| You can simply import the video to the stage, or you can get creative with it in Photoshop
through the process of Rotoscoping and add filters to the still video. Rotoscoping, although it sounds
important and complicated, it is not. It’s basically the traditional animator’s technique of tracing
live-motion film to create animation. (That does sound complicated. Anyways, Classic Disney animators
used this tracing technique to save them money and time) If you are interested in Rotoscoping, iMovie
Pro comes with that future, in which you can save films as series of images. But, if you don’t
have iMovie Pro, you can tediously trace in the Flash player. |
