Rotoscoping

"Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background. " Wikipedia's information.

Rotoscoping is used in the music video that I have chosen to repoduce and many others, e.g. Queens of the stone age - Go with The Flow and A-ha - Take On Me.


It is also used in many other media fields, Film, games and TV.
Its is also used in Borderlands, which is a game.
