Rotoscoped skateboard clip using a multitude of animation techniques
In this project I wanted to explore some animation techniques. I used fabric, clay, charcoal, crayons, markers, and paint on glass. The skate clip was ideal for this since it is punctuated with different shots of various tricks. For each shot, I tried a new technique.
For the rotoscoping, I hand traced the individual frames, and for the fabric sequences, for example, I added the original video (broken up into frames) as a reference onion skin in Dragonframe.
The film is a collage both aesthetically and in terms of the editing technique.
The original video is Guy Mariano’s “Mouse”.
