Level3 First animation, I used Istopmotion to create this pixiLation animation , Basically to do this kind of animation i used a live action model (laura) it was our first try of this kind of method of animation.

Before creating this piece of animation, we watched a video which was created by Norman Maclaren- Neighbours, we used the same methods as he did, but instead of an actual camera we used the webcams, For every second of the animation we took around 25pictures which afterword when played back it will look like an video.
This is one of the videos we watched.
This is something I'm sort of thinking to do next, something longer and rather with more actions, and models. 
This piece of pixilation animation has been done using a normal camera rather than what we used (a webcam) which is makes it more difficult to where the camera angle is or where the models are places, which a normal camera is easier to do more actions and shoots unlike the webcam.

Here is another piece of animation, this piece happens to be one of my favourite pixilation animations so far. This piece was made the same way as the Other Pixilation animations, but this piece was made in black and white.

Persistence of Vision


Persistence of Vision is a concept which mean that we see motion in film, this theory means the human brain, and the eyes retains images for a fraction of second, which explains the reason why the world doesn't go black each time we blink our eyes.
How stop motion work is animation which is made of captured of each frame at a time, with physical objects that are moved between each frame to create a sequence, then when the sequence is of the images is rapidly played it creates the illusion of a characters/objects movement.

Zoetrope.


The Zoetrope was invented by William Honer back in the 1834, first it was called the (The Wheel of the devil) and then it was changed from that name to the (wheel of life) which when it was changed to that name in the 1860s it became quit popular.

Phenakistoscope 





The Phenakistiscope and "Stroboscopic disc" were the first instrumenst to create an illusion of movment based of a variety of rapidly changing pictures, the basic technique used is also used in the Zoetrope, and the ZoopraxiscopE.

The device was invented at around the late 1832 by Plateau, who adopted the name phenakisticop (Phenakisticope of Phenakistiscope, and also by Simon Von stampfer, wh called his version Die Stroboscopischen scheiben.
