Both patents and copyrights are different sides of the same coin; one to protect inventions and the other to protect artistic creations, so to speak, but that can all be summed up as intelectual property and we all know very well how Disney tends to treat its IP. Don't forget that copyright also used to expire after a while until Disney started to lobby against it and successfully managed to have legislation changed through bribery, effectively extending it until forever.

Yes! You have to note balance changes and ground contact. I'd like to add an example for people reading this: Things like a foot lightly stepping on the ground could be nearly missed in video reference looking at the frame by frame, but in animation you'd often want to exaggerate that contact. By anchoring the foot in place, or showing the shift in balance from heel to toe more obviously. It could take more frames than in the reference, but you compensate with a faster 'spring' from the ground in the rest of the step.

Cab Calloway is unbelievably influential. Even his dance moves now stand out in 2022 as uniquely his own. Fletcher absolutely picked the perfect dancer to rotoscope.

Rotoscoping is still heavily used for harder sequences that require intricate movement. Like ice-skating or dancing etc. It's a cool technique but is used rarely since principles have evolved in animation that now that can make the job of animating something almost close to realism possible through raw skills and intuition. Edit: However even though Rotoscoping is used, it is still hard to do. The movements when traced from an actor will never feel natural and have generally "wonkiness" in their motion, it is usually difficult to account for *every* subtle movements in the human body. So a ton of cleanup work and corrections have to be performed for it to look convincing and in a way still requires a lot of skills as an animator.

I wanted a reference on how to go from sitting on the ground to standing up. I found a video and rotoscoped it, sort of. The problem with rotoscoping, you risk entering the motion version of the uncanny valley. Since I'm using a 3D model I tend to have the video in the scene next to the actor instead of directly over. That way it is still manual animation driving the character.

amazing, those Cab Calloway animations are incredible

Rotoscoping is a valuable tool in any animators arsenal but it tends to put characters in the uncanny valley, meaning it has that creepy effect of being almost life-like but not quite. The real breakthrough came from the 12 principles developed by Disney animators in the 30’s and 40’s and described in detail by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas in their book, The Illusion of Life.

Very interesting stuff. Thanks for this, Vox!

Max Fleischer’s Rotoscope invention and his stereoptical 3D process were AMAZING for early animation!

That's not all that Max invented. He had a early form of Aerial Image compositing in 1924 where the animation was photographed frame by frame over projected live action. That was the Rotograph.

I love so much this cartoon where Koko becames the ghost and sings St James infirmary, it's just so well done and beautiful

cab calloway is such a legend.

If you haven't seen the Fleischer Superman films, you are doing yourself an incredible disservice. Also if you get the chance, check out KaptainKristian's video essay that goes over those films a ton, it's a great video from an underrated KZreadr.

It’s so amazing to see the change in technology so fast!

I loved that you showed how they did it. Very interesting!❤️

great video but i'm kinda bummed y'all didn't bring up one of the most iconic animators who used this technique; Ralph Bakshi

I always loved the Fleischer's style of animation. To me, it was the precursor to motion capture. Who would've thought this little studio in New York would be the innovator for Hollywood in the future. Disney wouldn't have pushed for more innovation it wasn't for Fleischer Studios.

Have always been amazed with how naturally the "prince" walked and run in the old DOS version of Prince of Persia. Tried to find a book on physics of human movement or some mathematical explanation. Your video beats any such book. Thanks!

That Betty Boop short has so many bizarre ideas that were so great they would later become tropes. Absolutely brilliant.

Internet artists: Noooo! You can’t just learn about movement and anatomy from other people! That’s pose theft! Delete your account or I’ll report you noooOOO! Golden age animators:

I'm an artist too and believe me, it annoys me a lot. I'll use rotoscoping as inspiration anyways.

Most definitely

that takes me back to the blues brothers where the same song was performed in a fashion every bit as iconic by calloway. the final echo so far of this animation nearly a century ago.

Man to think I pretty much had everything shown in this video on VHS. That superman villain from the robot one was unhinged. Gulliver's Travels was lit too, that one little goofy guy that finds him always gets me.

Producers for celluloid debut of "The Fantastic Four" initially thought Rex Reed's super-stretchiness could best be created with a technique combining Motion-capture with Rotoscoping, but eventually were forced to abandon this approach after failing to secure for their modeling process any real-life footage of human limb spaghettification.

0:26 that groovy music..

I loved the moves of that ghost and was wondering why it's so groooovy, that explains alot

I love rotoscoping in animation. When done right it’s beautiful.

the dancing walrus literally looks terrifying I wish I never saw that abomination

I found this page today I learned something today

I love that video! It's actually amazing to learn more about it.

This was so interesting, beautiful editing

The movie Waking Life is a great example of this.

I love the movement. It’s mesmerizing

This is so amazing, I never knew this!!!

1:16 where's the sample from? I know Mamamoo used it on Dab Dab

Okay, for outstanding animation. You HAVE talk about “The Thief and the Cobbler”.

Really well explained, and I love Rotoscope

Nice reminder that even the ol' good animations started stiff at some point but got better over time =3

The dancing ghost and the old-man of the mountain was very creepy for me

When Cab Calloway saw his dance animated, he rofl'ed.

Jo this is great production. That was interesting!

i find that kind of motion very nostalgic, and i’d really like it if modern 2d animations were to dabble in that rotoscoping style again.
