Rotoscopia

Rotoscoping is a technique where each frame of live-action footage is traced in order to get a perfect animated action. The name comes from the tool that was used to do this, a kind of projector where single images could be drawn over by the animator. This experiment was done with this form of animation using a previous video. One second from the video that shows an interesting action, and convert this to 12 still images (12 fps). Using Photoshop to trace over each image as a line drawing and then put them together to create an animated gif.
