This week we reviewed ourr homework of the rotoscope of the man running. Having seen the others and recieving feedback, I realised how much more work and detail I really had to add to my roto. I planned to work on this when I got home.
Next, we looked at rotoscoping the bridge, we would have to finish this at home however we needed to learn how to use the tracker first. I began drawing round the bridge to make a template on how to use the tracker on the bridge. We then selected the tracker and went through the ways in which we could get the roto to move with the bridge’s movements on the camera. This will be a really beneficial tool to use. I linked my tracker to my roto and tested to see if it worked and it did after Gonzalo had come to check.
I then worked on understanding the nodes better so when I went home I’d know the exact steps to apply on the other side of the bridge when I was home.
Work from home
The first thing I did at home was work on improving the roto of the running man. I knew from other work that my standards and attention to detail needed to be better on this. I added more points, adjusted the rotos on each body part, and went through every frame perfecting the points.
I then worked on completeing the bridge roto, and tracking both sides to move with the frame.
Then, our other peice of homework was to roto the edge of the mountain for our balloon project scene. We had to roto the details on the edge og the mountain so balloons can pass behind it. I rotoscoped all the edge details, created a matte overlay, added a tracker to the roto so it moved with the camera and played this through. I had to edit some to most of the points as the tracker went on as it wasn’t 100% accurate, and didn’t scale up in size, but the tracker helped a lot with movement.
