    [Eric Floyd] “If theres any way to recreate this in vegas someone please tell me, and if not i would like to know how this is done.”

    Eric, you are watching a fairly sophisticated and most likely, a 3rd-Party plug-intensive outcome, intelligently applied by somebody who knows their way around compositing and the use of Plugs.

    Here’s my analysis:

    1] Human was captured against Green or Blue Screen and chroma-keyed into the NLE. VP can utilize this workflow.

    2] (This is the real hard bit for you to accept) Most likely the Stop Motion ( which IS possible in VP) to get that “flick-book” look has then had a 3rd Party Plug to create a combination of Pencil and Paint and mostly likely the whole shebang was then multilayer-ed to achieve a Dodge or Lighten or whatever, to yet further adjust the compositing to get that painterly look.

    You are looking at a well put together, thoughtful and slick presentation. Or maybe I’m wrong and there is now a Plug that’ll do ALL this without the analysis I spent time on describing!

    Graham broke it down very nicely. You may be able to get the paint effect using Vegas Pro alone using my tutorial:

    Turn Video into a Water Color Painting

    and/or

    Make a Pencil Sketch

    You can get the video to stutter (i.e., stop-motion) by lowering the Undersample Rate in the Properties of the Event.

    The NewBlue stylizers package has some filters that could help with the water color and sketch effect. You would probably use a couple of them and composite them together for the final effect.
