Ninja vs Samurai - Rotoscope

This is an animation which was created for a module during my time at the Leeds Metropolitan University. Rotoscoping is mostly known to be frame by frame stills traced over live footage in order to achieve a unique motion picture style. However when creating the animation above, I took a much longer route to achieve the desired look, I created my own animations in 3D and traced them frame by frame, and merged different clips together.
