# hahaha superb
how do you do the rotoscoping? I've had a crack at it before, but found it to be hard to get a reliable frame round the object, ended up with a lot of edge artefacting... wiggly lines round the edge.

Tips please, Oracle of Rotoscope.

Not sure if you can make it out here:



You can't really, but I've been getting the wiggly lines round the edges even in relatively static scenes. I can't think of an anim I've done like that right now, but I remember it happening in far more static scenes than yours above.

# Well most of it is painstaking work but I've just upgraded by Adobe Suite to CS 5.5 (yes fully registered)
so I now have the handy Rotobrush tool to work with you just paint the area you want to roto in green press alt and paint red in the areas you don't want luckily it's pretty good at edge detection and in the tools section you can add smooth, feature, choke and such to the matte to get a really nice roto. But previous works I have done is mainly just painstakingly adjusting anchor nodes to a roto mask.

# ok, that makes sense
I'll have to either get some patience or a loan from Wonga.com.

Cheers.

# I'd wholeheartly recommend www.evasoft.co.uk
they sell official Adobe software at a greatly reduced price they managed to cut so much off the price because they are an international company so don't charge VAT and buy in bulk directly from Adobe
