Rotoscope combinations ( New video –
new image)
You may get your own
videos – youtube
Save as FLV only
Option 1
Place a rotoscoped scene from a video on top an image
In this option you only take a character from a video – not
the whole scene.
Then insert an image into a background layer. They must work
well together.
Option 2
Place a rotoscoped video on top of another movie.
This involves extracting the character from the first video
using rotoscoping then placing it over and synchronizing it with another
movie. It may be adding a person to talk
interact with another person in a separate movie.
Option 3
Place a rotoscoped video onto a rotoscoped image.
Be careful with your colours. The character you extract
should in in contrast to the image you Rotoscope.
