Pixilation
Pixilation Animation is when people are used to tell a story rather then paper, Clay, images etc. One shot per frame rate is used to make the person/people look as if they are really moving when in reality it is just a group of pictures put together.
This type of animation has been around since the film akin began. The first film which used pixilation is El hotel eléctrico which was made in 1908. Nowadays its been seen in music videos. Film and TV Ads.
Above is a short pixilation which my partner and i created to try out are skills and knowledge of pixilation animation. The story line is not very clear as we had to change our original idea as it was to much to do in so little time and as this was just a practice we thought it may be easier to come up with something random but creative.
When creating it there was many advantages and disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages was it was definitely not easy to do as for each frame you could only move slightly for example when i was walking i could only move one foot each frame and keep my face expressions the same so that the audience would genuinely believe i was walking. other disadvantages was it takes a long time to do, you have to keep an extra close eye on continuity and the actors need a lot of patience.
Some advantages is there is not a lot of equipment needed, you can be extra creative with the story and its fun.
