Here is another idea for my interaction. It will be something interesting for the user, but before working with the final version I will make a video test.
Rotoscoping - is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame. Originally, recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background.
The technique was invented by Max Fleischer, who used it in his series Out of the Inkwell starting around 1915.
