Darth Roto

Since writing of the new hope, there's been very little progress made. The only upside is that Hasbro have moved their deadline to the end of this month...though I'm not even sure we'll make that either.
Steve's been having a crack at the script, and from what I can tell enjoyed writing so far, but the second draft has proved troublesome, and he's been pulled away on other projects, such as Life.
As for my part, yes, I could actually muster up a script, but it'll be in pretty bad taste knowing me. Someone will die, there'll be fights and maybe a sheep or two.
I have, however, in about 20 minutes, erhem - sorry - that was my ego, put together a short video (not story, just random puppeteering) with Shake and I've skipped the whole rotoscope process, and instead did some magic with a mask, colour, blurs and nodes.
I've tried to add a little character, notably angry, frustrated and suspicious, maybe you'll spot the emotions when you watch the clip.
Check out my Darth Vader rotoscope without rotoscope video! (Note - it's currently not linked to a project, so the video is just a straight download - probably easier all round...)
