P2 Rotoscoping write up

I had at first done a rotoscoping gif that consisted of 17 frames that i had rotoscoped over a video of Casper dancing, but after i had finished i lost the file and couldn't recover it. So i decided to do a quick 12 frame one that i just sketched around the outline of him to show i understood the the proccess of creating  a rotoscope GIF.

First i needed to import the video into photoshop as frames. Using the timeline i could see each frame. Then selecting an individual frame and creating a new layer over the top of it. On this new layer i started to trace around the body. i did this for every frame i did. Then i removed the background layer so you could only see the outline of the body. Then i brought in a background picture from the internet and put it behind it. saving for web as a gif format.
This shows the timeline and layer windows that i used when making it.

I am not happy with this gif but i know understand the process behind how to create one and when i have more time i know i will be able to create one i am satisfied with
