Animations

Today in class we went over several older animations done in Rotoshop style of animation. Rotoshop animation was a style where the live filmed frame was painted over to create a stylized visual representative. we watched Snack and drink (1999) -The film follows an autistic boy to a local supermarket

Waking Life(2001) made using rotoscope style and 30 artists.

as well as Scanner Darkly(2006)

My take?.. I didn't really like any of them. Even if movies such as Scanner darkly had people like Robert Downey jr whom i love as a actor, I just couldn't dig it. It seems like an abstract artist's paradise but it isn't really for me
