Rotoscoping

I feel like I am cheating when I use rotoscoping. However, this style is very realistic and may be something I want to work towards as a visual aesthetic for my final project. Although, I need to work on the character’s intent – what’s their motive or reasonings behind their movements? I enjoyed rotoscoping as it gives me the detail I want but I need to match that with the essence of a character.

Below is a video about rotoscoping and the origins of it. I found it quite interesting to see how reference videos were used.
