I started designing a personal project recently. The basic idea is using roto and other compositing techniques to make footage look more visually interesting. The plan is to do all of this nuke so it will mostly be 2D art happening around what has been filmed. A lot of the inspiration for this project came from different dance videos that utilize roto work to emphasis movements, here are links to two different examples.

I also know I would have difficulties finding someone that would not only be willing to dance but also willing to choreograph so my plan is to film it like a modeling video similar to this pac sun ad.

In order to get some practice while I wait to film I did some tests on a mix of dancing and modeling videos. These were really quick tests but they helped me get a sense of what techniques I could use and different looks that were or weren’t working.
