Contextual studies - Pixilation

As part of the contextual studies module we watched a few examples of pixilation animation yesterday in the studio, pixilation is a technique in which film makers and animators take a sequence of frame by frame images of live action footage to create a kind of stop motion effect, this technique is quite effective as it helps real life characters within films interact with stop motion characters, this technique also adds an eerie effect to the animation, a good example of this is the film 'The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb'.
After the presentation about pixilation we were then given the task of making our own little pixilation short, i think our short example of pixilation animation worked quite well in the end.
