Pixilation (from pixilated) is a stop motion technique where live actors are used as a frame-by-frame subject in an animated film, by repeatedly posing while one or more frame is taken and changing pose slightly before the next frame or frames. The actor becomes a kind of living stop motion puppet.
Why Video in the Classroom
Digital video is a powerful communication tool that should be part of every student’s media literacy skills. Video production builds team work, interpersonal communication skills, writing, planning and decision making, as well as story telling. It is also really fun so you students will work really hard without even knowing it.
