I have begun rotoscoping the images where Rosie is going to become animated so that I can start animating it all together in Flash. This is to represent that the nasty comments from the virtual world have become too much and have take over her life. The difference between the virtual world and the real world have become blurred for Rosie. This is because the virtual world has effected her so deeply that it has consumed her reality.
I want the progress of her becoming animated to be in stages rather than like a switch has been flicked. These screenshots show how I have gone about animating her.
Each image has been edited three times with the next stage of the rotoscoping so that the animation is seen to grow upwards, consuming her into the virtual world.
Once an image has three stages of the rotoscoped growth I then move on to the next image in the sequence to continue this same pattern, this is so that the animation will appear to smoothly spread up the character but while she is walking too.
As you can see this is a very effective style and already the character stands out much more. The use of black and white helps to strengthen the massive difference in how she is portrayed. From this scene onwards she will be an animated character until the end when she manages to return back to normal once she has managed to stop the bullying.
