I created a quick mask, with a low res image for the background. I then used the effect Vector Paint to create the lightning and the glow. The alpha channels were then nested into the original comp and effected with glow and color correction. Labels: After Effects demo rotoscoping lightning jedi. Classic Monsters in Vector Form.

Their first "breakout" character was Koko the Inkwell Clown, animated by filming and then rotoscoping Dave's antics. . As a visual effects artist, I am no stranger to rotoscoping, by erasing wires, or drawing directly on top of the digital film. My hat comes off to Max. He may not have had Disney's publicity, but his efforts in animation do not come unnoticed!

Sunday, May 3, 2009. It may be a surprise to some, but I have been a monster movie fan for over 30 years! I love to draw monsters, so here is another vector piece that I did for fun. It's based on the 1980 hit American Werewolf in London. I spent a Sunday afternoon allowing myself to be creative and relax (before finals begin this week). I had a lot of fun working on this.
