Heard of a great site called wordle.net. It takes text & rss feeds and organizes it into an interesting typography display. Andrew Kramer mentions it in his latest tutorial on videocopilot.net. Here's what it did with my blog:

Rotoscope Test
I saw a trailer for "The Princess and the Frog", the latest project from Disney. Finally, a new hand drawn animated feature from Disney! After watching the animation features they had on the website (follow this link, go to the "video" tab, and watch the animation features. Very exciting!), it inspired me to try a little hand drawn animation myself. It's very primitive, but isn't that how they all start out?
Rotoscoping is an animation technique that many people use to capture life-like animation where you trace live action footage. Most Disney films do this. They record the actors, sometimes the actual actors who play the voices, acting out the scene in a studio. They then use that footage to trace the movement, angles, and to get the timing down. Sometimes they use the same footage or previously animated footage to rotoscope for multiple movies. Check this out --> example.
A new technique was developed by a guy named Bob Sabiston who created a program that allowed an animator to rotoscope every couple of frames and the computer would interpolate between the rest of them. (I actually got to meet him at A&M a couple of years ago) You have probably seen those Charles Schwabb commercials or the movie Scanner Darkly that used this technique.
Anyway, in light of the return of one of the most beautiful story telling techniques, I decided to try my hand at it to get away from what I've been doing to stir my creativity. My animation has a frame rate of 12 frames per second. Most animated feature films have a frame rate of 24 frames per second. That's a lot of frames! I started at frame zero today and finished 170 hand drawn frames later. Whew!
