How I Animated This Video

A good example are Joel Haver's videos on youtube. He explains his process here: [VIDEO] . He produces animations by rotoscoping live footage, with only a few keyframes being done by hand and the rest by AI, using something similar to style transfer.

We've got AI assisted rotoscoping already and while it looks a bit janky at times its still a whole lot faster than doing it all by hand. [VIDEO]

As someone who is in touch with a lot of people acting as VTubers in order to keep privacy while being able to express themselves, I'm very happy to see this! EbSynth gave Joel Haver a trademark style[1], and I feel this might be the next step. 1. [VIDEO]

>There's a popular youtuber named Joel Haver who films videos, then uses an AI tool to convert them into animations, so they can be magically put into a space or fantasy setting. Hang on, AI tool? Joel Haver converts every frame manually. His method is the literal opposite of using an AI tool. It's incredibly painstaking. [VIDEO]

Looks like rotoscoping: [LINK] . The closest you would get is maybe an edge detection filter. Or AI rotoscoping: [LINK] . Or maybe EbSynth, as demoed by this guy: [VIDEO] But it never looks as nice as the hand-drawn way.
