If you work with Rotoscope in Silhouette, check out the scripts that I’ve developed for Boundary Visual Effects. They are free and will help improve your day by day rotoscope tasks.

This was a job that I have worked on recently. All the post-production was done by me, with the exception of the final color grading.
Post production included: Matchmoving, 3D modeling/texturing/rendering, Camera Projection Mapping, Compositing/Keying, Rotoscope and Clean plating.
Its was a very interesting project to work on, since the pipeline was using 2K-3K plates from RED camera. Reading r3d files directly on Nuke was great and rendering multichanel 32 bits EXR files from Maya really helped to integrate CG and live action.
Tools used: Nuke, Syntheyes, Maya, Silhouette Roto, Photoshop, Mocha. Execution Time: 10 days.

I have produced recently an Imagineer Mocha Pro training set for CmiVFX, covering all the software modules. It is the first Training available in two languages on the CmiVFX website, featuring English and Portuguese!
PS: I would like to thank the folks of Trilhas Urbanas Estudio that allowed me to use their facilities to record the training audios. You guys rock!
Mocha Pro For Production Volume 1
Introduction
Since this is the beginning of a video series, we will get started with planar tracking concepts. You’ll get a guided tour of the Mocha Pro user interface, utilizing a simple project setup. You’ll use the Tracker Module to track surfaces, discover strategies to improve tracking, track surfaces that leave the screen, learn about the types of splines layers shapes and how to review the tracking quality with the Viewer controls.
Rotoscope
Learn how to use the planar tracker to achieve faster results when doing Rotoscope. There will be an overview of the tools to create and manipulate Layer shapes, including edge feathering and smoothing. Learn how to evaluate rotoshape quality with the Viewer controls and when the rotoscope is finished, explore the options to export the results to other softwares.
Advanced Tracking
While working on a more challenging project, you will learn how to isolate unwanted elements from the tracking area using garbage mattes and Blend modes. Then watch a more in-depth explanation of the Adjust track module to further refine your tracking results when the Track module is not enough to solve the tracking. We then break down several methods of exporting and importing into other 3rd party applications, such as: Final Cut Pro, Nuke, Motion, and After Effects. (Autodesk Flame customers can review our Flame training video for GMask information)
Insert Module
Discover how to use the Insert module parameters to successfully place images on tracked surfaces. Learn how to render final composited inserts from Mocha Pro or to export the insert layer for other softwares. Lens Module Explore the Lens module to obtain better results on the other Mocha Pro modules when shots have lens distortion. (In photography, distortion is particularly associated with zoom lenses, particularly large-range zooms, but may also be found in prime lenses, and depends on focal distance)
Remove Module
With the two example projects presented, understand how to use the unique Remove module of Mocha Pro to eliminate unwanted elements from shots. Using the same scene background or additional clean plates, we discuss the removal parameters in depth, making it easy to remove unwanted objects in shots requiring enhancement.
Stabilize Module
In this section we show you how to take shaky footage and make it presentable for further post production. Learn how to recover the missing parts of the plate using the Border settings and how to further smooth Camera movements using the Stabilize parameters.

After some time without updates, i want to share 2 advertisements that I worked on recently at Boundary Visual Effects
Boundary team did rotoscope and some plate reconstruction of tennis players footage for 2 different post production companies.

This was a tricky keying job that i have done recently.
The sequence on video is: final result, original footage, rotoshapes.
Due to non-optimal lighting, the video noise made almost impossible to key with usual off the shelf keyers. Luckily the cloths were all black, so it was time for some single channel keying (green color channel, lowest noise) with additional roto on needed areas. Feet area and lower mic pedestal were not given much attention because they would be off frame.

I did roto work on 4 shots for this Amil advertisement.
For the first 2 shots, the roto was used to enhance the “artifact” with glow and color correction. On the last 2 shots, the roto was used to compose the man in scene with other elements like matte paintings and 3d CG.
All vfx work and final composites credits goes to Amazing Graphics.
