First animation with Toon Boom Studio (also possible with Photoshop CS4 and After Effects)

[MrGrafxguy]

nice job

[robereke]

@MrGrafxguy Thanx for your reaction. Good luck with After Effects, it's a wonderful piece of software.

[lungtenwangchuk2011]

Make longer.... maybe you only know this much...

[robereke]

@lungtenwangchuk2011 It only was a small test. Thanks for the reaction.

[UbwniaMusic]

A-ha - Take On me!

First song that came to my mind!

Well done.

[robereke]

@UbwniaMusic Was one of my favorites! Thanks for remembering me!

[arminbagrat]

nice one

[robereke]

@arminbagrat Thank you, very kind of you. I hope to make something new soon.

[PWComics]

Nice... make another one!!

[robereke]

@roblex42 Thanx for your reaction. I only do not understand what you mean by "Something just doesn't seem right!!".

[rayghaanul]

rotoscoping is supa despised by old school animators, animators like Miyazaki said it himself that its actually cheating but still the effect roroscope gives is awesum i noticed Naruto Shippuden makes use of rotoscoping alot especially the big climax battles eg naruto nine tails vs pain was fully rotoscoped.

[robereke]

@rayghaanul Thank you for your information. Very appreciated.

[Melazee01]

@rayghaanul Old school Disney animators used to Rotoscope actually ;)

[DJMC5ive]

reminds me of that movie "waking life"

[robereke]

@DJMC5ive That's too big a compliment for a humble person. Nice mixing and impressive music on your channel by the way.

[DJMC5ive]

@robereke Thank you robereke! That was very kind of you. I was just describing what I saw in your video, to some it might not be that way, but to me it is. I'm also working on a project of audio...it lets you hear what you want out of a song, instead of always being the same. Ie you could hear "true" or "false" in the song, or many other things.

[robereke]

@DJMC5ive Hi DJMC5ive Wouldn't it be nice to produce interactive music DVD's where people could switch live between multiple mixing styles with their remote control, just as you now can switch between different language audio channels? 

[DJMC5ive]

@robereke yes thats a great idea! We took this same Idea into account, and using transposition, we combine melodies together. Ie at any given point in the song there are several songs playing that are compatible musically, using panning to create a virtual space in which they find a niche.

[roblex42]

@robereke

wow did this conversation take place on youtube??? It was respectful and grown up. Something just doesn't seem right!!

[Etown040]

nice u used a real racket

[TheMoD1234]

I like that the racket isn't rotoscoped. well done

[robereke]

@TheMoD1234

Well seen. Thanks for your compliment and good luck with your undertakings.

[robereke]

well done!

[InternalStryke]

nice, now do it withought rotoscoping :D

[cr0nt0]

did he miss?

[robereke]

@cr0nt0

Good question! ;-)

[tripleS9000]

tht was nice

looks proffesional

do u plan on continuing tht vid

[robereke]

@tripleS9000

Thanks for your reaction. I would like very much to extend this animation, but I have too many other things to do at the moment.

[MoroccanSword]

this is fake ! you traced a movie haha instead of drawing like a man

[Pitchblack7720]

haha yeahh, check mines and let me know wut you think mayne? thankss

[Whistt]

It's called rotoscoping...

and any real animator knows that rotoscoping is for those wussy motion graphics kids like you said. Be a man...don't rotoscope.

[SamHain1031666]

Many films were made that way dude

[jayblueridgesumilhig]

it's vectoring......:D>..nice one

[Banes500]

nice work! It looks great! How long did it take you to rotoscope this?

[robereke]

I think it was one or two hours. Just fun to do with a drawing tablet.

[matrixate]

@robereke Wow....that was pretty good. So, no matter what, it's frame by frame in any video. No shortcuts?

[celiokopik]

Muito interessante. Congratulations !

I would like to know if your background image is a photo ? How did you make in Toom Boom ? Could you explain ? Thaks - obrigado from Brazil

[robereke]

It's simple. There is no background, nor still picture. The boy in the video (which runs at 25 frames per second) is painted over. This technique is often called rotoscoping. Thanks for your question. Muito obrigado.

[heygustin]

yes, i have it. Thank you for answer!

i will make the same and i will show you, i say it again: you video is so cool. bye, see you.

From Argentina!!

[robereke]

Cordiales saludos desde Holanda y mucho éxito!

[heygustin]

waw, ists so nice.. how you made it?

[robereke]

Took video of my son first at 12 fps; then exported as image sequence; imported in Toon Boom and painted over it. You don't have Toon Boom? No problem, you can easily do this in Photoshop CS4 or Adobe After Effects.

[jazzistoobad]

That is just great!

[HazellStar]

amazing job! i hope i get to do that. im downloading it right now.

[GWashington1732]

Very good animation. This was your first try?

[bboymoon1234]

wow thats crazy shit!!! :D :D :D

[RWAcp]

rotoscoping...nice

[RealHeadz]

very nice man.... great work... have you made any projects other than this?

[stupidioteque]

awesome!

[robereke]

one or two hours, if I remember well

[ryanmaguire102]

how you get it to image sequence?

[evgmas]

you can import video to toon boom

[ryanmaguire102]

what format?

[TheBurgerShack]

what formats are possible? I've been trying to import into toon boom for quite some time and no formats work for me.

[Hotshotter3000]

I assume you rotoscoped it, very very nice. :)

[mdi100]

Yes I did. Thank you for the compliment.

[KILLERZ0000]

it works for mac and win right?

[robereke]

Yes indeed!

[SporeFinatic]

that 4.5? cause that awesome!

[AbraShazaabra]

Rotoscoping takes for-freakin'-ever, you must be a very patient person.

[matrixate]

@AbraShazaabra Really? Geez. I am trying to figure out a shortcut. I love that effect. So, is it true that everything out there is frame by frame drawing/manipulation?

[Kott3n]

wow, nice done! ^^

[bashscrazy]

thats cool! nice j0b
