Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Director Choe Ik-hwan ('Whispering Corridors 4: 'Voice Letter'') brings 'Life is Cool', South Korea's first rotoscoped film. In this HD film project by CJ Entertainment, local production company DNA, which whipped up animation and graphics for 'The Animatrix', creates hip visuals for a friendly love story.Rotoscoping is a process in which animators trace over a live action sequence, frame by frame. It goes beyond computer-generated imagery for larger than life effects. By utilizing what's only possible in animation, it gives 3D action added dimension ? it's tech savvy and digital but breathes life into the film.'Life' took only a month of actual shooting but almost two years and 140 artists for rotoscoping. One may wonder, why go through the trouble, as leading lady Park Ye-jin said. The director said he was inspired by 'Waking Life', a rotoscoped film that captures human life despite being digital.
