colouring hand drawn animations – an easy way?
I am about to start on a job with an animator who is of the old school. he will had draw each frame black on white (simple figures running around on a plain white background) making sure that there are no gaps i.e. that all colour will be in closed spaces. These frames will then be scanned in and lined up and given to me to composite. My question is: is there a quick way in AE to colour one area – say a charachter’s hair – over time after creating a moving sequence rather than colouring each frame in seperately using the fill tool in photoshop. some kind of motion tracking perhaps – or a trick with the paint tool? I’l reasonably experienced with AE but more with working with video that hand drawn stuff like this.

There are a few “flood fill” tools out there like AE’s own eyedropper fill, but in particular the blending near the edges leaves a lot to be desired. You might get better results using specialised toon programs like Toonboom Studio.
