the thing about me is i adore rotoscoped animation with all my heart

#last night i booted up hotel dusk and like #i havent played more than 2 minutes of it but i havent stopped thinking about the visuals since #i think it might be the most beautiful and visually striking ds game ive ever seen #of course thats an example of well done rotoscoping with stylization #stylization (like don bluth movies) helps remove a lot of the uncanny valley factor from a lot of rotoscoped animation #BUT . i also like bad crunchy rotoscoping #i love all rotoscoping jsfdkJKFLD #all those crunchy barely painted over rotoscoped movies from the 70s #LOVE that shit #also im gonna be honest. flowers of evil is a weird enough manga that i think the scary rotoscoping of the anime kinda works #but dear god i love rotoscoping i think everyone should do it forever all the time. TRACE over reference footage PLEASE im begging #its controversial because of some of the crunchier uses and some people foolishly think its lazy #its just a tool tho and it can be used well or poorly. and to be honest even when its done poorly i think its good #listen. anything to make animation easier or faster or aide in any way is good in my book #sorry rotoscoping rant over. i love it so much #anyway hotel dusks beautiful rotoscoping is making me want to try animation again LOL
