Further Research: Rotoscoping Examples


What they say: "Alameda's video for the track New Leaf has truly been a labor of love for us. We started the project nearly two years ago as a way to explore new animation techniques, specifically digital rotoscoping over 3D animation. The goal was to combine the hand-made feel of painting with the perfection of 3D camera movement and environments. We quickly learned how much time and focus is required to create a style like this."

What I think: After I completed my rotoscoping project I found that it was something I was very interested in, I therefore decided to research more into rotoscoping techniques and different ways it's utilised. This was my favourite rotoscoping video that I found on vimeo by Alameda. "New Leaf" is a story of a wolf family over the winter and the dads fight to find food for his family. This is all told in the fall of a "New leaf" which to me signifies the start of a new season for the wolf family. The whole composition has been put together nicely and the music and animation work well together to tell the story of the wolf and his fight to find the food. The use of drawn objects and 3D camera work is an amazing comparison which works very well together. I love this rotoscoping technique and is something I definitely would like to re-create in future projects. 


Obviously here i have done some further research into the rotoscoping area of animation after the workshop, it's something that I am interested in pursuing and something that I want to find more about.
