Want to know just why this edit is taking so long? Well below is an example of one of the many rotoscoping shots i have had to do. If i want to replace the background in a scene then i manually have to cut out all the foreground objects frame by frame.
Now you can see that each section has dots, which have to be moved for each frame along the outline of the object .Most of the time each dot has to be moved individually to match the motion. When you consider that this shot is 11 second long @25fps then just one dot has to be moved accurately 275 times. now multiply that by the amount of dots in the composition and , well you do the math.
You also have to go back and review the whole footage, making small changes to position if one or many of the points are out of position and either allowing the original background to appear or that they may be chopping off a small portion of the object you want to keep. Now this shit as i have said was 11 seconds long. This took me just over 2 months to complete. And when you consider that in Luke's Bespin rescue scene alone there are 18 rotoscoping shots, well it all adds up
