    I’ve done a bit of research into trying to figure out this animation technique, but unfortunately haven’t had any luck finding any detailed explanations. Here are a couple of examples:

    This is my first year of working with after effects so I’m relatively new to learning all that this program is capable of. If anyone can explain this process of animation to me I will be eternally grateful. I hope to learn this in time to do my senior project in the next 2 months.

    There are a lot of things going on in that video. Which exact parts are you wondering about?

    Very similar to rotoscoping, you would basically paint over the video frames with the graphics you want to animate and do them frame by frame, except maybe half the frame rate, so painting every other frame or every 3 frames, whichever you prefer. For the graphics that aren’t painting over video frames, you could maybe get away with some turbulent noise effects and time posterization to get the frame by frame look. Turbulent noise can displace the alpha channel of your graphic and make it look wiggly. Time posterization essentially reduces the frame rate.
