Might even be the most important. Its the OG matting technique.<br /><br /><p>The process involves drawing a image for a given frame and then continuing that images throughout the sequence of images. </p><br /><br /><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping">From Wikipedia</a><br /><br />The technique was invented by Max Fleischer, who used it in his series Out of the Inkwell starting around 1915, with his brother Dave Fleischer dressed in a clown outfit as the live-film reference for the character Koko the Clown. Max patented the method in 1917.<br /><br /></em>Here is an example:<br /><br /><OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="480"HEIGHT="288"<br />CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"><br /><PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="assets/my_movie.mov"><br /><PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="false"><br /><PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true"><br /><param name="KIOSKMODE" value="true"><br /><EMBED SRC="http://www.deinterlaced.com/deinterlaced2009/movies/assets/hills_matte_001.mov" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="288" AUTOPLAY="false" CONTROLLER="true" KIOSKMODE="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"><br /></EMBED><br /></OBJECT><br /><br /> <p>In this shot we needed to remove the cables. Because of the big camera move this proved pretty difficult. About half way thru the shot I stopped full body rotoscoping and continued the legs so you can see how this is done. </p><br /> <p>Mean while, the 3D department rebuilt the rock-wall and camera move. Maureen then painted the cables out when they crossed the body of the climber.</p><br /><br /><p>All of this took 2 weeks. </p><br /><br />Here is the finished shot:<br /><br /><OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="480"HEIGHT="288"<br />CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"><br /><PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="assets/my_movie.mov"><br /><PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="false"><br /><PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true"><br /><param name="KIOSKMODE" value="true"><br /><EMBED SRC="http://www.deinterlaced.com/deinterlaced2009/movies/assets/roto_dem_hillshaveeyes.mov" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="288" AUTOPLAY="false" CONTROLLER="true" KIOSKMODE="true" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"><br /></EMBED><br /></OBJECT><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8184078363936020621-3802658018016172431?l=dvisualeffectsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michaelbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980074941867696042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184078363936020621.post-88785126684888781492009-12-14T17:15:00.001-08:002009-12-15T08:02:34.922-08:00I have been Talked into starting a Blog/website about Digital Compositing. <br /><br />Thanks Matt<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8184078363936020621-8878512668488878149?l=dvisualeffectsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>michaelbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05980074941867696042noreply@blogger.com0
