Pixelation

Pixelation works by taking multiple photos of someone moving slightly each time. When these photos are played back in a normal pace it tricks your brain into thinking it is a moving image. You can make this type of animation with almost anything.

We made a quick 11 second animation to show how pixilation works. Pixilation is a series of still images put together one after another and when they are played back it tricks your brain into thinking the picture is moving. For pixilation to work the images need to be only slightly changed to make it look like a smooth transaction and to give you the best result. The frame rate was 12 images a second, the more frames a second means the smoother the result. The file export was a DV which is the highest quality file but it takes up the most memory to save. Then we exported the file into the public folder in our college so the entire group had access to the document and were able to upload the video to their own YouTube.
We are happy with the result of our stop motion animation, I did enjoy doing the animation and would not mind being in future animations. We have uploaded the video to youtube to allow it to be marked and for the public to watch.
