Rotoscoping

Posted by cgaub on 29th April 2009

Students (MS and HS) around the world collaborated to do this cool rotoscoping animation project.

This video content will be blocked at school… so you will need to check it out at home.

All these links were screened and found acceptable for middle school students, however since most of them go to outside blogs there might be other material on the blogs that is not acceptable. Please notify me if the link is broken or the content is no longer school appropriate.
