Hadn’t played my piano since my first video so this seemed like a fun way to get back into it. My music-savvy friend showed me some of the rotoscoped piano animation from the anime’s “Your Lie in April“ and “Kids on the Slope“ where every key is visibly hit, and I wanted to see if I could get that level of accuracy using a hand-drawn approach like those piano scenes from 1950’s Tom & Jerry.
Tried a few new things for this one:
- Switching camera angles with each character mostly sticking to one side of the screen for readability
- Drawings hands and characters in three-point perspective with foreshortening
- Using 3D software to screenshot/trace over objects (pianos) and establish perspective lines for free-handed characters/backgrounds
- Dynamic backgrounds and lighting to keep characters in focus
Music used: Cascades (Scott Joplin), played by me and some royalty-free snare drums
