Week 3: Pouring Animation

Craft : This rotoscoping video was created using Adobe Photoshop. I first recorded a video of liquid being poured from a bottle into a cup. I then brought the video into Photoshop. After the content was brought into Photoshop, it was important to organize the layers so the tracing of the video would have its own working layer. The three layers needed were Video, Background, and Drawing. Making sure I was in the drawing layer before i switched from frame to frame, I simply traced over key elements in the video's composition such as the cup, the bottle, and the liquid.
Concept: The point of this exercise was to create an animation using the rotoscoping technique to show a simplistic yet energetic action take place.
Composition: The composition was very simplistic due the the process of rotoscoping being very time consuming. I wanted to make sure that the video showcased the act of pour/spilling a liquid would be the subject of the animation.
