When choosing a style of rotoscope to use (including using flash, photoshop or illustrator) I should pick the one that I think I will be able to work most efficiently in. I like the way the thin lined rotoscopes look without too many shadows because the movement is there but in a more interesting way. Of course, the digital 3D approach looks just as cool, with how real life and digital animation is able to mesh together and look like one. However, A-ha!'s brilliant music video for Take On Me was created by combining real life and drawn rotoscope animation which is really incredible to see.
