Studio Brief 1 - Process and Production - Rotoscoping


Rotoscoping is a technique where scenes are filmed, and then animation is composed over the top of it. Before modern technology evolved this technique, originally the moving film was projected onto a frosted glass sheet in order for the animator to work the cartoon around the scene.



This technique has been successful through the years, kick starting a new era of animation. However, it is a rare technique in the modern world, and is hard to come by in feature films. 

I feel that this process is a lot easier to experiment with from the creation of modern computer systems. I would like to think I would enjoy experimenting with this technique in a project if the opportunity presents itself.
