Description RIGHT CLICK TO LOOP

A little swordplay animation... Rotoscoping is fun... Yep.

Right now, it's only in its most crude form - I was going to make it longer, but I thought this was an appropriate place to end it. I hope to make this into a proper animation of Jayli some day. Y'know, properly drawn with colour and a background... *sighs wistfully* Oh well...

~6 hours. 65 frames rotoscoped. Drawn in Adobe PhotoShop 7.0, tested in Microsoft GIF Animator, presented in Flash. 20.

Yeah, it's very artistic, which is what drew me to rotoscope it :3 I just haven't gotten around to actually doing anything with the rotoscoping...

so natural, so fluid, like a drawing of a real-swordsman's play instead of an animated drawing!!
great job!!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

jocarra In reply to Blackfire-Dragon [2008-07-12 08:17:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! The fluidity is almost entirely due to the rotoscoping technique.

Blackfire-Dragon In reply to jocarra [2008-07-12 14:27:13 +0000 UTC]

and what would that be

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

jocarra In reply to Blackfire-Dragon [2008-07-12 18:28:54 +0000 UTC]

It's basically tracing movement. Y'know motion capture, using computers? It's like the oldschool version of that, but without using computers.

jocarra In reply to SomecallmeDave [2008-05-05 05:45:25 +0000 UTC]

It's time consuming, but the way I think of it, it's LESS time consuming than doing it completely freehand X3

Rotoscoping is the key, then

faestudioarte In reply to jocarra [2008-01-30 05:40:05 +0000 UTC]

yeah!
So you just drew frames in Photoshop and then make the video?

I'm interested to know the technique, right now in college I'm taking an animation grade.

Ahh, neat *nods* I do a little bit of poi, which has similar motions in some places, but I've never learned any swordsmanship. This was rotoscoped from a martial arts video.

hehe .. kewl .. i dabbled a bit in fencing and all but then they kicked me ot saying i was mixxing oomany styles together and that i had my own style .. (probably because i beat the clubs best in a fencing match ...) ... anyway . no i just practice stuff with my bokken (<--wooden replica of a katana ... in case anyone was wondering.. .. ) ..
