ROTOSCOPE FOOTAGE

Using my reference footage, I could do my character animation over it. For my antagonist, who is human this was relatively simple but time consuming. I could translate the movements accurately and the end result had good timing. The robot animation was more challenging as it is much slimmer and does not have a human like body. Therefore I had to map out individual parts of the body individually by colour coding them. In the end the movement I got across was good but it took a very long time.

To incorporate backgrounds I couldn't just use TV Paint as I wanted to add in hand drawn elements in using After effects. Therefore I will use the Keylight feature on both programs to incorporate green screens behind the character. This will allow me to drop my character into any background.
