Norman Maurer was ahead of his time in the basic concept. But the problem is that the process failed to "capture" each frame of live action and convert it into an "animated figure." The results are what appears to be cheap animation made by making every fourth drawing and doubling or trippling the exposure per drawing. It simply does not contain the fluidity of the original.

A later successor of Artiscope (forget the name but a clip is on Cartoon Brew) was used by Ralph Bakshi to "cheat" live-action footage to look like animation in Lord of the Rings and American Pop...

Yup, it is. But the two kinda mean the same thing, generally.

You can't spell. Also, you don't quite get the meaning of my comment. "If they (the producers of this old film) only knew what technology we have today...". Get it now?
My idiot? Yes you are.

Since the same wrong guesses are cycling back again, I repeat the explanation:
This is not motion capture and it's not rotoscope. It's a process called Artiscope (aka, Cinemagic), which was invented by Moe Howard's son-in-law, Norman Maurer, who also produced this picture. As touted in the movie, it was designed to create cartoons without using animators. It was an entirely photochemical process, and only required slight touch ups by an actual artist.
Google Artiscope + Maurer.

that looks like rotoscoping, not mo-cap.
-
Ha ha, really.
It's sad that he's become obsessed with mo-cap, seeing as he made great films like Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Don't mean to sound like a total internet knob, but that's not motion capture, it's rotoscoping....*goes and sits back in nerdy corner*

They wear contrasty clothes to ease the rotoscoping process. So it's not about Motion Capture, but about rotoscoping.
