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 This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years.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.
