Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films.
Originally, recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background. Some of the
top rotoscoping software includes after effects and mocha.
An example of rotoscoping everyone might recognize include the scenes from Forrest Gump. Rotoscoping was used to integrate Forrest into footage of famous events.
Here is a tutorial from the adobe website that utilizes after effects and photoshop together.
I also found tutorials from
