The new film "A Scanner, Darkly" (based on yet another P.K. Dick short story) uses this technique. In the movie trade it's known as rotoscoping. It has also been used recently in a series of TV commercials for Charles Schwab. It was introduced to the movies in 1917 by Max Fleischer, probably better known for the Betty Boop, Popeye & Superman cartoons from his later career. Rotoscoping was used for Disney's "Snow White", the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine", and, of course, "Tron". Nowadays it's been replaced by motion capture & CGI. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
