Rotoscoping

This week's homework is on Rotoscoping. I found this to be extremely tedious, but the end results were worth it. Personally I can't imagine spending everyday doing something like this, but, it wouldn't be bad to do on occasion.

I found this Awesome compilation video on YouTube and just had to share it with you. This is the Rotoscoping Reel 2013 for the company called RotoFactory. "RotoFactory is a visual effects company located in Northern California. RotoFactory has an extremely innovative and competent artistic team and the reputation of providing the best 2D digital paint and roto anywhere. With quick turnarounds, RotoFactory has always delivered shows on time."

Masking in After Effects

This week's homework was about masking in After Effects. We had done a little of this in class, but the homework went into it a little bit more. I found this interesting because it was a lot like masks in Photoshop. Of course, I needed to find out a little bit more. 

I found this tutorial on YouTube that actually shows how to morph between mask shapes. This could give you a really cool result in some instances.
