Shake It Off, Taylor Swift

Rotoscoped is the process animators use to trace cartoons from video or film. The original is nice, you can see why the students chose it. Nice clean lines all around. It is an exercise in symmetry against a cleared canvas. An aerobics and physical exercise video too, apparently, if you would take her advice and shake it off like this for four minutes here and there you are guaranteed to shed excess body fat and tighten right up all over. After this rotoscoped version I had to give up on the cleaner original version on YouTube after its fourth interactive slap-on advert just a bit over half way through, having seen what I went there for, their mad free-form dancing and their pigeon-signing and hand configurations really are interesting.
