(PART 6 NOTE : The purpose of this video is stated clearly as being specifically geared towards rotoscoping freeware 3d animations, as part of the previs (previsualisation) process. Mixamo is free and allows for the animations to be used in personal, commercial and non profit projects. Please do not use any animations that you do not have the right/permissions to. I am not encouraging the use of rotoscoping for beginners as something to lean on, but for use as part of a particular process.)
