#rotoscoping

(via 100 years of motion-capture technology)

...Rotoscoping was a primitive and time-consuming process, but it was a necessary starting point for the industry. In the rotoscope method, animators stood at a glass-topped desk and traced over a projected live-action film frame-by-frame, copying actors' or animals' actions directly onto a hand-drawn world. The technique produced fluid, lifelike movements that animators couldn't achieve on their own.

The first full-length American film to use rotoscoping was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which debuted in 1939, and Disney used the technique in subsequent films, including Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty and Peter Pan. Though actual mocap systems were still decades away, rotoscoping was precisely the proof of concept the field needed -- clearly, it paid off to mimic real people's actions as closely as possible in animated spaces...

(rotoscoping of Reigen's twirl in op3 of Mob Psycho 100)

Finally done!!!! It took me way too long and a lot of it is still pretty rough TTvTT

Here are the static twirls:

And now some process gifs for anyone interested (I exported lines, flats, and shadows separately, then added some effects in video editing):

So I've recently moved from the last dungeon to this lodge; my homunculus is enjoying the new room and loves to pace back and forth all day! Since it kept stealing my amulet, I decided to toss it into the cauldron last time I reformed it. The results were promising on the intelligence side! But, now it taken to causing mischief upon my neighbors. Also, please excuse the shakes. My recent delving into my Deadlokinomcon has left me rather rattled.

Another thanks to @pangur-and-grim, my friends love your cats.

I was looking through my old ToonSquid art drafts and I found this goofy failed Tintin rotoscope

So I’m only about 20 frames into this whole rotoscoping destiel kiss thing, and I already want to pull my eyeballs out of my head. On the plus side, here’s a really really rough still of one of the frames for you all.

Spin spin~ Rotoscope animation for Viktor, based in .. some GP series of last year I think... where Stéphane Lambiel was spinning. As this is so canon for YoI I felt the need to do this u.u [Yep, Kanliz, I see you].

The hair was a disaster to draw!!! It he were spinning the other way it could be so good-- But I don’t know if skaters tend to jump/spin to one side or both,so I didn’t flip the canvas.

I drew only 1/4 of the original spin [31 frames], but between *omg too much work* and *I got the spin to go endlessness.. I went to the safest road here.
