Rotoscoping for Asset Management

Why Asset Management Needs Rotoscoping

In the Asset Management sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Rotoscoping delivers measurable results that transform how asset management professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Asset Management

Asset management firms operate under strict regulatory constraints that directly impact video production. Every claim about performance, risk, or strategy must be reviewed by compliance before publication, adding 1-3 weeks to delivery timelines. Video content falls into two categories: regulated materials (fund presentations, market outlooks) that require legal disclaimers and precise language, and softer content (team introductions, office culture, ESG commitments) with more creative freedom. Distribution is narrow — LinkedIn, the firm's website, and institutional investor portals — because public advertising of financial products is restricted in most European markets. The on-camera talent is typically portfolio managers and analysts who need coaching to communicate complex ideas simply. Budgets range from 3,000 to 15,000 euros per video, with quarterly market update series being the most common recurring format.

Video Challenges in Asset Management

Humanizing the Corporate Brand

72% of job seekers research company culture before applying. Internal communication videos reduce misunderstanding by 50% compared to email alone. Yet many corporations struggle to produce video that feels authentic rather than corporate and stiff.

From employer branding to annual reports, executive communications to training modules, corporate video must balance professionalism with relatability. The challenge is creating content that employees and stakeholders actually want to watch.

Our Rotoscoping Process

VFX Pipeline

1. Plate Preparation: Shot analysis, camera tracking, rotoscoping, and clean plate generation for smooth integration.

2. Asset Creation: 3D modeling, texturing, and lighting of CG elements to match the live-action plate perfectly.

3. Compositing: Multi-layer compositing in Nuke/After Effects with color matching, grain matching, lens distortion, and atmospheric effects.

4. QC & Delivery: Frame-by-frame quality control, final render at full resolution, and delivery with VFX breakdown documentation.

What Makes Rotoscoping Unique

Rotoscoping is frame-by-frame masking of subjects when green screen was not available or when you need to isolate elements within existing footage. We trace precise mattes around people, objects, or regions using Silhouette and Mocha Pro, handling motion blur, hair wisps, and semi-transparent areas like glass or fabric. A 5-second shot at 24fps means 120 hand-refined frames — this is labor-intensive work that we execute with sub-pixel accuracy. Turnaround is 2-4 days per shot depending on complexity. Deliverables include the alpha matte sequence (EXR or PNG) and a pre-composed version ready for your compositor.

What You Receive

You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
