Can rotoscope will ever be done right?
It can, but it requires the use of higher contrast colors and a consistent art form between characters and environment.

The original Full Metal Alchemist had some good rotoscope. So did the Cowboy Bebop movie intro.
>>143662851
Why couldn't they just do a normal adaptation of that shit? Why turn it into a dumb art project?
>>143662851
Of course, meet your rotoscopefu
>>143663071
pretentious adaptation for pretentious source material
>>143662851
Yes, but as with anything animation related, if you want it done well you will need money.
Although with Aku no Hana it seemed like the style was intended, even though it was still meh.
>>143663071
So that hipsters will love it (and they did).
>>143662851
Already has.

I remember watching this when I was drunk and tired, was it even good?
>>143663759
It was one of the better adaptations of a Philip K. Dick story.
Rotoscope works when it is used for a guide to draw original content. Not just a tracing of live action. 2D is not suppose to move exactly the same as 3D as things in the real world aren't limited to 23 FPS. And there's such a thing as over animating something.

Animu behind the curve yet again
Anime is fucked up.
ED song is nightmare fuel
>They even rotoscoped the background
>>143662851
3D are pig disgusting and japanese people are particularly ugly, rotoscoping their faces for anime is a mistake.
>>143664507
So was your Dad's decision to not wear a condom.

Wasn't Nakamura trying to drag Kasuga way from pretension? If you're pretentious, aren't you, too, a... shitworm?
>>143662851
Sakamichi no Apollon did rotoscoping perfectly
>>143664420
Best rotoscope 2 date my friendo.
>>143662851
You know you fucked up when the 2D is more disgusting than the 3D
>>143662851
Rotoscope to an extent isn't a bad thing, but with OP pic related you might as well be watching a live-action series.

Fucking casuals

Jin-Roh wasn't rotoscoped.

Find a non-ugly jap to do the job first.
>>143662851
Rotoscoping is best done for capturing movement and not detail.
>>143662851
Can OP will ever be grammar right?
>>143666499
First day here?
>>143662851
Pretty sure the Cowboy Bebop movie did a great job with it. If you trace your reference and leave out key details like what OP provided, then yeah, it's gonna fail because it looks bland, borderlining on creepy
>>143662851
>>143666775
>fire and ice
>considered a classic in western animation
Maybe for the 10 people who know it exists. And as for western animators, they're too busy obsessing over Miyazaki and Chuck Jones.
>>143662851
Never completely rely on it for full bodies or faces and everything else should be fine.
You can use rotoscoping to inform traditional animation and it turns out great and you can completely rotoscope something like hand movements and it looks fine but the uncanny shit starts when you rotoscope everything.
>>143667523
The movie Anastasia is a great tool for animators to learn the very best and the very worst aspects of rotoscoping. One scene will be absolutely flawless. Then the next, uncanney valley blows up your eyes.
>>143662851

I don't like rotoscope but sometimes its nice

>>143668206
That's not pure rotoscoping though. It used real footage as a guide, but didn't trace directly over a person drumming. OP image is literally a tracing of a live action shot. And it looks scary.
it can, but you need to add more details and SHADING!
Anyone ever watch that old LOTR animation? The first one with the rotoscoping and shit?
>>143663112
She's cute. Is she Hana?
>>143668803
It's bad
>>143665209
Is everything CG ?
Can your English will ever be done right?
>>143668803
All I remember is that really bad song the orcs sang while marching.
>>143662851
No you dumb shit. CG is the way of the future.Everything is already shit, might as well just fuck anime up all the way
>>143669976
No.

>>143663022
Fun fact: the intro of the cowboy bebop movie wasn't rotoscoped.
>>143670112
There is a lot of singing in the LotR books. You could probably reinterpret it as a musical.

Everyone I knew who was a fantasy junkie in the 80s knew Fire and Ice.
Of course, it's not a good movie and doesn't have good characters.
It's just a cool movie that nerds like us feasted on because there was so little decent fantasy to watch then.
>>143662851
Aku no hana wasn't meant to look pleasant
>>143663071
because it fits the aesthetic of the story.

The late 70s and into the 80s was the hayday of fantasy. What are you talking about? Not only live action stuff like Legend or Labyrinth but also animated movies. Hell, Disney almost went bankrupt trying to 'out fantasy' everyone with The Black Cauldron. And crazy shit like Wizards are about as known as Fire and Ice.
>>143671188
Legend came out in 85 and Labyrinth a year after that.
>>143671168
Sorry. My passion is in rotoscope, not english
>>143670868
So did the manga art style not fit the aesthetic of the story well enough to animate it that way? Was it lacking?
>>143671641
the anime and the manga are separate works which convey separate emotions
>>143671703
>It's supposed to be shit.
Every time.
>>143672042
Not every piece of art is supposed to convey a sense of comfort
>>143663213
>Yes, but as with anything animation related, if you want it done well you will need money.
Aku no hana episodes were as expensive as a good animated episode. They had no excuse other than being hipster faggots that nearly even canceled any DVD/BD releases due to poor reception
I still remember the PV's just showing great backgrounds, I really thought that the very first episode was the most elaborate troll ever done and nope it was the actual thing
>>143662851
Look up Ralph Bakshi. Watch Wizards and his Lord of the Rings adaptation. The rotoscoping is beautiful.
>>143667404
The movie, although nicely animated, is quite plain.
