I'm animated!

Today in class we covered a number of methods of rotoscoping. We started with Koko the Clown, the animated films in which the Fleischer Brothers pioneered the technique, and simulated the process, replacing the single frame film camera with a video projection. We shot frames along the way so that we would have immediate results. The test clip was me walking. We also covered a couple of computer assisted methods. Here is Kevin juggling, rotoscoped and collaged using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop via the "filmstrip" format.
