Bob Sabiston

Bob Sabiston (Flat Black Films) is credited for creating the rotoscoping program used in the films A Scanner Darkly and Waking life. The animation style has the effect of the photoshop "cutout" filter at times, but is all hand-drawn over video footage.

Some days, I most admire the people who make art tools. This studio includes a number of artists who, if I remember correctly, were for the most part not animators before working with Sabiston. I feel like, in a way, that creating artist software makes everything created with it into a collaboration.

Being really interested in rotoscoping, this work appeals to me more and more.

These guys make a lot of good stuff.
The Fourth Obstruction is really excellent - especially the silhouettes.
