In this blog I will be explaining about rotoscoping, and include an example of where it is used.
So let’s start off with a simple question: What is rotoscoping??
Rotoscoping is a device that projects and enlarges individual frames of filmed live action to permit then to be used to create a cartoon animation and composite film sequences. (Google)
So in my own words you can use rotoscoping to make an animation or even a film. Before they make they animation they first bring in people and act it out and they record it, then they use rotoscoping to turn that recording in to an animation.
So where is it used??
Well rotoscoping are used for many different types of cartoon or movies do here are a few examples:
- Looney tunes,
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,
- Lord of the Rings (1978),
- Peter Pan,
- But rotoscoping is used a lot in the Disney studios.
An well presented answer and very pleasing to see you have even referenced your source (though google has no information, it only has links to websites that do).
I would love to know how rotoscoping was used in those old films, can you explain further? Pick Looney Tunes and tell me more
