The technique of rotoshop is adopted from sketching, where artist traced first image and then copied it for next movement. It saves the time of sketching the second image. Another program ‘Matador’ was used for rotoscopy on hundred of feature film between 1990s to early 2000 including Jurassic park, forest gump and hulk. Matador was a paint application.

  • Roto++: Accelerating Professional Rotoscoping Using Shape Manifolds*
    Roto++: Accelerating Professional Rotoscoping using Shape Manifolds Wenbin Li 1 Fabio Viola 2;∗ Jonathan Starck 2 Gabriel J. Brostow 1 Neill D. F. Campbell 3 University College London 1 The Foundry 2 University of Bath 3 Intermediate Baseline Ours Frame or = Rotoscoping Keyframes 6 Clicks + 6 Drags 1 Select + 1 Drag Final Result Figure 1: An example of our new Roto++ tool working with a professional artist to increase productivity. The artist has already specified a number of keyframes but is not satisfied with one of the intermediate frames. Under standard baselines, correcting the erroneous curve requires moving the individual control points of the spline. Using our new shape model we are able to provide an Intelligent Drag Tool that can generate likely shapes given the other keyframes. In our new interaction, the user simply selects the incorrect points and drags them all towards the correct shape. Our shape model then correctly proposes the new control point locations, allowing the correction to be performed in a single operation. Abstract 1 Introduction Rotoscoping (cutting out different characters/objects/layers in raw Visual effects (VFX) in film, television, and even games are created video footage) is a ubiquitous task in modern post-production and through a process called compositing in the post-production industry. represents a significant investment in person-hours.

  • Silhouette Paint™ a Masterpiece for Film and TV Production
    Press / Analyst Contact: Perry Kivolowitz Silhouette FX, LLC 608-230-6262 [email protected] For Immediate Release Silhouette Paint™ A Masterpiece For Film And TV Production Leveraging the success of Silhouette Roto™, Silhouette Paint is an innovative high dynamic range 2D paint system. Combining non-destructive motion stabilized paint with very powerful cloning capabilities makes image restoration, dust busting, wire and rig removal, and just plain paint more efficient that ever. Los Angeles, CA (July 27th, 2005) - Silhouette FX, LLC is pleased to announce Silhouette Paint, an add-on to its acclaimed Silhouette Roto application. Designed from the ground up to handle the demands of motion picture and television visual effects, Silhouette Paint incorporates an innovative approach to high dynamic range 2D paint. Using powerful multi-layered match moving capabilities, Silhouette Paint can non- destructively apply color, tint, erase, blemish, mosaic, and grain brushes to 8-bit, 16-bit, and floating point clips. Silhouette Paint's clone brush features are especially powerful. To more exactly match a foreground element, paint sources (clean plates, for example) can be transformed on-the-fly by rotation, scaling, and corner pinning in addition to being offset in time or XY space. As an add-on to Silhouette Roto Version 2, Silhouette Paint is tightly integrated with Roto's shape features such as motion tracking, variable edge softness and realistic motion blur. Brushes can be automatically applied to shape layers which are themselves automatically match moved. Blemishes, for example, can be automatically erased over time with minimal set-up by attaching the blemish brush to a rotoshape tracking the blemish itself.
