There are only two things that can make any motion graphic artist flinch and that's rotoscoping and chroma keying. Why? Mainly because both processes are time consuming and arm numbing. However despite all these, rotoscoping and chroma keying still remains to be very important in the industry we move in. Which is why, lately, software companies are launching new products that aim to lesses the pain in rotoscoping.

The Rotoscoping Saga

Max Fleischer is unarguably one of the first few animators who have dazzled audiences of all ages starting 1914. Bringing “Betty the Boop” and “Popeye the Sailor” to the silver screen would guarantee him a chapter in the history books, however Max’s greatest achievements wasn’t set on what he put on the screen but on “how”.


The Book on Chroma Keying

Chroma Keying is an old visual effect trick for placing a subject into a completely new scene. Instead of spending large sums of money for highly wrought sets, producers can just opt for green or blue screens, thanks to chroma keying. Chroma keying transforms a video footage of a man pretentiously flying in tight harness to a superhero braving the sky to answer a damsel’s cry in distress.


How to Light your Chroma Key Backdrop

When lighting your chroma key green screen backdrop, make sure the lighting is even with no hot spots or shadows. Your backdrop lights should be located on either the side or on the back of the subject you are taking video or picture of.
