WIP, Nick and Will on a live background

Playing around with motion tracking.

Okay, I am going to point a strange circular animation conflict here that may or may not be obvious...

You have animated cutout characters based on photography of real people... that are... in a real world environment with motion tracking...

... uh... couldn't you just film in the location with real people? You could paint or glue "cut out" lines on the characters before filming.

This strange... whatever it is... is actually incredibly funny. The absurdity is hysterical. I would love to see that as part of any story line you might do with this type of animation. Other characters could comment on it.

We are working on it. It will probably be up on Friday.

It did look kind of weird. I was thinking of shop window dummies, life-size blow-up dolls (!), and some kind of CSI crime re-enaction. Should be some humour in there somewhere...

Where's Xzibit when you need him? "Yo dawg, I heard you like real people in your real environment..."

It looks good and they stay where they should even as the camera bounces.
