A Pixilation Animation

Pixilation is a type of stop motion animation, using people as models. The pioneer of this type of animation was Norman McClaren with his film "Neighbours," shown in an earlier blog post. Pixilation is done by taking individual pictures of a person in slightly different positions so that when they are sewn together, they look like the person is moving.

This is an animation created by my group using iStopMotion at 12 frames per second. Once the film was finished, we uploaded it to youtube and then here. We, by using pixilation, made it look as though Ben, when jumping, was flying or floating and then sliding and Jack was sliding across the table.
