RE: PRISMA - How Does It Work? Minimization of Perceptual Losses
Excellent Post Krishtopa!! I must admit, the calculus and the math are over my head, but I'm a big fan of A Scanner Darkly (and Richard Linklater - School of Rock, Dazed and Confused, the Before Trilogy and Boyhood - wow!)
Rotoscoping used to be hand based, but now is done by computers. This was the case in A Scanner Darkly. They used a certain software for it (I remember it being discussed in the Linkater documentary I saw on Netflix a few months ago)
However, can you imagine the same movie in the style of Monet or Picasso? Or changing the filter on-demand at various points in the movie? It's just simply incredible.
I had never heard of Prisma until today and i'm going to have to download it today!
Have a great day and thanks for your amazing second post!!

Hmm, It seems that different info provided in Ru an En versions of wikipedia. Ru version claims that each frame is processed manually but English page says they used interpolated rotoscoping, which involves the automatic drawing of intermediate frames. Obviously they might used third-party programs to avoid routine.
