you are amazing! the work you put into this is inspiring!

@vidsforcheese glad to inspire some ppl here :) ... the patience that went into this project ... i tell ya, 3 months of no real life. haha

[nelsonjoey]

really good job,

what program did you use to rotoscope?

[JohnnyThunderzzz]

@nelsonjoey thanks man! i only used flash.

This is really awesome. I loved it. Must've been a pain to do this frame by frame, and having the original camera moving... I imagine you used an actual person as a reference for movement, maybe?

I just know it's really well executed for the film it is, and I find this a really inspiring work. Great job!

@DeltaDiseased thanks a lot! yes, a friend of mine walked around with a motorbike helmet on his head and i rotoscoped over him. sounds easy but you have to draw a new character over the movement. but thats every 2nd frame because the human eyes is so lazy haha. i did frame by frame for the lipsync but that took so much time that everything else was 2nd frame done. itwas tons of work and happy to hear that it inspired you!
