Week 0 - Initial Tests *

Initial tests
Before the project started I had a rough idea of what i wanted to do. After emailing Mike to ask if it was okay to use rotoscoping in my final project I set to work on these tests to see if it was something that was practical  and to test my skills and what specif style of rotoscoping would be appropriator.

2 where done in 12 fps and one was done in 6 fps. The 12 fps is smoother which I think allows for more realistic movement. I tried adding a transitions/ effects of sots to the 3rd as this was something I want to explore further. This consisted off bubble going upwards as the dancer pirouetted and leapt.

After much research, I eventually sourced the footage for my tests from YouTube. This was just a test, so it is not going to be used in a final production. If something is used for educational purposes, it falls under 'fair use' regarding copyright issues.
