To clarify, I don’t have a budget for any hand/artist frame-by-frame work.  I am hoping to find an affordable solution that involves tweaking post-processing tools to produce a satisfactory result.

The company that did the original Schwab spots is called Mekanism and used mocha (formerly called motor) quite a lot to assist with the job:

Using tracking planar tracking to do this type of look will save quite a lot of time vs a fully manual process.

Good luck,
Ross

This is my first post on this list.  If posting contract work is not appropriate, please ignore or delete this post and my apologies in advance.

 

My company does online eLearning courses and one component of this year’s course is ten 15-second video shorts of people talking from personal experience.  I’d like to get these videos rotoscoped similar to the Charles Schwab commercials which can be found on YouTube.  I understand that Charles Schwab was done by hand, not be computer, and I am not expecting to get that quality level.

 

I’ve spent some time with post-processing tools myself but was unable to achieve a result which would be satisfactory, but this is not my field of expertise.  The post processing effect I am after must be good enough to put in front of employees in an online training video.

 

I am looking for a contractor willing to audition for the job of rotoscoping these videos to a satisfactory quality.  For the audition, I will provide a single 15-second video.  I ask that part of the video be rotoscoped and returned so the quality can be evaluated before contracting the job.

 

If you interested or have questions, please contact me off-list.   I will provide my company contact information at that time.

 

Thank you,

 

Sam
