For the first AO of the Visual Effects unit you must understand and analyse the use of 3 different effects types. We've done MATTE and GREEN SCREENING - the last will be ROTOSCOPING.
Write on your blog a response to the following:
1) Find a definition and briefly explain what rotoscoping is.
2) Plot out a brief history of rotoscoping describing the key points in its development and use in film and TV.
Have a look at the articles here, here and here.
3) Find a use of it in a film and analyse why it was used, how it was used and critique the final piece (is it convincing etc). To help you with this, have a look at either Scanner Darkly or one of Ralph Bakshi's rotoscoped animations (Lord of the Rings 1978, Fire & Ice 1983).
MAKE SURE YOU PUSH YOURSELF IN TERMS OF A RESPONSE - DOES IT SOUND LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. EMBED VIDEOS AND IMAGES.
