Entry 19 - Thoughts on the second project

Rotoscoping Project


Project:
For this project, you will be creating a rotoscoped film clip. The clip can last from 30 seconds to one minute. You may film whatever you choose and you may use previously shot footage. Consider what you are saying with your film. Do you want it to loop or play as a single sequence?

Size and material requirements:
Render the file in .MOV format. Be sure that your quality is set to high. Sound is not a requirement for this project, but feel free to use it if you like. .

Objectives:
Practice rendering to jpg, editing jpg files, and returning them to AfterEffects as a sequence. Get used to frame by frame animation. Understand the basics of rotoscoping and how to use it effectively.


Storyboard Due: March 7
Project Due:   March 21

Even though it's been said that this is one of the hardest projects in the course, this seems like it's more up my alley than the other projects. For one thing, I already have a good understanding of what rotoscoping is from my general interst in animation.

Because of this, I have a basic grasp on how it's done and the work that goes into it, so I'm not expecting any real suprizes when it comes to doing this project.
