Rotoscoping :)

Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, pre-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 This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computerss in recent years. In the visual effectss 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.

an example of rotoscoping is the 1978 animated fantasy film: Lord Of The Rings.

i think this could be a good way of doing an animation, alough i think it woud take alot of time to draw 28 frams for one second the output would be great.
