Would it be feasible to create a cartoon using hyperrealistic oil paintings? How long would it take?

One way to simplify the task would be by using 'rotoscoping', but it would work only if your 'hyperrealistic' scenes or action can actually be staged (meaning they are not, for example, imaginary aliens in an parallel universe). Rotoscoping converts live-action film images into cartoon-like art (see the movie 'Through a Scanner Darkly' or some investment fund commercials of the last several years). Or, use a do-it-yourself variant: 1.

Stage a scene. 2. Photograph it.3.

Import the photo into a photo-manipulation program, like Photoshop. 4. Apply the oil-painting tools to convert the photo into a painting-like image.5.

Save the digital image as a still.6. Repeat (almost endlessly).7. Use an animation or film program to link all the successive images.

Some of the better animation programs can also create 'in-between' images that fill smoothly between key scenes, cutting down substantially on your labor. By the way, the preceding process — with a whole lot of high-priced bells and whistles and computing power thrown in — is essentially what James Cameron used to create 'Avatar'. Good Luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
