If you don’t want the scanner darkly look or a canned effect look, you will have to paint frame by frame. If ub and the gang at disney could do it – if bakshi could do it, so can you!
All great art is time consuming so buck up and dive in. better yet bring in some artistic friends who don’t mind slaving over your vision for free.
i just hit the 2.5 year mark on my 30 minute film and i think it’s been worth the wait.
good, cheap, and fast – pick any two.
Or maybe Aaron Rabinowitz’s cartoon look technique is what you need. There’s a tutorial for it here on the Cow.
Best of luck.
