Pixilation

Our class was set a pixilation project, that was to create a pixilation based on either 'Predator and Prey', 'Parent and Child' or 'Host and Parasite' relationships.


I chose to do a predator and prey style relationship and set about storyboarding a situation where my flatmate was attacking my friend Alex, from my course.

The story goes: Alex is cooking in the kitchen when she hears a knock at the door. She goes to open the door and Adele is standing there looking furious. (We don't know why she is so angry but I'm sure she has a valid reason! perhaps Alex forgot about something important, or maybe Adele and Alex just really don't get on.) Adele then chases Alex around the kitchen and the living room before catching her, pushing her to the floor and dragging her out of the room.




The actual pixilation wasn't that hard to do, and it didn't take too long, but I re-shot it a couple of times to work out camera angles to get the approach I wanted. I think the hardest part of the pixilation process was actually just getting the people to be free to help out.. it's surprisingly hard to get students to stop doing their own work for an hour or so when a deadline is close... 

Overall I'm quite happy with the final animation, although I would like to add some sound in if I had time, as you have to interpret that Alex has heard the door.
