Rotoscoping for Beginners: A Guide to Redundant Expressionism

Rotoscoping, the art of repetitive, expressionist expression, has long been the domain of the avant-garde and the clinically insane. But fear not, dear reader, for we shall guide you through the basics of this dark art.

It all begins with the fundamentals: taking a video and playing it back to yourself, ad infinitum, in an endless loop of self-referential navel-gazing.

From there, one may progress to more advanced techniques: layering, superimposition, and the judicious use of strobe lights to create an atmosphere of existential dread.

But beware, for the line between art and madness is a thin one. We've seen it all before, and we're still here, staring at the abyss, wondering what we did wrong.
