Horror vacui: Cortometraje mediante rotoscopia

Abstract

The following paper witness a video made in a digital technique called rotoscoping, consisting on replacing the frames of a video by digitally traced images. The first chapter deals with the horror vacui or "fear to the empty" by analyzing its context, its current present and its relationship to the Baroque. The fear to the empty is included in our current age by investigating the reality of the contemporary man. This first analysis finalizes with an alternative suggested solution based on faith, which allows us to live ethically and morally against the diversity of post-modern realities. The second part refers specifically to the technique of rotoscoping where the readers will know its characteristics, history, and technological means for its implementation and some film’s examples. The last part concludes with a practical work process where pre-production, production and postproduction were included with a rotoscoping technique. This paper also includes a personal aesthetic experience described in the video proposed.
