This is made for "TECHNE - The Visual Workshop", a creative educational TV show. Every episode introduces one visual technique such as stop-motion, and my theme in this episode is to use a rotoscope. I developed the shooting system enabling to trace 'height map' with clay using a pair of Kinect and projector which works like human-powered 3d printing. We've reproduced each frame of the pre-visualization and shot pictures one by one for more than 500 frames.
