Yesterday I redrew one Minotaur at high resolution to see if a full clean up animation pass might work for the scene. The idea would have been to redraw every Minotaur frame by frame. It is how the traditional Disney films were done but I decided the clean up drawing looked to stiff.
Instead of redrawing every line I am going to go through and position high resolution bodies over the green screen scene. In the frame above only the foreground Minotaur has a high resolution body in place. My plan for now is to keep positioning high res bodies over the existing footage as the figure moves back in space. My hope is that the Minotaurs that are turning the bend will be high resolution since they were not re positioned.
I will only redraw limbs that are glaringly out of focus. In this first frame the limbs of the foreground Minotaur are not very out of focus. Other Minotarus in the scene do have limbs that are out of focus. I might end up having to redraw all the limbs but for now I will see what I can get away with.
This will clearly be a multiple day job, so I better get started.
