A quick look at the video and it seems that roto-scope  is a method of
extracting a defined area from a background.

All sorts of ways in Gimp. Do a search for extract foreground. There is such a
tool in Gimp. I did this little video (duration two and a bit minutes) as a demo
for someone who could not get their head around it.

It is not my favourite. There is a good interactive foreground extract in the
gmic gimp plugin www.gmic.eu  Depending on the image, scissors tool to make a
selection or create a path around the subject and path-to-selection.
