1. 1. Intro: Hello, everyone. Welcome to this course. In this course, you will learn how to turn a direction, forage into an animation using a technique court rotoscoping. So first of all, what is real scoop? Well, it's not a new concept. It's been around for centuries now, and it's still being used widely. This technique was invented in 1915 and as you can see here, brutal scoping describes the process off manually altering the film. Courage, one cream at a time, and we're going to do just that by using for show. We're going to work on this footage throughout the course and turn it into an animation. Make sure to stick around to the end of the class for a bonus lecture with that said all to you in the next video.
2. 2. Requirements+ Class Project: now, to complete this course, you must have any version off for the show. You prefer a graphic tablet and a free extension for for a show called an Investment. If you don't have these, don't worry, you will find links in the about section off my class. From there, you can download these offers. I also recommend you to watch my previous course animating in for a show if you don't know the basics and tools. As for the class project, I want you to first force the course and then we're scope any off. The footage is provided in the resources staff below, or you can even use your own. Make sure to submit your projects so that the other students can see them with that, I'll see you in the next picture.
3. 3. Setting up the scene for Rotoscoping in Photoshop: So in this lecture, we're gonna look at how to set up our scene for rotoscoping in for a shop. So I have this footage over here. You can see we're gonna work on this footage you can simply you can simply drag and drop this footage to here. As you can see, we have a timeline here which shows this footage. And if you don't see this, you can go into video and select timeline. As you can see here at the bottom, you can see it's 23 frames for a second. It means you have to draw to the tee times to get one second off animation. You can do this if you want. A smoother animation is totally up to you. But we can change that by going onto here and said, Timeline frame route. You can see here different frame rates. You can choose anything you want. Let's see if we choose 10 frame routes per second that you can see here the footage. Now you have to draw 10 frames to get one sec enough animation, but in this course, we're going to set the frame rate to eight frames per second. So now I'd have to draw eight times to get one taken off animation. You can see here. They're starting off the footage so we can we can spit that extra foraged by taking on this season. I can and delete that. That's did you say so? Now we have set about seen for rotoscoping and all to you in the next century.
4. 4. Rotoscoping in Photoshop: So we have all seen Terrapin for show. Now we need a video. For that. You have to go to layers, drop down to video layers and click on new blank video. As you can see, we have a new video, but first we have to drag this layer above the video group so we can work on this. Drag it back here and now we can start rotoscoping. Select the color and select your brush. Now you just have to trace it like that. But you can't properly see this way, so you have to turn on the color overlay. And if you don't want to use this extension for color overlay, you can also do that by right clicking on the layer, going to blending moats and check the color overly and select your color. Now back to do it. A scoping Let's trees. This year, basically, rotoscoping is nothing but tracing every frame, so I'm doing just that. You can leave as many details as you want it up to you. Let's draw this first cream properly. Make sure to draw these action lines, so now if we turn off our background layer, you can see make sure to do this step. Time to time to correct some Mr You might have made in your line book like I'm doing here now on to the next frame. You see, the rotoscoping is the most mindless part of animating for me so you can listen to your favorite songs or music or podcasts anything you want, because trust me, it gets boring. Now we just have to trace every frame for the rest of this forage and also one important tip. Make sure you drawn the correct layer because it has happened to me before. I accidentally drew on the background layer, and then when I realized I had to draw, I have to draw those frames all over again. It's looking good. We have three frames here. So now let's throw the rest of the frames. I would stop talking now so you can see for yourself. - So we are on the one second mark now the frantic and animation. It's almost done. So now let's seat. I will turn off the background and turn off the color overlay. Let's drag the marker here. Let's see. You can see. I forgot to draw the arm in the spring. You see, that's why it's important to check your progress from times time. That's what I was talking about before. So now let's draw it here and it's looking good. No, let's move on to the rest of the frames. I would draw the rest of the frames. Now it's almost done. Now let's have the background here. See, for all sorts. Let's drag them. Welcome back here. Well, it turned out much better than I expected, and it looks very good. So that was the rotor scoping and for the shop. But it's not the end of the course because I have a bonus lecture for your so stick around and I'll see you in the next section.
5. 5. Bonus Lecture: So you now have your clean voters coped animation where you want to color it. And in this lecture you will learn how to color your animation. So, as you can see here, this is another rotoscoping animation I made before. This is the live action on since the scope one. And as you can see the first rain here, I colored this first brain. As you can see in the shirt, I used some texture brushes, which you can find easily on Google by searching for a show of texture brush. So now we're gonna do the same. Here. I will show you an example that's I will color one frame here, and this is quite right. Let's delete the background and to color your animation, you need another video there, So let's get it from here. New blank video and drag it blow your horoscope layer, and then you can feel like filler like so So as you can teach is looking pretty good. And now you have to repeat the same process, every frame, everything so that you can get a color animation. That's about it. For this course, guys, I hope you enjoyed it, and I would love to hear your feedback, so make sure you leave a review and also make sure to follow me on skills year for more courses like this. But I'll see you next time.
