I have, no lie, been doing this for the past few weeks. He's right - it's much easier to do it by hand than is to fiddle with a trackpad, or even a Wacom tablet.

He's not rotoscoping Soul Train dancers though, which is SUPER FUN.

I'm not at my computer now, so I don't have access to all the gifs and have only uploaded a couple of videos to the dreaded Bookface. If this link works, you should be able to see a highly processed version of Mr. Boogie Shades.

That reminds me, I really need to grab that series box set of Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.

I'm aways in awe of this sort of stuff; I've been trying to get wiggle stereo to work and that's only two images. I can't imagine working with a couple dozen images that have to loop back.

Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.

It just occurred to me Dr Katz's son was voiced by the same guy as Archer.
