Rotoscoping

Scientists should study the psychological effects of rotoscoping. It's the closest thing there is to actual time travel. I barely sat down to work on this shot, which will figure into the ending of the next video, and INSTANTLY half an hour zipped by. Also, using this as a clue, guess what the subject of the next video is :P

Yep the psychological effect is the subjective time effect. I time travel 6 hours when editing video uninterpreted.

That's something I might just have to see in one of your videos. All this is still relatively new to me so I'm not sure what's within "reasonable" frame range ;) I just did a selection and refined the edges frame by frame for the entire clip I needed. Trying to refine it (refine brush) made it kind of a mess and considerably taxed my system (I didn't really have time to go through Lynda tutorials at the time). Can't wait to see those tutorials!

Raymond

Yes, I must include that in all the catching up on the Parton tutorial videos I owe. This Charlie thig is not a good example as its so wonky and wobbly due to the footage being very grainy and low-res. but in general what you want to do is break the subject up into reasonable parts and do each one as a separate pass. Set keys at reasonable frames, then set keys at regular intervals like every sec or 2, then finall go through and refine everything in-between.

Any chance you'll post a video of how you did the rotoscoping? I spent my last semester trying to learn it from scratch and I know I could've done a lot better.

Raymond

I was not aware of the Charlie Charlie challenge! I will have to investigate.

Timmo Warner

Yuppp. I'm always on top of the latest trends!... That have been over for a month. To be fair to myself, the video will be more of an overview of the whole phenomenon.

Captain Disillusion

Is it the "Charlie Charlie" video then?

Beatlejuice Beatlejuice... Beatlejuice?

Timmo Warner

I'm afraid no one's got it right. You guys are overthinking it :) Be more literal... think of the name, say it twice.

Captain Disillusion

Yeah, I'm guessing it's about all those time travellers in old photos.

Timmo Warner

Back before After Effects, I am sure the leading causes on insanity were rotoscoping and mercury poisoning

Bizzaro.

The only rumour I've heard that involves Chaplin's trouser area is an unlikely one for you to cover.

Steve

I couldn't take a guess as to what the next topic is, but I will say that rotoscoping is one of the more painful processes of animation.

Celery

I'd guess that the subject is the woman supposedly talking into a mobile phone that appears in the extras on the DVD of Charlie Chaplins "The Circus".
