I do know that in Snow White they did much more true rotoscope, especially in the scene where Snow White is dancing with the dwarfs<br /><br />@Magic Emperor - I love that video! That was freshman year of college for me<br /><br />@major - indeed, I had never seen anything like these before either. And they aren't on paper, but some sort of bizarre cel-like material, but frosted on one side.<br /><br />@Snow - I think so, wikipedia says so, so it must be true ;)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120087203277090970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18957223809118665.post-75593869864010184892011-05-27T11:33:22.153-04:002011-05-27T11:33:22.153-04:00Nice comparison shots Matt.

These Alice drawings are sure a long way from that.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18957223809118665.post-82616755188904882862011-05-26T12:03:35.869-04:002011-05-26T12:03:35.869-04:00There is no doubt that the top Disney animators of...There is no doubt that the top Disney animators of that day were incredible draftsmen; the use of reference doesn't negate that. <br /><br />However, on occasion some of the human characters in animated features do feel a bit "rotoscopey" in spite of the fact that they were not traced. It's hard to describe, but you can feel it when you watch it.<br /><br />The drawings are interesting, I've never seen anything like them!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18957223809118665.post-81614305788327442012011-05-24T19:33:44.167-04:002011-05-24T19:33:44.167-04:00♫Take on me...♫♫Take on me...♫Magic Emperorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087595784995123806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18957223809118665.post-28597634222282338902011-05-24T12:56:53.381-04:002011-05-24T12:56:53.381-04:00They seem to be very basic reference drawings. The...They seem to be very basic reference drawings. They're not very detailed at all, and Alice is quite stiff, standing straight in them. In the animation, the picture is focused on her more. The angles are also shifted slightly in the finished cells. Finally, the shapes in the animation are much more clearly defined. With Alice, her waist is smaller and her skirt is more umbrella-shaped, plus her apron is clearly drawn out and contrasted with her skirt.<br /><br />They clearly seemed to be a help, though. If you get the pose down, the rest of it should come easier.Astral Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639821580190094257noreply@blogger.com
