This very short rotoscope took a lot of my time. I was hoping to have at least 5 seconds of rotoscoped footage but that didn't happen. Just completing this took multiple hours so I didn't have anytime to spend writing more than a page. However, this has been a valuable learning experience. What I have learned is quite simple: use a green screen because rotoscoping sucks. It is a very time consuming and tedious process which, if done poorly, yields worse results than a green screen anyway. With the huge advancements in keying technology and higher resolution images green screen will only get better. I am very glad that I did this little experiment before I decided to make an entire sci-fi short film with multiple long rotoscoped shots.
