rotoscope

My first rotospope project. 65 hours to draw and cut 129 frames. Made using a wacom drawing tablet in Photoshop, then edited in afterfx. Enjoy!

Thats an ill filter. What did you do this in?

[levitationtheory]

Thats not a filter. I hand drew every frame in photoshop, then put it together in aftereffects

[innerguardianXIII]

man maybe you should direct an entire film in this fasion i think its Stylish

[levitationtheory]

You would need an army of animaters

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.

@innerguardianXIII ..yeah I agree - that would be awesome. 65 hours - that is dedication!

@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.

@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 i know, no reason why This dude can't do it too.
