Product Safety Announcement from Radiolab

“In light of the aforementioned consumer feedback, we are now recommending that one avoid operating heavy machinery while under the influence of Radiolab. Also, watch out for traffic while walking and listening to Radiolab. (We’ve had a few reports of near misses there, too.) With greater public awareness about the dangers of listening to Radiolab, we hope to avoid issuing a product safety recall. Be safe out there, folks.”

It had been a been a while since I had done any rotoscoping. This is my first test to decided on a frame rate, decided how I want to color the characters and draw the backgrounds. The fox here is drawn at 15fps and the rest is tweened.
