Like everything else in the world, rotoscopy has its own timeline of evolution.<\/p>\n
This was the age when motion pictures were a rage! The early animators started making films that were nothing but a series of moving drawings. That is how Animation was born. It was around this time in 1915, that rotoscopy animation was first heard about. Max Fleischer made a series of movies named Out of the Inkwell, the earliest example to the concept. He would make his brother perform the movements of Koko The Clown and film it. And then would the trace over it frame by frame to produce the realistic effect in the movie. This was the new standard for all animated movies making that Max a pioneer in animation set. And it was just the beginning. Many early cartoons where later produced using this technique. One of the most remembered is Betty Boop in the 1930\u2019s whose various movements including the hula hoop was captured using rotoscoping in film. Changes made to text<\/p>\n
Till time passed into the mid-20th century, it was still only used to bring more complex movements of humans or animals to the screen. However, in the 20th century, rotoscoping in film became more prominent as production houses started using it in numerous large scale productions. Walt Disney used the rotoscoping technique in the making of larger movies like the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Beatles used it make the video of the track the Yellow Submarine. And many animated movies followed suit. The reason rotoscopy animation wasn\u2019t used extensively is that it was very difficult to do. Every movement had to be traced over frame by frame and a steady hand was needed to accomplish this. Without a perfect trace, the image would come out wobbly. This is used today to a more stylish effect at times but it wasn\u2019t taken into consideration a lot back then.<\/p>\n
Then the modern times arrived and the computers began to take over. The rotoscope<\/a> animation\u00a0<\/strong>was becoming a thing of the past but the rotoscoping\u00a0technique stood its ground. The first two in the most notable of list were the movies Walking Life<\/i> and Scanner Darkly<\/i>. There have been many movies that have followed and used this technique to create captivating results. But what can you do different with rotoscopy animation?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The first of showings was with the Beatles and their track Yellow Submarine. It was a wave. They changed the very way people viewed music not only for their generation but also the generations to come. But that wasn\u2019t all. They also contributed what was among the very first music video made using rotoscopy animation. Here is a list on what has been tried since then!<\/p>\n It is a movie but it is one of a kind.
