This inspired me back in the 60's. Great Rotoscoping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films.[1] Originally, pre-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 This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years.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.
The film crew on the Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine employed rotoscoping in numerous instances, most notably the sequence for "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
As an 8th grader, sitting in the dark in the movie theater (very old timey i know) watching the Lucy In The Sky sequence I was stunned and exhilerated. I'm pretty much spending my life trying to emulate that sequence.
