Techniques • A program called rotoshop uses the animation technique called interpolated rotoscope, which originally used cel animation where by tracing over film frame–by-frame. • Rotoscoping is a very artist intensive form of animation because it takes 500 hours to render 1 minute of footage into animation and computer-generated backgrounds and figures.
- 5. The purpose of their work • The purpose of the animation film was to make a animation film based on the book A scanner darkly written by Phillip. K. Dick. • The film tells the story of identity and deception in a near future dystopia constantly under intrusive high-technology police surveillance in the midst of a drug addiction epidemic.
