Digital Media: Rotoscoping

In Digital Media class we will learn the basics of Rotoscoping this week using both digital and traditional tools.  We'll begin today by collaboratively stroboscoping Edweard Muybridge's serial photographs that led the way to the creation of film in the 1800's.

Each student in class will trace a different frame and we'll unite the frames into one larger animation. Above is the example from my classroom demonstration.  Below is a short explanation of what rotoscoping is and how the process developed.
