Sailboat, the Giraffe Walks Past way

Sailboat from the archive, made the way Giraffe Walks Past was made. SAM 2.1 traced the sailboat in every frame. The rig is the chosen Quick, Draw! doodle itself (quickdraw:5193394433294336): its own lines, bent at a few joints, so every frame is the same drawing. 20 keys were placed by eye over the silhouettes; in-betweens follow the silhouette frame by frame. Scenery is real Quick, Draw! doodles on depth planes that slide with the measured camera; the silhouette is painted as a cel.

Review

Round 1 · bar_metNamed “a sailboat (triangular sail on a mast above a long hull)”; motion broken. The sail, doubled mast stroke, and open-ended hull outline match the doodle closely. In frames 2 to 4 the right (stern) end of the hull runs off the frame edge and is cut open, so the closed hull shape of the doodle is lost there.
Round 2 · bar_metNamed “a sailboat with one triangular sail, a mast and a long hull, on water with two small grey boats in the distance”; motion broken. The hull outline, the notched top edge, the hooked bow at right and the doubled mast strokes match the doodle; only the sail is slightly wider and the hull longer than in c.png.
