In this post you will see a couple of sequences involving live-action footage and 2D material. Back in 2010 I was working at Urbano Films and got my chance to work on more than 20 3-minute-long TV spots. All of them were done for the Ecuadorian government's department known as the "Secretary of Communication". They where entirely shot in a green-screen studio and meant to inform the Ecuadorian people about the new laws and projects developed by the government. My job was to illustrate backgrounds and some objects that where going to be handled by the live-action characters.
Here is the opening sequence for every spot, all in 2D. I based the walk cycles on a demonstration from the book Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair.
In this video you will see a basic integration between live-action and 2D illustrations. I did a few masking too.
Now the thing becomes a bit more complex. We were requested to do some lip-sync and bigger backgrounds. You will see there is camera movement a lot of masking and rotoscoping. A few pictures were provided so the backgrounds could become more "alive".
