Mortal Kombat promo reel shows off old-school rotoscoping tech

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG0x7f4BkQY This short promo piece for 1992 arcade game Mortal Kombat introduces the actors and the techniques used to digitize their moves, a precursor to contemporary performance-capture technology. MK, though always second-fiddle to Street Fighter in the gameplay stakes, was a splendid parody of the stock characters and scenarios from 70s and 80s martial arts movies. (via @UnburntWitch)
