Giraffe Walks Past

One archive shot redrawn as a multiplane cartoon. Six planes of doodles, real Quick, Draw! drawings and agent drawings in the same idiom, sit at different depths and move with the camera pan measured from the footage, so near planes slide faster than far ones. The walking giraffe is rotoscoped from nine keys drawn over SAM silhouettes, and its silhouette is painted as a cel so it hides what is behind it.

Review

Round 1 · partially metYoung giraffes drawn front-on read as pitchforks; adult had no head; heavy canopy where the footage has a bare thorn tree.
Round 2 · partially metHead, tail and bare tree fixed. Lines from the young giraffes showed between the adult's legs; repaired by painting the SAM silhouette as the adult's cel.
Round 3 · partially metOcclusion and depth met. Real Quick, Draw! giraffes used for the young pair read as llamas; redrawn with the adult's rig at 40% scale. Not yet re-reviewed.
