SCENE 01 / ROTOSCOPING CLEANUP
Rotoscoping & Cleanup
Precision rotoscoping and invisible cleanup work that forms the foundation of seamless visual effects.
Here is how this works in practice. Rotoscoping and cleanup are frame-by-frame post-prod processes that isolate elements, remove unwanted objects, and prepare footage for compositing. Rotoscoping traces precise mattes around subjects for extraction, while cleanup removes wires, rigs, markers, and other artifacts visible in raw production footage.
Here is the short of it. We set up rotoscoping and cleanup work with VFX facilities skilled in detailed frame-by-frame processing. Our team manages shot turnover, quality reviews, and delivery schedules to make sure your footage is cleanly prepared for compositing or presented free of distracting production artifacts.

On Location
Croatia's VFX-prep capacity, concentrated in Zagreb, draws on a deep visual-arts talent pool rooted in the celebrated Zagreb School of Animation and expanded by major international service productions.
Here is how this works in practice. We deliver rotoscoping and cleanup for shoots finishing in Croatia. The frame-by-frame work that isolates elements and removes unwanted objects to prepare footage for compositing. Our team sets up with Zagreb VFX facilities skilled in detailed roto and paint work, using Silhouette for precise shape work. Nuke for integration with the compositing pipeline. Mocha Pro for planar-tracking-helped roto, selecting the right tool per shot. We trace accurate mattes around subjects for extraction.
Here is the short of it. Handle cleanup of wires, rigs, tracking markers, and other production artefacts so plates read clean. Motion blur is matched in direction and intensity to the source using specialty edge treatments and multi-frame techniques. Challenging elements such as fine hair, fur, and semi-transparent edges are handled with core mattes, soft edges, and detailed hand work that preserves natural detail. We manage shot turnover, careful quality review at each stage, and delivery scheduling, scaling the team to meet deadlines and giving detailed guesses from shot breakdowns.
Here is the breakdown. Rotoscoping and cleanup skill in Croatia rests on a strong visual-arts foundation. The country's image-craft custom is rooted in the celebrated Zagreb School of Animation, centred on Zagreb Film, one of the twentieth century's most influential animation movements. A heritage, sustained by Animafest Zagreb, that built generations of careful frame-by-frame craft talent. The VFX-prep sector grew further with global service shoots: the edit and VFX infrastructure built through projects such as 'Game of Thrones'.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. This used Dubrovnik as King's Landing and the cellars of Diocletian's Palace in Split, and 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' in Dubrovnik, grown the Zagreb compositing and roto capacity. This combination gives roto and cleanup work here both craft depth and pipeline experience. We advise on the 25 percent 'Filming in Croatia' rebates administered by HAVC. This can apply to qualifying VFX and post-prod spend. Make sure prepared plates and mattes meet the tech standards needed for downstream compositing and final delivery.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What rotoscoping software do you use?
Here is the breakdown. We primarily use Silhouette, Nuke, and Mocha Pro for rotoscoping work. Each tool has strengths for different scenarios - Silhouette for detailed shape work, Nuke for integration with compositing, and Mocha for planar tracking-helped roto. We select the best tool for each shot.
How do you handle motion blur in roto?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Motion blur needs careful attention to keep natural-looking edges. We match blur direction and intensity to the source footage, using specialized edge treatments and multi-frame techniques. The goal is seamless integration where the roto edges are invisible in the final composite.
Can you work with difficult elements like hair?
Here is how the picture comes together. Yes, we specialize in challenging roto including fine hair, fur, and semi-transparent elements. We use techniques including core mattes with soft edges, multi-channel keying help, and detailed hand work to achieve clean results that preserve natural edge detail.
What's your typical turnaround for roto work?
Turnaround depends on shot complexity and volume. Simple roto might be completed in hours per shot, while complex character work with hair and motion blur needs more time. We give detailed estimates based on shot breakdowns and can scale our team to meet deadlines.
