Great A'Tuin!
Damn... You leave no stones unturned. I wasn't expecting the turtle in space. Great work.

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
...or turtles in space. Nobody expects those either.
Kudos
I'm surprised how you were able to copy the style from 'waking life' and 'a scanner darkly' so well.
A job well done.
CapnBob responds:
I still haven't seen A Scanner Darkly yet. But those weren't the first rotoscoped films...
wow... just...... wow
This was amazing. I can't believe that you did 90% of it freehand. Amazing images, and incredible movement sequences.
And I need to know... I don't watch Lost so maybe I'm missing something... but what's with the numbers flashing for one frame each in the movie??? Please tell me!
CapnBob responds:
It's not 90% freehand, the majority of it is rotoscoping. The freehand bits are things like Eko and Michael cleaning the floor, Locke punching Eko, the turtle, the in-between frames on the guy spinning, Charlie's baby dance, Locke smashing the computer, the more stylized backgrounds, the boat, all the mouth animations, the arial view where the camera pans around the island to the weird-shaped rock in the ending sequence... but the really hyper-detailed faces were hand-traced. And some of the freehand stuff was then moved and tweened to match the original video, like with Sayid at the end. Then there's the rough angular blurry shots, those were autotraced. It's really a big miz of different techniques to try to get a certain look while minimizing the time it takes. I just kinda went overboard on the detail in the hand-traced shots.
I <heart> Monty Python references.
Great animation, Good song, and a Monty Python spoof makes it all that much better.
