Midterm - Before the Fish Titles

For my midterm, I decided to rotoscope the fish from a project I did last spring to use as opening credits. The film has a fun, playful feel to it, so I felt that the animated fish might be a fun opening effect. And let me tell you, rotoscoping may sound easy, and in practice it may be easy, but it is very tedious work. Being the perfectionist I occasionally tend to be, I decided to rotoscope every frame. With 30 fps and about 2-3 minutes of work for each frame, the time really begins to add up.

For the final, I hope to make the rotoscoped segment longer, as well as add some color. I am thinking of starting with the black and white rotoscope, fade into a colored version and then fade to the original footage. I also plan on rotoscoping the title text as well.
