you should try to do a 5-6 minute short like this. it would be interesting to see. but like you said, a 6 second clip took 65 hours to make, so a 480 second video (8 minutes) would take roughly 5200 hours if working alone. damn. but great job on this animation. looks great
Disney's earlier animation used rotoscoping simply as a motion capture technique. And it did take an army of animators. It's only efficient when done in assembly line fashion. Also people should note that A Scanner Darkly was not rotoscoped the same way this was. They used a vector based program that makes use of keyframes and significantly reduces the time needed - and that took 15 months. Manually, and without manpower, would take astronomically longer. Nothing against that, movie, I love it.
That is cool dude! nice roto! though I would have either let the background blank or made simple lines of the surroundings. Ow and here's a something you might or might not know: Flash is an excellent program to rotoscope in, it gives you an easy way to duplicate or create blank frames (f5&f6) and it also has "union skinning" wich I think is a very nice feature. All this speeds up the time consuming job of rotoscoping. Keep em commin' man! bigup!
I think it would be very little trouble in gathering an animator army...theres tons of new graduate freelancers who need work out there. One would just need a budget for the biz.
@innerguardianXIII ha well if he had the time. Although if he did it at 24 frames per second for an hour and a half he'd have to draw 129,600 drawings. It would take him four years if he drew for three hours every single day and got each drawing down to two minutes - that doesn't include editing or anything else. If he did that I would stab the man who didn't give him a fucking Oscar! Lol.
@curzmg if he can teach people his style, and they worked alongside the same project, it CAN be done, maybe even make a new filter with Movie editing software, although saying that, i DO hate how Scanner Darkly and such didn't really get a good reception, regardless of ALL the effort put into it, goes to show people don't care about effort and time put into something they wanted to show, instead they go for SUCH Bull crap like Meet the Fockers or Alvin and The Chipmunks.
that wasn't very nice..

rotoscoping is a pain in the ass I did it using sony vegas to make a light saber effect it takes for ever
