BSA227, rotoscope test for "With Her", 14 September, 2016

 Contact details for our "old man" actor.  We're going to skip shooting in the green screen room because we are no longer going to burden ourselves with making a room in Maya and syncing it into the camera with Nuke.  Are we Copping Out?  Let's just say we're going to concentrate on making the film better as opposed to more complex.  I'll have to learn Nuke another way...

We downloaded a clip of "Alex and Irina" dancing at their wedding and converted it in clipconverter.cc  From there we trimmed the clip to roughly 2 seconds.  And rotoscoping those 50 frames took an hour or two, so whoa, lots of work for us to do after editing the film together!  Good thing we've agreed to abandoned the 3D environment.  Once the rotoscoping and frame by frame clean up is done, making it look like a drawing is incredibly easy.  Vaughn did a few tests for us to look at before class and here's what we came up with:

After changing the colour to b/w, we tried a cartoon effect (the "outline" is the original rotoscoping mask)
and a posterize + cartoon effect


posterize effect

and find edges effect
Find edges is our favourite effect because it looks like pencil lines
