Priceless Films Breaks New Ground With
Rotoscoped Porn - Adult Anime DVD
Posted:7:00 am PDT 2007-06-11
Computer graphics company Priceless Films has combined rotoscope animation
techniques with adult video in Drawn for Porn, the first in a five-volume series described
as "a comic come to life."
Recently seen in Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly, rotoscoping combines
hand-drawn and CGI animation, matted on top of live action footage. "We both have a love of art, and we
sort of messed around doing the rotoscoping technique for the last couple of years, and we
were like, 'Let's give the adult industry a go, and try something unusual,'" said
Tahl Price, who co-founded Priceless Films with his brother Darron.
"The footage was taken from
footage that we own," Tahl explained. "But all the actors, all the faces,
they're all made up. The first one is a bunch of different vignettes, kind of like a gonzo
thing, and the following ones will have more of a storyline."
Drawn for Porn has yet to find a
distributor, but the company is "contemplating distributing ourselves," Tahl
noted. "We're really looking to go through someone else if we can, but we have the
means to do it ourselves."
The first installment of Drawn for
Porn took approximately six months to produce, according to the Prices, and runs an hour
and 25 minutes.
