Entry 20 - Rotoscoping Research

When I heard about the project originally, there was one name that came up from what I already knew:

"Ralph Baksi"


Ralph Baksi is an American Director and animator who, while no longer in the public eye, did a multitude of thing for the animation business as a whole. I won't discuss those here, but I will discuss the fact that a good portion of his animated works had a good amount of rotoscope in them.

I was able to find a short documentary on one of his later movies "Fire and Ice." It's actually a decent piece on how rotoscoping works as a whole, so even though the methods in the video are dated, they display how the process generally works.
