Pixilation: Research

For Pixilation, we looked at Food by Jan Svankmajer. Although this animation follows the general rules of creating a Pixilation, I found it to be extremely disturbing. Putting the fact that it was uncomforable to watch aside, I do really like the that Svankmajer made the characters move in a robotic way, and the way that he made the whole Pixilation run quite smooth despite the fact that it was a Pixilation. 

The one thing that this animation has made me realise is that Pixilation can be about anything and everything and can effect the audience in a number of different ways. Whilst the process itself can make the characters look very comedic in the way they move and appear, if the content of the Pixilation is chosen correctly and you are clever about the way you shoot it, you can create quite a serious Pixilation.
