Alex Broskow: Rotoscoping by Shea Hardacre

Alex Broskow: Rotoscoping by Shea Hardacre

5 second animation utilizing rotoscoping techniques. 12 fps drawn on a tablet and assembled with Adobe Photoshop.

Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films (Wikipedia).

    I really appreciate the post guys! I never thought Id receive any attention for this, but Im way stoked about it! This project was very rushed and now I wish I made it so much better. Be on the look out for more rollerblading animations throughout the next few years!

    Good stuff. Although Rotoscoping is a fancy word for “tracing”, the amount of work that goes into every second (12fps, meaning 12 drawings for just 1 second of animation) is a huge undertaking. It shows a lot of commitment to Animation, and the subject being rollerblading, shows your commitment to the sport.

    Great job Shea!! Keep it up.

    ps – the Tshirt mask you used for those tye-dye shirts Broskow wears is an awesome way to achieve that effect. Thumbs up dude.

    but…. This shit would be awesome as part of a solid/major video (for rollerblading that is…. like the new GC vid or an AJ flick).

    loved the short clip!

    I liked the fidelity of brosky’s movement (the last 180 after rolling away from the sould grind was exactly how he does it).

    goood stuff!

    YO JOE! Im a student at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago, Im so stoked to hear you dig this man! I hate to sound like a fan boy, but your one of my favorite cinematographers. Hit me up if you ever want animation work on an edit or something, Id love to collaborate or whatever. I ride and make fixed gear freestyle edits too, check it out! http://vimeo.com/user1373114/videos

    I ALSO WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT PROPS. The positivity in rollerblading is unlike anything in the world. I promise to make more of these when I have the time.
