Rotoscoping –
In this workshop I learnt how to do rotoscoping in photoshop; this was achieved through the use of an reference video, timeline and frames. It involved drawing over a video whilst in Photoshop.
I began by opening a new document at the size of 1280 x 720px, then selecting a video layer from the file I added a new blank layer which would be used to draw on top of the video. Once I had set up the video in photoshop I began to draw over the video; to do this I used the paint brush tool and drew over each frame. I made the paint brush thick enough to create a full person as I felt that a thin stick figure wouldn't do the video justice.
Overall, I found this technique interesting and I feel all the skills I have used to produce these animations will help me for any future design ideas. I think that at first it was kind of difficult as I didn't like to stop and start for each frame, after doing so for a while I stopped and watched the footage back. I was quite pleased with the overall look of how to create a rotoscope video in Photoshop.
