Koop's Skittles

[Wind]

 This message is mainly for koop if hes on but I really need some more detailed information on how Koop rotoscoped his amv : Skittles.
1) How did he make the colors expand and simply fade away? Like haruhi dancing and suddenly she has another pic of herself expanding in colors WITH full details of her face? HOW'D U DO THAT WITH PHOTOSHOP?!
Especially in the middle of his amv, that was flashy >.>

2) How did he mask a character and made it fit in with another part of the video. WITH the same character with his movements? IE:)

stickman is moving while background is also changing at the same time?
I can mask, just how did he put the masked animation in another vid?

3)Howd he make the background gray in some parts of the movie, but the characters not?

4) Howd he make the colored words         (Character 'singing' the rap and idk blue words and other colors pop up and tell you what they're saying)

5) Why'd you make a guy say OMFGIMGONNACUM near the end of the amv? (randomness?) lol

Hi

I think you pretty much answered how I did everything.. it was all rotoscoped.  I cut out the characters frame by frame using photoshop and then applied all kinds of color effects per frame.  I then placed them back into the timeline layered as such to give the whole effect of the colors and motion swirling about. 

4.  I just used colored text  |: ?
5.  Because it's good times.  |:

oh, one more question though, what color effect was it? I suck at photo shop, so how did you make the color effects take on the person's image with full details? Like face, etc. Did you mask the character out and then colored it fully? Cause I don't know how you did that
