Rotoscope:

Voices, Joanna Priestly, 1985
Inspired by Norm McLaren
Film makes use of a variety of techniques one of which is rotoscoping
Joanna traced her own performance and then added dream like imagery
Shows multiple perspectives on her narrative (opinions about life)




Gulliver's Travels, Max Fleischer, 1939
Max Fleischer Developed the rotoscope technique
It was used in this animated movie for the movements of Gulliver



An Artist, Michelle Cournoyer, 1994
A beautiful example of Rotoscoping used to emphasis story. The technique allowed the artist to show deeper feelings than may have been implied by original film footage.

I really like the first video.. I like how the animation/ rotoscopingseems to morph according to what she is saying.
