What program is used to do this?

[Bongos121]

A client wants his video to look similar to this one below (as far as the animation over the video goes). Its something that I have been looking to try for a while now but I dont know where to start.. I use a Wacom tablet all the time for illustrations but dont know how to go about doing this. Can anybody point me in the right direction?



also if anyone has a company on facebook/twitter/tumblr let me know. Like/subscribe/follow and ill do the same back

I was under the impression that Photoshop could import/export video files these days?

Certainly Newtek's Aura can.

Be aware that drawing over every frame of video is a whole lot of work

Aura - wow - not heard that in a while

It became Mirage for a while (still have some lics of it) - and also TVPaint & I think they're still around.

I always like the simplicity of frames in the background and just doing a quick layer on top with a light-table for roto.

The video linked looks like it probably done on 3 or 4's - so that less animation... you could try a combination of hand drawn shapes converted to splines (animated like you'd do with an animated mask) then change every few keyframes to get the hand drawn 'jiggle' - plus a few frames of 'freehand' roto/animation on top.

It really depends what the client wants - as the video has a few different things in it - the wave/stripes could be done one way - and roto of his hat etc in another.

I'd look into animated splines.

to answer what program, a combination of after effect and photoshop can achieve this. But I'm sure that you're going to have to rotoscope.

After effects can do this with onboard tools (painting)
