The Bishops PolygonnWatch at the source
The video is a hand drawn rotoscope animation composed of over 2,500 individual illustrations. Animator Nick Black spent over 6 months tracing each frame from the original live action footage onto paper in a technique called "rotoscoping" - with 12 drawings representing a second of footage. We then photographed these drawings and let them run in order to create the video you see here.
