Rotoscoping

This assignment gave me more respect for roto artists. To rotoscope for a week and a half and only output 51 frames seems like a waste of time, but now I know how to do it if needed. Early on I tried to mask out the entire character in one mask but soon realised that doing small shapes with as little control points as possible was the way to go. When the roto was done I had to camera track the scene to be able to replace the background. As to what to replace the background with I decided to make a green screen for the irony.
