This is not really rotoscoping...

[pxlpainter]

@roswellmj777 - you're absolutely right - this isn't traditional "rotoscoping" per se, rather a "roto-removal" of sorts, using tools in After Effects. The elements are indeed roto-traced and time-shifted from other parts of the image, which isn't evident in this video.

@pxlpainter - he wanted to say, that this is not ROTO, 'cause this is no camera movements. You can do exacly the same thing with photoshop and just one mask :)

[pxlpainter]

@AdrianPacholec - You are unfortunately incorrect. The purpose of this technique is to remove elements in the shot and replace with video sample resources from the footage - not a simple static mask. Plus you are also confusing Roto with Motion Tracking, which are also completely different. The post-production industry refers to this technique as to "Roto-out" an element, but my technique isn't using a frame-by-frame process.

You obviously don't know what Rotoscoping is! :/

Its how you get rid of stuff in a scene like wires and unwanted content. You might want to check out his tutorial on his blog which explains it further.

@pxlpainter - so... ok. I always thought that rotoscoping is a bit like blueboxing but without a green screen. (so, cutting frame by frame using masks) But I'm just still learning. Sorry, and nice work. :)

@pxlpainter, so.. ok. I always thought that rotoscoping is just removing background (some kind of blueboxing, but without the greenscreen), but, ok, sorry I'm still just learning. And nice video :)

I have to agree, this is not an example of rotoscoping. it's a nice bit of removal though.
