Peter Sluszka creates animation sequences for Miguel Arteta’s major motion picture “Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp” starring actor Michael Cera. Sluszka worked closely with the director and the star to create the animation used in the opening title sequence and the end credits. Sluszka also directed Cera in a pixelation sequence that follows his character, Nick, and his friend, Vijay, on a road trip, as well as a scene with Nick seen hallucinating some enthusiastic lovemaking couples as they float off the pages of an instructional book.
