So he takes a [b]DIGITAL[/b] picture of the bricks and moves them frame by frame. :)]]></content>

Yeah, I also think that's a really neat idea. I might have to try it next time I mask something.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Keshen8 only does rotoscoping. It's actually kinda obvious to tell the difference, the lighting is always a little different and the movement is a little smoother than the rest of the animation. It's a lot faster and easier than masking, but doesn't look quite as good or realistic in comparison with the rest of the animation.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I thought I might as well post in this thread:

Keshen8 and a lot of other animators have used flying bricks. If there is ever an explosion, LEGO bricks come out of the fire. I noticed this with Keshen8's videos. 
Do they just do it like how we would animate a guy flying (you erase the bricks), or do they do it some other way?

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks, Jargon. I thought of it because I use Stop Motion Pro's Rig Removal tool. It's a lot messier than using Photoshop (I don't have Photoshop). When I tried to remove one rig, it was really hard trying to erase just the rig and not what I want to float. When I used my Double Rigging method, it came out a whole lot smoother.]]></content>
