#animation process

It's a rotoscope animation of this kiss scene from the canadian movie "Matthias & Maxime" released in 2019! It was supposed to be a quick animation exercise but I kept adding details, and then colours, and welp 😂🙈Mission successfully failed!✨

Some WIPs and notes, if anyone is interested in learning how to do efficient rotoscope animation! Unlike other types of animation where the final focus is on the flow, stay focused on one element at the time.

I started with Illario's eye, and then carefully added one bit at the time, switching between all 54 frames of this animation! I only did the first frame "fully" to have a blueprint of what I wanted to do! Focusing on only one element maintains a cohesiveness that can be lost if you're tracing each frames entirely! Also yes, rotoscope IS tracing. And tracing isn't nearly as bad as people loves to make it seem online haha

It's a very common technique in animated movies, and I recommend you to check out the making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (made in 1937, back when Disney was doing good stuff lol)
