Pixellation

Pixellation is the use of the human body as stop motion animation. An example of this would be Peter Gabriel's music video "Sledgehammer". Stop motion as an art form allows you to do things with movement you probably wouldn't be able to do in real life. It's like animation for surrealists. At first I didn't really have an idea for my pixellation video, so I tried to come up with something simple. I went with the lost dog story as a beginning idea, but moved onto a lost cat, because finding cats can be much more difficult than finding dogs. I got two of my friends to look around my house for a nonexistant cat, only to have their hopes crushed when they can't find him.
