You’ve watched it. You’ve loved it. But you probably never realized Rotoscopy was behind some of the coolest scenes in your favorite movies and shows.

So, what is it?

Rotoscopy is a visual effects (VFX) technique where artists trace over video footage frame by frame to create masks or cutouts of characters or objects.

These cutouts are then used to:

• Replace backgrounds (green screen work)
• Add explosions or digital elements behind actors
• Isolate elements for compositing in VFX-heavy scenes
• Create stylized animation or visual enhancements

In simple words: Roto artists separate people or objects from footage so effects can be added behind or around them.

Where is Rotoscopy Used?

Rotoscopy is a core part of the VFX pipeline in almost every film and series you watch:

• Hollywood movies like Avengers, Avatar, Harry Potter, Fast & Furious
• Indian blockbusters like Baahubali, RRR, Pathaan, Jawan
• OTT series, ads, music videos, and even YouTube content

Without rotoscoping, VFX can’t begin. That’s why it’s one of the most in-demand skills in the post-production industry.
