What is rotoscoping?
- I was 15 years old when I saw this video, "Take On Me" by a-ha. I remember it blew my mind. It was groundbreaking at the time and still holds to this day. It was done using a technique called rotoscoping. To achieve that, you need to trace over video footage frame by frame, or you can use a variety of digital tools to create art-like moving media. In this course, I'll show you how rotoscoping works using the building tools in Photoshop and After Effects, as well as a handful of third-party effect that can help you with the process and automate your results. We'll use rotoscoping to tell a story but also to isolate part of the video from the background for compositing and visual effects work. My name is Eran Stern.
