There are articles in Cinemagic magazine about how to build your own optical
printer and rotoscoping. Scans of this magazine are freely available online.
I have not done it myself, but you can make your own contact prints on a
Steenbeck, which would be easier to find than an actual contact printer.
You might be able to find more information on rotoscoping in some vintage
filmmaking books, maybe Lenny Lipton's book would have a section on that?
