The image above is an onion skin charcoal sketch done by hand atop live video, frame by frame, but I'm WAY too lazy and incompetent for that. That's why, in order to achieve the same look, I was thinking of Z-tooning (flattening the 3D figures into 2D-like images using a surrogate primitive as the parent object) a Poser animation, then exporting the animation (as a series of PNGs) either to Final Cut Pro (where a video filter or two would be applied to the PNG still-image sequence) OR using Photoshop's automation feature to apply a more complex sequence of filters to each individual frame (uh, all 18,000 of them - I figure that task alone might take up to 2 days of steady computer time). So yeah, I could probably get close to where I want without actual frame-by-frame postwork in a couple of ways, but I'm hoping that someone has stumbled upon an ideal setting in the custom sketch render setup (perhaps along with some light settings, etc.) that does a good job. I could take it from there. Incidentally, the image is from a well known 80's pop music video, which in turn used a storyline from the movie Brasil. I haven't seen anything quite like it in the 20+ years hence. When you finally think of it, you'll say the name of the band. SS
