Pixelated Animation

Pixilation Animation
This type of animation is a form of Stop Motion animation, which means that you animate live actors instead of objects and materials and create the effect of the actors being animated.

The principle of pixilated animation is that you move the actors or the objects very slowly, step by step in front of the camera, capturing one frame at the time.

Pixilated Animation is quite similar to the object animation except that it is seeable to see facial expressions and movements more then in object animation. These two processes are quite similar although I personally enjoyed Object Animation more as I prefer working with object as to work with live actors as it is more simple to return them on original place in case mistake happens etc.

I didn't like this animation process at all, as I felt that we had limited ideas as we were in my group allowed to film only within the space of college. This animation is also very time consuming.

Here are three examples of Pixilated Animation:

Cut Out Animation

Cut Out Animation

Cut-Out animation is one of the oldest forms of animation and in pre computer days, probably the easiest to make. 

Cut-out animation is a technique for producing animations using flat characters, props and backgrounds, cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs. 

Nowadays a cut-out animation is produced using computers. I really enjoyed producing animation through cut out process  because it is one of the most typical processes and I personally really enjoyed the creative part of the cutting out. 

Here are some famous examples of cut-out animation:

My Object Animation

Object Animation is the process of animating non-drawn objects using real life objects and materials such as toys, clay, wood, blocks etc.

This type of animation is really close to film-making as it involves many aspects of producing a film such as lighting, camera movement, lens etc.

I quite enjoyed object animation although I found it quite difficult to gain the ideas of what objects to animate with and the story as with objects the animations feel more limited as for example cut-out animation where you have loads of different picture material to use.
