Pixilation

During the lesson we had to create a short animation so we did, we worked in groups to create a small animation. we used the programme "I Stop Animation".  we had to export it into a movie so that we could we could see it.  The Animation we used was Pixilation, Pixilation is were you use a series of small still images to make a small animation but your brain tricks you into think its moving. I did enjoy it but if i was the one in front of the camera i would seriously scared. The frame rate we did was series of 12 images per seconds, then we exported it to upload it to youtube. Then we had to embed it on to my blog


Pixilation
Pixilation is a Stop motion which involves the Techniques where live actors actually are taken frame by frame which is the subject to animated Film, these techniques are repeatedly created by more than one type of frame and they would keep changing pose in every next frame so that it would create a short film, the actors in these frames become like a puppet controlled by frames.

Here are some examples below of Pixilation :D

Warner Bros. created Looney Tunes around. it preceded Merrie Melodies series and was Warner Bros.' first animated theatrical series it was originally created in the 1930s but became worldwide in the 1950s and became sensational and it made around 1000 episodes.



Woody Woodpecker made by Walt Lantz and was the first animated series he did though not the first of the screwball characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody is perhaps the most indicative of the type. He didn't do that many of the Episodes of woody woodpecker and it was disturbed by Universal Studies




Oliver Postgate created Bagpuss and he did the clanger's too. Bagpuss was created in 1970's Although only 13 episodes of the show were made, it remains fondly remembered, and was regularly repeated in the UK for thirteen years. In 1999 Bagpuss topped a BBC poll for the UK's favourite children's TV programme.

WALT DISNEY
Steamboat willie was made by walt disney comic and was made in 1928 it was made in black and white and was the first to be disturbed by disney it was also one of the first cartoon with synchronized sound. They made the animation by using cell based animation.
