ROTOSCOPED WIGGY!

Posted by TheBoogley Feb. 8, 2008 @ 6:46 PM EST

I've been rotoscoping! This is my dog, Turtle...
I filmed her at 30fps with my digital camera, imported
the .mov video into flash, then traced each frame.
I find this is a great way to learn how she moves.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with all the
footage once it's traced, but I'm learning heaps!
WIGGY-DA-WOOOOooooo!!

Cool man. It's like it's actually moving!

No really, retroscoping is wicked. Haven't seen it be done for a while now.

Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:47 PM TheBoogley responds:

Glad you enjoyed it!


Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:12 PM Tystarr says:

lol, i like that. Your dog looks so happ-EEE

Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:49 PM TheBoogley responds:

Yeah, the spinning jump thing she does is great!


Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:27 PM abculatter-2 says:

very nice!

I can't think of anything else to say... so... BLUE BIBITY-BOP!

Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:49 PM TheBoogley responds:

Chacka-CHA-CHA!!


Feb. 8, 2008 | 7:58 PM Rammer says:

you should rotoscope it taking a shit. you know, for education.

Feb. 8, 2008 | 8:23 PM TheBoogley responds:

I would but she's kind of like a cat, not a fan of being watched "doing business".


Feb. 8, 2008 | 8:17 PM Goat-Man says:

Rotoscoping is amazing for learning the natural movements of things. I've tried it before to get the feeling for stuff.

Yours looks phenominal. I've never tried with basic colors. It seems to actually make it better.
But just to see, could you pick out a color for your dog, and maybe 1 more for the color. I'd like to see how this looks colored.

Feb. 8, 2008 | 8:24 PM TheBoogley responds:

Okey-dokey goaty!


Feb. 8, 2008 | 9:32 PM Goat-Man says:

Cool! Blue dog!
But whats with all the squares and stuff that pop up all over him? That just because of lowered quality so it would fit on newgrounds?

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:45 AM TheBoogley responds:

Yep... they appeared after you made me colour her in. It's your fault!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 4:36 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard says:

if that dog were any more blue it would be sasparilla

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:50 AM TheBoogley responds:

You truly are the Zekiest of all the space lizards! Mixing up a dog with a beverage... imagine that! glug glug glu-* splutter * grrwauf!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 6:31 AM NintendoMadness says:

A colourful Mexican hat would look awesome.

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:50 AM TheBoogley responds:

true, you really should buy one!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 7:25 AM ConcorX says:

That is awesome! I will have to try to do something like that sometime~

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:50 AM TheBoogley responds:

try anything once.


Feb. 9, 2008 | 8:44 AM New999 says:

Really cool. can you make another one with the dog doing alot of stuff and put it in a animation where it will be funny cause the dog will be doing accident? that will be great. oh and please when what i said happens can you put it in NewGrounds so everyone can see it and laugh? you might get 10/10 5/5!

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:53 AM TheBoogley responds:

sure enough... I'm confused by you again... I'll do something, cross my fingers, and hope for the best that it's what you're asking for.


Feb. 9, 2008 | 11:07 AM Skask says:

Sometimes i see its vector points.

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:52 AM TheBoogley responds:

dont be rude... dogs dont wear pants, but that doesn't mean it's open slather on looking at their privates!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 12:13 PM Gatling says:

Nice! Sounds like a patient job to do. It looks awesoem I have 3 dogs myself ^^ What breeed is your Wiggy? It looks like a Smileydor.

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:55 AM TheBoogley responds:

She's a Jack Russell, completely insane. We have another dog, Gary, who is bigger and more mellow. He just kind of hangs around and puts up with her, then every now and then goes on a rampage of insanity!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 2:31 PM ConcorX says:

so cute!

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:55 AM TheBoogley responds:

Awww!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 3:09 PM JoxskornerStudios01 says:

what breed is your dog?

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:56 AM TheBoogley responds:

You want to breed with my dog?


Feb. 9, 2008 | 8:29 PM MorrowDays says:

you should make it jump some massive gap :)

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:56 AM TheBoogley responds:

What, and film it, then trace it? I'm not sure about this...


Feb. 9, 2008 | 10:24 PM Killerkb says:

Your dogs laugh is seriously scaring me.
Likes she's all happy now, but when you sleep, she'll sneak into your room, and kill you.

Nice job on the rotoscoping though. Keep it up.

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:57 AM TheBoogley responds:

Yeah. That's pretty much what she's like, just be happy you don't sleep in the same house as her!


Feb. 9, 2008 | 10:40 PM PolishMatt says:

That's really cool and I did the exact same thing with people walking and doing stuff, turns our strangely awesome everytime and it's something you could really use in a Flash animation and get people amazed.

Feb. 10, 2008 | 6:58 AM TheBoogley responds:

yeah, the hard part is getting interesting footage to work from, and knowing how to make each movement work in animation helps.


Feb. 10, 2008 | 9:09 PM Squirleyzero says:

Woof
(Super cool)

Feb. 11, 2008 | 4:41 AM TheBoogley responds:

"Only after we've lost Everything are we free to do Anything"
I LIKE IT! But I don't want to lose stuff...


Feb. 11, 2008 | 3:56 PM blindsniper says:

Wow, this is wicked sick

Feb. 11, 2008 | 4:25 PM TheBoogley responds:

Did you vomit? :P

Feb. 11, 2008 | 7:47 PM TheBoogley responds:

"tenderness at it's peak" I like that. You should make valentines day cards! :D


Feb. 12, 2008 | 7:43 AM DrSalvadork says:

Woo her tail is moving so fast! I could watch that all day... How long did it take to trace?
Also I really like your personal picture or what's it called. The looping face one.
Good luck with future submissions!

Feb. 13, 2008 | 5:23 AM TheBoogley responds:

That's the boogley! He's crazy... who knows what he's going to do!


Feb. 13, 2008 | 2:18 AM xTOXICxEMPIRE says:

Hehehe, cute dog you dog there. Very excited. And blue. She looks very... pattable.

Feb. 13, 2008 | 5:27 AM TheBoogley responds:

Thanks, I like your drawing style, and the animations in your make your own character game thingy are well done.


Feb. 13, 2008 | 8:44 AM helang7 says:

How do you rotoscope???
c'mon, teach me :(
You know lots of stuff :O
c'mon, teach me some of your skills :D

Feb. 13, 2008 | 5:08 PM TheBoogley responds:

Shoot something in any computer video format, this was in .mov (quicktime format), then in flash go to File/Import/Import to stage. Select your video file, then follow the steps and eventually you will have the video appear in a flash movie. There are lots of little steps to follow, but I can't go through them all here... The main thing you need to choose is to "add frames to the stage".Look up a tutorial if you have trouble. Once you've got the movie on the stage in the timeline create a new layer above it, and trace away!


Feb. 13, 2008 | 1:58 PM Assios says:

Woobyhoobyhey! look at that tail! :D Jumping around like a ..uhm.. whale.

Feb. 13, 2008 | 5:09 PM TheBoogley responds:

And diggidy diggidy dose! look at that nose! Spinning all around, like, some kind of... hose?


Feb. 15, 2008 | 1:56 AM jesmarlesmar says:

oh my god that is amazing!! wait, what are thouse crazy little squares that appear suddenly around the lines?....ahhhh i get... your dog has flies!!! get rid of them with some entomology product or a fly killing collar... that's what i did with my mine... is not cool to pet a poor parasite filled doggy :(

... so when is your next project coming up? i really would like to see more animations from The Boogley... and with that rotoscoping... you will become UNSTOPPABLE!!

Feb. 16, 2008 | 4:36 PM TheBoogley responds:

It's not cool to have a parasite filled dog? Maybe not in Chile, but here in Australia I'm taking her to fashion shows and she's even licked the mayors face!

You have a dog? Cute... :3
Well, it's a nice way of learning movements and stuff like that, keep it on! :D

>T

Feb. 16, 2008 | 4:38 PM TheBoogley responds:

Cheers Tommy! BD


Feb. 16, 2008 | 3:53 PM RatedB says:

At times it looksa bit 3D, anyway awesome animation and damn does that tail move fast.

Feb. 16, 2008 | 4:39 PM TheBoogley responds:

Crazy dog tail! It was a blur in the footage I was working off so I just used the old whip action animation technique and it looks about right! She's a machine, this dog!


Feb. 18, 2008 | 1:22 PM ZombieswithJetpacks says:

I did one but it was with trees and a people and stuff it's kinda dumb...

Feb. 18, 2008 | 4:31 PM TheBoogley responds:

not really...


Feb. 22, 2008 | 7:57 AM Noxx11 says:

That's a really cool way to do it, and this is an awesome clip!


Feb. 22, 2008 | 7:59 AM Noxx11 says:

Oh! I forgot to ask you, I've been trying to figure this out for a while now and it's driving me nuts: How do you import videos into flash??????

Feb. 22, 2008 | 4:57 PM TheBoogley responds:

Go to; File/import/import video, then follow the prompts. Go to the help files if they don't make sense, or search www.flashkit.com to find a tutorial to help you.


Feb. 22, 2008 | 6:50 PM Noxx11 says:

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm doing that immediately!

Feb. 26, 2008 | 1:52 AM TheBoogley responds:

I hope it works! :D


Feb. 28, 2008 | 6:24 AM Noxx11 says:

Just released the second Animated Summary! :D

Mar. 8, 2008 | 4:30 AM TheBoogley responds:

That's good work!


Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:40 AM Rutger says:

Rofl cool :P I also have the problem with the little squares, it seems like it shows the pattern of the line tool sometimes... Really annoying. It looks nice tho! *Whispers something about a fbf doggy collab? :P*

Mar. 8, 2008 | 4:32 AM TheBoogley responds:

Damned little squares, they just showed up one day and refuse to leave.


Mar. 14, 2008 | 12:36 PM baddbob says:

my dog rita, likes turtle.
keep playing aropund with this.do it with people,
youll see alot about motion,and how to
exaggerate that movement..

Mar. 15, 2008 | 2:44 AM TheBoogley responds:

cheers baddbob, I am learning heaps from it. Throw a stick for Rita from me!


Apr. 19, 2008 | 11:45 PM KillerEmcee says:

First you entertain me with your flash, then you leave a joke in my profile at my expense. If you make me smile anymore I'd have to start paying you.

Apr. 20, 2008 | 1:56 AM TheBoogley responds:

No your starting to sing my kind of tune. A little johnny CASH!


Apr. 23, 2008 | 8:55 PM ViRuZX says:

Looks awesome!.. But I guess it gets pretty hard if you're trying to trace a complex scene as an animation.. And that dog on my page is from Full Metal Alchemist (an anime). During a comedy scene, he (pretty sure it's a he) was misbehaving, so his owner - a good marksman - shot at the wall surrounding him to get him to "surrender" :P

Apr. 24, 2008 | 2:25 AM TheBoogley responds:

Oh, I'll have to remember that... Shoot at the dog to settle her down. Gotcha! :D


Apr. 27, 2008 | 5:18 PM jesmarlesmar says:

My sister saw the compliation you made, she saw it like 2473378 times!! She really loved your animations.. and she is very crtitic and knows a lot about color, desing, etc.. She wanted me to tell you that :D

Apr. 30, 2008 | 2:13 AM TheBoogley responds:

Excellent! What sort of artwork does she do?


May. 2, 2008 | 3:21 PM jesmarlesmar says:

She is a desinger in clothing, and textiles. I remember she worked with some animators when she did a desing for a therapeutic room for children/babys with sleeping problems... So, how was Illustrators Australia's animation night? must have been supah cool showing your animation in a big screen? :D

May. 11, 2008 | 12:05 AM TheBoogley responds:

Babies with sleeping problems? I hope she was working with the right animators, that could end up pretty scary! What if they used your stuff from the face collab? The babies would never sleep again! :O
It was great, only about 30 people but yeah, seeing it on a big screen and getting the peoples reactions was great!


May. 10, 2008 | 9:46 PM Noxx11 says:

I saw this in your latest movie! That was some great animation.

May. 11, 2008 | 12:07 AM TheBoogley responds:

Thanks Noxx11, you're doing some great stuff in those collabs! Love the animation challenge!


May. 10, 2008 | 10:51 PM Tyrant12 says:

My dog is stupid so I kicked it.

May. 11, 2008 | 12:09 AM TheBoogley responds:

You catch more bees with honey, you catch more flies with shit...


May. 11, 2008 | 12:42 PM Gatling says:

cough * FACE COLLAB 2 * cough

May. 11, 2008 | 5:54 PM TheBoogley responds:

That's a nasty sequel cough you've got there Gatling, you should see a doctor. ;)
I'm going to put together a quick one in June/July, but I don't think it'll be a face one. I'm thinking of something along the lines of food. The "I'm hungry Collab!" :O

excellent! I'm animating a banana peeling itself! ;D

Hell yeah! Count me in. If I find the time I'll start animating some crazy food.
