Below is my final Pixelation Sequence. Out of all the animations that I have trialed through this project I have decided that this is the most advanced for a number of reasons. The main reason i have chosen this one as my final piece is that it seems to flow much smoother than any other of the animations i have done previously. I also belive this is more impressive as different filters and effects were required for different parts of the sequence. Finally I would like to say that i'm really happy with it. Let me know what you think!

This weeks seminar was based around the practise of pixelation. Pixelation is the production of video footage from a series of still images (as in stop motion) however whereby people are involved.

A series of images were produced in groups of 4 and we will individualy process those images individualy. My group decided to do our filming in a local Nottingham pub - can't imagine why =) Unfortunatly those images won't be worked on until next week.

However as a continue to my animation/pixelation work I am working on producing two other small clips:

The first uses clay models as my 'puppets'. The raw image sequence for this below, as you can see sound and visual effects are still to be added, some timing issues also need to be resolved:


The second sequence i'm working on is involving the use of toy cars. The raw image sequence for this below, as you can see sound and visual effects are still to be added, further images may also be added:

As a follow on to 'Pin-Hole Camera-ing' during freshers week we were also tought methods used to create stop motion animation. This was achieved using a stills camera (standard digital camera), a tripod, a whiteboard and a couple of marker pens.

We were split into groups of 4 and told to think of interesting ways to transfer a box from one side of a house, to the other side.

The results of this are shown below (my groups animation is from 1.06 to 1.15)
