The technique was created by Max Fliescher and was used in his series 'Out Of The Inkwell' which started in 1915. and then patented the technique in 1917.

Since then it's been used in a number of famous films, like Snow White, where rotoscoping was used to study the movements of humans and animals It was used in many cartoons across many countries until computers eventually replaced the technique
orcs chanting
in the clip of the of the orcs chanting there is smoke added in the back layers on the sequence and also in areas added to the front layer, it is well done in the way it looks like real smoke and natural, it is a nice final cut and the smoke gives a feel of terror as the orcs appear chanting from the mist and shadows
