Custom roto

The custom roto techniques you learn are a very valuable skill to anyone interested in making computer-generated visual effects for film or animation. Custom roto, short for rotoscoping, is the painstaking process of tracing over an object in a video one individual frame at a time. This process creates a mask — an outline of the object rotomolding that allows it to be placed in a new background. This is very important for creating realistic and impressive effects as it gives artists a lot of control in terms of how the object looks and moves.

Enhancing visual effects with custom roto work

Custom roto work allows for the fine-tuning of visual effects from going a little too far into the frame or not quite going far enough and is conducted by tracing out shapes around the object in the video. This allows visual effects artists to isolate, or separate, the object from the background. By painstakingly tracing the outline of an object, artists can affect its appearance, its motions, its interactions with everything else going on in the scene. It is often used for cool effects in videos like explosions, magical creatures, superpowers, etc. and is an integral part of video editing which is done post filming. Without this technique, a lot of the incredible effects we now see in cinemas wouldn't exist either.
