To complete this animation, I first took a video of my cat playing with a laser pointer. Since most of my work revolves around cats and their spiritual meaning, I figured it would be best to make this rotoscope a cat. I traced over each important frame of my cat's movements with blocked colours and added smear frames to make the movement smooth. Next, I added the face of the cat to give the rotoscope some direction. Lastly, I removed the background and left it transparent so that it could be added to any background I wanted later on.Â
