What is remote rotoscoping?

Remote rotoscoping is the process of digitally tracing over live-action footage frame by frame to create realistic motion for animation or special effects, performed by artists working from a location outside of a traditional studio. This work is often done for films, TV, or commercials to separate objects or people from the background or to add visual effects. Remote rotoscoping professionals use specialized software to deliver high-quality mattes and cutouts, collaborating online with production teams. This approach allows for flexible work arrangements and access to global talent.
