“A Scanner Darkly” movie, way back to 2006. Have you seen this animated film? Very cool! Actually they made this movie in live action and with the help of rotoshop they made the movie like animated film. Rotoshop uses an animation technique called interpolated rotoscoping.
Plot Summary:

Star Wars Movie using Rotoscoping Effect
Have you seen Star Wars? Actually, I learned something about animating a film which is the rotoscoping. With the help of the new technology today you can possibly do animated films. There's a lot of software's that ubiquitous now a day. Like the Star Wars movie, they do rotoscoping in their lightsaber effects. Doing some rotoscoping is a bit interesting, but for me its hard to do it hehehehehe I tried once but I didn't make it, too bad.
Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, pre-recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background.
Here's a sample rotoscoping in Star Wars movie
I saw an artile that talks about the top 5 rotoscoping software and I want to share it with you. I hope this would be helpful to you.

Vantage Point
This movie was great! Two thumbs up for the writer and director of this movie. This movie was lead by Dennis Quaid as Thomas Barnes. Vantage Point means 8 Strangers, 8 Points of View and 1 Truth. Eight different characters that each of them hold a piece of the puzzle.
The attempted assassination of the American President is told and re-told from several different perspectives.
This movie is worth watching, I recommend you to watch this.

Mirrors 2008
I saw this movie last week. The movie is nice but I don't like the ending of it, its hanging maybe its because their planning to have a part 2 of the movie. This movie was lead by Kiefer Sutherland, role as Ben Carson.
Heres the synopsis:
A man is running away, escaping from something. He then runs into a locker room, where all of the lockers open to show his reflection. To his horror, the room's largest mirror begins to crack as he approaches it; he desperately apologizes to his reflection therein for running away in hopes of forgiveness, and begins fervently cleaning the mirrors. A piece of the mirror then falls off. Trying to redeem himself, he picks up the shard with the intention of putting it back on the mirror. However, his reflection slowly slashes his own throat, and the man dies, experiencing the effects of his throat being slashed despite not doing it himself.
Meanwhile, sometime later, Ben Carson (Kiefer Sutherland), a former undercover detective who was suspended after shooting another officer, is forced to take a night time security job at a department store that was gutted by a fire. The department store used to be a psychiatric hospital that experimented in treating schizophrenia. In 1952, a mass killing took place and the hospital was closed. It was later reopened as a luxury department store, the Mayflower. Carson comments on the pristine mirrors throughout the store, and the guard comments that the man Carson is replacing was obsessed with cleaning them.

Heath Ledger
"The Joker in the Dark Night"
While surfing to the net... I saw an article that talks about Heath Ledger and since Heath Ledger was performing well in his last movie which is the Dark Night, I read the article. I saw that movie 2 days ago and Heath Ledger was doing great in his career.
The article I saw talks about Oscar Nomination of the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. Heath Ledger is the supporting actor and role as “The Joker” in the said movie. There are people who wants Heath Ledger to be considered as nominee for the Best Actor but since Heath Ledger was just a supporting character of the movie. The main lead character has different role of the supporting character.
