Rotoshop is the name for our proprietary rotoscoping software.  Despite some appearances to the contrary, this software does not use filters, image-processing or any kind of motion capture technology.  Rather, it is an advanced program for hand-tracing over frames of video.  The program will interpolate between brushstrokes to save time and smooth motion, but the process is user-driven and can be extremely time consuming.

At this time, Rotoshop is not available outside of the company, and currently there aren’t any plans to market it.  There isn’t even a manual for it -- training just happens on-the-job.  The software was developed in order for us to make animated films, and currently that is still the plan. 

“I’m sorry” to the people who would like to try it out, but we don’t have the manpower to manage a software business on top of an animation one.  And too much work has gone into it to just give it away for free.  Maybe someday, who knows.
