by Roger Corman and star Ed Nelson, this six-day production has a can-do attitude that’s difficult to dismiss. Nelson plays a scientist investigating space parasites that are turning his friends into mind-controlled killers—one of those zombies is played by Leonard Nimoy. Being a Corman production it features a nifty title sequence by Robert Balser and unforgettable poster art by Albert Kallis.

Animation director on the Beatles film Yellow Submarine

Made to the typical standards of TV cartoons at that time, it showed no hint of what was to come with the feature film.
He was contacted by the Beatles again to do the animated titles and inserts on their Magical Mystery Tour film, which aired on the BBC on Boxing Day 1967. The following year came Yellow Submarine: there was barely a script to work from,...
