Practicing rotoscoping. My goal is to become an animator one day, so this is good practice. :)

Got the reference video from here: [link]
(this was a good movie btw ;))
I felt that one move was very "waterbender-ish" like from Avatar the Last Airbender, so I decided to experiment with motion of water. I'm impressed with the over all effect.

Sorry for my lack of activity lately, I'm just so BUSY! Pre-Cal is no joke, man.

Even the wrinkles on her clothes stay the same as Jaden's in the clip.

Nice and smooth. It's great! How did you do the rotoscope? :confused:

oh haha I did this so long ago... basically download a video you want to rotoscope off of and copy the shapes/forms frame by frame.

I get that, but how do you trace the forms? Do you, like, screencap the video every other second or so?

you can, it's a bit of a lengthy process though. I think that's how I did this one. It works easier with gifs, because if you bring a gif into photoshop it already has every single frame on separate layers. So if you know how to turn a video into a gif, you're set.

Photoshop does that? What version are you using? In my photoshop if i open an animated GIF, it just tells me if I over-write it I will lose the animation.

hm, weird. I'm using CS5 right now.

Ah, that's probably why. Mine's CS3. That's probably a new setting that isn't in CS3.
