# cheers :D yeah, I was impressed with the stabilised Zapruder 8mm film of the Kennedy assassination.
The background of the one above made it very difficult to align the frames.
I've done better ones -- can't find them of course since b3ta hosting used to rename the files upon upload.

# So do you use Reverse Stabilisation for Rotoscoping?
I.E. stabilise the footage in one comp to make it easier to rotoscope and then reverse the stabilsation process in the parent comp.

# I've actually tried that a couple of times, and was pleased with the results.
It can be pretty challenging to realign when the background was very stable to begin with.
EDIT: to make it easier, I'll often increase the composition about 400%, align, and then re-size it back

I've also done similar things on a still image where the entire image was distorted momentarily in order to correct perspective distortion in a key element (brick wall for example). Once the modifications were complete, the the full distortion was re-corrected.

# Sounds like you've done a lot of this stuff

# A bit, but mostly experimental. I am more into the technical aspect than the creative aspect.
I guess another way to put it is that I get bored easily, and like to play with new ideas. Rarely do I create something amazing, but am just as pleased hearing someone say, "how did you do that?"

# A man after my own art ;)
yeah always looking for something new that gets the wow factor - which is why I did the road scrolls still needs further experiments though.
