Grasshorse Launches Rotoscoping Clinic for Graphic Designers

Winfield, Iowa based Grasshorse, a video and animation company is looking to teach and train budding designers the fine art of rotoscoping. What the hell is rotoscoping? It has something to do with converting 2D video into 3D ... and it pays better than a starving artists' art show. From the release:

“Grasshorse is mounting an effort to identify talent in Iowa for upcoming rotoscoping projects by using a multi-pronged approach,” says Stephen Jennings, COO. “First, we will be holding a rotoscoping lecture to inform potential talent of the art, followed by a portfolio review.”

"These are high tech, high demand jobs, with year-round employment opportunities. We're talking the potential need for 100+ entry level positions,” says Kathy Buxton, CEO.

Secondly, Grasshorse will be offering a rotoscoping workshop to select applicants as an introduction to the industry. “It can help potential artists determine if they have an interest in pursuing a career as a rotoscoper,” says Jennings, COO.

The February 5th Rotoscoping Informational Session will have a two part lecture, the first from 9am-12pm and the second from 1–3pm, followed by a portfolio review from 3-6pm at 111 North Locust in Winfield. “This lecture is an opportunity to identify potential artists that may fill upcoming positions creating stereo generation of films through the rotoscoping process,” adds Jennings.
