Rotoscope
When I rotoscoped last time, I drew over EVERY component in EVERY frame, but this time around to save time and in hopes of reducing line boiling, I copied and pasted elements that didn't move/had very little movement. I think this resulted in a more visually pleasing animation.
I'm going to have to disagree with what I have read during my dissertation research, as I think this is my favourite out of the three animations.Though I think it is very close between this and my 'with reference' test, I think this animation is just so smooth. The timings of this animation portrays the hesitancy of the character as they look for the cup with their hand really well. Though some practitioners seem to think that rotoscoping drains the life out of characters and makes them 'wooden', I don't believe this to be the case in this animation. I think it is the most lifelike out of the three and portrays the most realistic movements.
I do think if I was to give myself more time, I would be able to make my 'with reference' more realistic by adding in more in-betweens to slow down the motion to imply a greater sense of hesitancy. I only spent two days working on the 'with reference test' where-as this rotoscoping session took around 3-4 days as the video was much longer. Having said this, it is only a test and the rotoscoping method has produced some realistic movements anyway.
