Roto tests and what not

So I tried out some rotoscoping with Nuke and it's awesome. I completed a fairly straight forward shot that runs for about 15 seconds in roughly 2 hours and the outcome was very pleeaaassiinngg. I didn't need to go back and fix much if anything. Emma was happy and so was Joel so looks like it's all happy.

But apparently there's 160 something shots in this film............ and a large chunk are going to need rotoscoped.......... and they will all be a bit more involved than the one I tested with.......... plus I didn't exactly do it as professionally as I will be with the actual shots and it still took around 2 hours for 15 seconds.

Assuming I get faster and better with practice and assuming only 80% of shots are going to beed rotoscoped (probably more but just for the example). Then assuming the shots will only be 7.5 seconds on average then this is going to take around 130 hours of rotoscoping.

Also I'm terrible at math.

Let the fun times begin.
