Some kind of filter program that you can use to make an animated shot for shot remake of your favourite film-- simonj, Mar 03 2009 A Scanner Darkly http://en.wikipedia...anner_Darkly_(film)to look like this?

[Jinbish, Mar 03 2009] "Some kind of filter program"? C'mon. How does it work?-- jutta, Mar 03 2009 much like Photoshop, but able to do lots of frames rather than a single image-- simonj, Mar 03 2009 [Spacecoyote] got there a split second before me. The term for tracing a filmed frame sequence is called 'rotoscoping'. To do it automagically you need to use edge-detection and stuff on each frame etc.-- Jinbish, Mar 03 2009 Real rotoscoping can't be done completely automatically--computers aren't very good at seeing the lines of things the way we do. But computers are good at interpolating aka tweening and that helps.-- Spacecoyote, Mar 03 2009 not quite spacecoyote... "Despite some appearances to the contrary, this software does not use filters, image-processing or any kind of motion capture technology. Rather, it is an advanced program for hand-tracing over frames of video"-- simonj, Mar 03 2009 That's what I alluded to in the last anno...it basically just does tweening.-- Spacecoyote, Mar 03 2009 random, halfbakery
