    Is there a way to get rid of the flicker thing in the cartooning method, its like the colors change in certain spots and make this kind of flicker thing happen. It may be the camera im using or the lighting. I use a sony dcr-trv280 d8 camera

    Sever things contribute to that, near as I can tell:

    1) Poor and inconsistant lighting. Video cameras get a lot of noise in porr lighting, and as a result, Illustrator will pick up on those stary pixels, altering the color.

    If the lighting changes over time (like the sun moving behind a cloud) it will definately cause the colors to change

    2) Make sure you have created a color palette, as it explains in part 2. Without that color palatte limiting the color choices, color will flicker no matter how good your lighting.

    3) Lower the frame rate – it helps.

    4) If you can film in front of a green screen, and use a statick bacground image it helps – a LOT. I’ve since tested that, and if you limit the palette to one green and then use keylight to remove the green BG… and then using a cartoonified BG still image, it really helps.
