Overview
Roto or Rotoscopy is a visual effects technique used in films and animations to isolate and extract elements from live-action footage.
In this six month program, students will be taught how to trace over each frame of footage using software such as Nuke and Silhouette FX to create a mask or matte of the object or character to be extracted. They will also be trained to manipulate or replace the background, add or remove objects, or composite multiple layers of footage together seamlessly.
Since Rotoscopy is a labor-intensive process, the mentors at iGene school of VFX technology train students using storytelling methods, group activities, and the importance of the Roto shots in the VFX production pipeline.
